To answer why they didnt build a fence, in the alternate ending/book; the girl who got away wrecked the getaway car and the plant pulled her and the car into the jungle and while doing so, it was revealed the plants also covered all signs. Made the story even more depressing and dark.

I mean. To be fair hes got the right idea. Look at those wounds. Most of all kinds of tissue other than bone are gone. There's nothing to save. Even in a modern level 1 this would only be treated with bilat AKAs. with significant wound debridement, and left with a wound vac in place since primary closure would likely not be an option initially. Of course he should have known that he's not a surgeon and without a proper hospital attempting that procedure is likely to kill him faster while still doing absolutely nothing about the infection. So not improving quality of life or outcome. He was always going to die.

The problem with signs is that, while most people will abide by them, there are plenty of people that see “Keep Out” signs as a challenge or an indicator that there’s something good being kept hidden. I can recall hearing one instance of an underwater cave that had such a high body count that not only were the usual “there’s nothing worth your life in here” signs put up, but a steel grate was also installed to keep potential casualties out of the cave. What did authorities find when they checked on it later? The steel grate removed and a different sign put up that said “You can’t keep us out.”

The fence / sign deal was covered in the book, the plants will tear down or use their spores to influence the area. Also the locals regard it as kind of diety in which they allow sacrafices to hence the archilogists. Basically keep the plant diety happy and it won't come after them or have a reason to spread.

@krishanubanerjee6955
@krishanubanerjee6955 4 ай бұрын
Bingo! I believe you hit the nail right on the head. There is a theory that the plants are the physical embodiment of a Mayan deity, who'll destroy the world unless it is provided with fresh sacrifices from time to time. That's why there are no boundary walls or signs. The villagers have intentionally spread word about the ruins, so that daredevils visit the place and sate the old God's hunger. They could sacrifice their own people, but why bother, if outsiders voluntarily step in to do it for them? This is a bit like the Cabin in the Woods remake. Sacrifice a few to save the rest of the world!

The worst thing is that if they were able to call for rescue, modern medicine and quarantine procedures would have probably been able to treat them (including the young boy of their own) and ensure the plants weren't able to spread. The jungle people assume that bc they don't have the resources to contain the plants and kill them nobody else does either.

LOL! Once when we were camping in the mountains in NC, we met a Forest Service intern and asked him to stay for supper. He told us the main part of his job during the heaviest weeks of the tourist season was to just go about half a mile from the major trailhead at Cades Cove and turn the people back that weren't equipt to go any farther. No water, wearing sandals, etc. He needed to educate them that they weren't on the forest ride at Disney, and what to bring on a serious hike.

Okay, I am a huge nerd, and I loved this movie so, I read the book it was based on. And in the book it's inferred that the local Mayans are essentially sacrificing them to the plants. They're a super natural entity in the book.

In the book, the vines covered the signs they were putting in but for some reason the salt circles made them slow down. I hate Western media for wanting happy endings cause in the book everyone got deleted and the vines spread into Amy's grave.

Is your phone charged? 2. Are you going down a dark alley alone? 3. Have you besmirched an old gypsy woman who cursed you? 4. Did an Alien monster just board your vessel?"

As someone who loved the original The Ruins book, the movie fails so badly at the story that it's worth a read just to see all the differences. The most major of them though? The order in which literally every single character is killed lol. It was (and still is) one of my favorite books, so much so that I've read it 3 times, and I'm not even a big fan of reading books.

Idk if the villagers don’t want ppl finding this pyramid simply burning the vines seems like an easy solution. If they do then I guess everyone up there is screwed. But they could atleast also try to burn the vines before fleeing and getting shot.

What I don't understand is, of the locals didn't want this plant getting out of the secured area, when they cover the entire thing in salt. Not just the grounds around the pyramid, but what about the actual steps, and even pouring salt inside of the pyramid.
