Always Tease Never Please

Also. Jenna Malone has vines crawling through her face at the end as she's driving to safety, at least in the unrated version, so rest assured.... the most selfish character of the movie gets hers eventually... hopefully.

Hilarious, but...

"the smart male"? Um... did you watch the same would be doctor I did?

"I haven't seen Linda in a while..." -RO
"I want him so bad..." -SM
"How did you know this!"

haha good ones!

All the people involved seems to retarded to be this old, if all their decisions were this stupid whole their life they shouldn't see their 10th birthday, especially the medchool guy and his girlfriend. When the rope was breaking he should have either lowered the guy as mutch as possible to soften the fall or screamed for help so the others would help him to hold the crank while he grabbed the piece that was breaking.It's like swimming 3km and when you feel you can't make it the last 100 meters you turn back.

And the girlfriend with the camera? it doesn't matter you don't understand the language, when people are aiming a gun at you, you don't try to take their picture, no matter how interesting they look. I know it's not why they killed the greek however the stupid girl tried to get them all in the same frame and that's why she stepped in it. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't try to take their picture.

I was angry over every decision they made. Especially when they knew that they were quarantanied and how dangerous this was. It takes mutch to kill their own child so they should have understod by then they couldn't leave. If they would leave they would endanger the whole world. And the medstudent used the other girls sick blood to fool the Mayans, he should have known that it wasn't safe, if she wasn't infected by then then she would be after he had rubbed all the sick blood in her face.

I am not sure if they have a 911 number in Mexico, in sweden we have the number 112, and this number works no matter if your operator has coverage in the area. The emergency number is connected trough the operator with the best coverage at the time. It doesn't matter if the phone is locked with a code or if the phone even has a card in it, you can always call 112 and the phone call is free of charge. It is really easy to call 112 no matter if your display is broken and the key lock is on, you just dial 1..1..2 and yes. I am not sure if this is like this in Mexico to but if it is they could have dialed 911 the whole time. Obviously it would be better if some scientist would have quarantained the area then some Mayan Indians, they would atleast put up some signs in several languages so people wouldn't go there by mistake, and they could pour acid or something on the plant from a helicopter so they would kill it.

This plant didn't grow over night so the Mayans must have kept this as a secret for generations. They said animals were afraid of it however they couldn't be sure if a fly or ant or other smal insects would touch it and survive contaminating other animals and people. Al animals aren't that clever that they stay away so there would be a risk keeping this for themselves.

However this is a movie and it shouldn't be so logical, it wouldn't fit the plot if they made it logical. Making this movie they knew who would die and who would survive and they wanted to get them there in an interesting way. They took some shortcuts because it's 1 an 1/2 Hour movie, so the people needed to be imbecills to make all those mistakes one after another, 90% of us would make almost everything differently, the characters needed to get hurt fast and the way they got hurt was the easyest way to do it, it was a shortcut. It is rather hard to hurt the people badly in such a short time without intruducing the plant mutch sooner. So the people needed to be morons so this pace could be possible. It's ok it's only a movie, it won't get any Oscar but we can feel clever since we wouldn't do the same mistakes. If the characters were smarter we wouldn't se them cutting of Mathias legs or even getting in this situation in the firs place. They would learn more about this place before going there and even finding a guide who knew the native language.

The last thing I want to write is the fact that if people in this movie were smarter nothing of this would have happened. It would be a movie about som militarys that are killing the prehistoric plant and that wouldn't be this interesting. They didn't need to scare us that one of the morons were a medstudent. Seing him in action scared me for the whole profession, if medstudents are this dumb the doctors must be aswell....

"-Salt , guns , arrows and even a horse , havent this people ever heard of a FENCE ???" - LOL! And I also thought the word "no" was universal as well as the old "skull/crossbones" type of sign! Maybe they thought of the tourists as tending to the plants, making sure they're fed, etc?

- Her name...is AMY!! It's screamed/said exasperatingly about 100 times throughout the movie.

- If the first operation didn't get it all out (whether cancer, infection, or a PLANT), keep trying. Maybe the third or fourth deep cut will yield better results.

- Heights cause epidemic tinnitus, hallucinations, paranoia, and psychosis in groups of the massively ignorant...but they'll think it's PLANTS doing it all.

209) Get a unique ringtone so deadly vines can't mimic it.

210) If your upset because you and your bf are about to be thousands of miles away, make things better by making out with another guy!

211) If you see a weird plant making a noise like a cell phone, touch it with your bare hands!

212) Never throw plants at young children.

213) If you're a med student, your automatically in charge of everything!

214) 4 Americans on a vaction just don't disappear - they get eaten by deadly plants!
