Something deadly comes to life on October 13, 2008 when the terrifying thriller The Ruins screams onto DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Based on the gripping best-selling novel by Scott Smith, The Ruins showcases a hot young cast including Jonathan Tucker (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Jena Malone (Donnie Darko), Shawn Ashmore (X-Men: The Last Stand), Laura Ramsey (She’s the Man) and Joe Anderson (Across the Universe).

Featuring never-before-seen footage that was too intense for cinemas, the DVD includes an all new ending, commentary by director Carter Smith and editor Jeff Betancourt, The Making of The Ruins, Creeping Death, Building The Ruins and deleted scenes.

When a group of tight-knit college friends visit the site of an undisturbed Mayan ruin, they stumble into an ancient trap where an unspoken evil is waiting to drag its victims into an endless nightmare.

As fear and paranoia eat away at their sanity, their only chance at escape is to commit the unthinkable.
