Yes.
It hurts a lot when you pull vines from inside your leg.   :buggedout:

I thought that the book was much better.  The movie is pretty good for the 1st half but really unravels in the 2nd IMO.

I very much agree.  Although there was some gratuitous gore to keep me mildly interested.

Review: Somewhat fun but frustrating big-screen Sci Fi Channel 'original movie' with lots of gore, squirm-inducing plant action, dirty words, and two (2) breasts.

OK, What I learned:

- Trombone players are hopelessly uncool. Play the oboe instead.

- Never follow a German anywhere.

- American tourist never ever just disappear in backward South American countries.

- Killer plants, whether they are in a low-budget Italian movie or a high profile 
  Hollywood movie, always chitter and giggle like demented chipmunks.

- Paralysis is overrated as an anesthetic.

- Smashing off someone's legs with a rock will probably not do any good anyway, so
  you might as well save your strength.

- If someone is a screaming harpy to begin with how are you supposed to tell if there's
  kudzu growing in them?

- If you're the first to get stabbed while trying to comfort a crazed woman with a knife
  you're self sacrificing and heroic. If you're second in line you're just flat-out stupid.

- Greeks are always late.

- And as Cheezeflixz wisely points out, Round Up is your friend.
