This horror movie is based on the novel by Scott Smith. Four good-looking young American adults — two gal pals (Jena Malone and Laura Ramsey) and their boyfriends (Jonathan Tucker and Shawn Ashmore) — go for a holiday in Mexico. At their hotel they meet a handsome German (Joe Anderson) and accompany him to some ancient Mayan ruins out in the jungle. There they encounter unfriendly indigenous people and end up trapped at a big stone temple covered with flesh-eating vines. The tourists soon must make decisions about performing surgical procedures.
