Rules of Ruin

About This Movie

So, 'Rules of Ruin' is an intriguing piece that dives deep into the psychological toll of desperation. Minerva, a single mother, is just trying to keep her sick daughter alive. The pacing is deliberately slow, building tension as the plot unfolds around the ancient book she’s tasked to translate. The atmosphere? It's thick with dread, almost suffocating at times, and that really adds to its horror aspects. The performances are solid, especially how Minerva’s character evolves with each revelation. The practical effects, though not overused, bring an unsettling realism to the horror elements. It's a distinct blend of personal struggle and supernatural horror that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
