THE RUINS (R) Four young tourists wander away from American-friendly Cancun and into a terrifying bloodbath.
SHELTER Three stars (R) Writer/director Jonah Markowitz bathes this tale of love and surfing in luscious, "golden hour" light. Conflicted, artistic Zach (Trevor Wright) struggles to hold his family together by forfeiting his own dreams, until he unexpectedly finds strength in the arms of his best friend's older brother. Shelter touches on themes of class and commitment, but the palpable chemistry between the film's leads makes this otherwise sweet summer romance compelling. — Allison C. Keene
