This week, Jef has chosen one of his late-aughts faves: 2008’s ‘The Ruins’. Brian comes to terms with the fact that he requires his horror villains to have a face - preferably one made of rubber - and Josh is again frustrated with Jef’s determination to bring actual good movies to the dinner table. Because he prefers the taste of crap. Although the social media video sensation known as ‘Vines’ wouldn’t take off until five years later, this white-privilege, vacation-friends, major-label body-horror gem features vines front and center, atop a pyramid! And while this same year, M. Night’s ‘The Happening’ would feature the fjärts of the plant world, ‘The Ruins’ focuses more on the teeth, the viscera, the mimicry and the invasion! Plug in your green thumb and enjoy!
