31 on 31 for Halloween Day 10: Ruin Me

Ruin Me was brought to my attention as being a Shudder Exclusive. It is a film that made me think while also being very enjoyable.

It centers around “Alexandra reluctantly tags along for Slasher Sleepout, an extreme event that is part camping trip, part haunted house, and part escape room. But when the fun turns deadly, Alex has to play the game if she wants to make it out alive.”

The characters in the film are all enjoyable. There may have been one or two that were rough around the edges, but ultimately good. Though it was hard for me to necessarily find one character that gravitated towards more. Everyone gets even coverage. Ultimately it is Alex’s journey.

I found myself enjoying the fact that we are thrown into events through Alex’s perspective. As the film moves along it’s pace, we even begin to question things as Alex does.

While some may be saddened that it is not a complete gorefest, this is a different kind of horror. This is more psychological. And that is one of its greatest strengths.

I don’t wish to spoil the film for those wishing to see it. But I strongly suggest giving it a shot, as it did not disappoint.

The ending was a solid ending and ends on a very strong point.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Ruin Me is available from Shudder.
