RUINS

About This Movie

RUINS is this intriguing piece, a pandemic story but told in such an unusual way. It’s all about this group of six hospital staff, nine years after a devastating infection. The 'TELL BUT DON'T SHOW' format gives it a raw, almost documentarian feel—it’s like piecing together a puzzle from scraps. The atmosphere is bleak and haunting, typical of post-apocalyptic settings, but there's a layer of rebellion in how it narrates rather than shows. Some might find the pacing a bit slow, but it creates this tension that works in its favor. The performances feel genuine, capturing desperation and curiosity as they dig through the remains of our world. It’s definitely distinctive for how it leans into that scavenger vibe.

RUINS is a bit of a curiosity in the collector's realm, especially due to its unconventional storytelling. Its limited release means that physical copies can be somewhat scarce, making it a talking point among collectors. The film’s unique approach, combined with its found footage style, piques interest, as it stands apart from typical pandemic narratives in cinema.
