Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
xvoltaire Look, if you're going to use a setting as iconic and well documented as Pripyat or Chernobyl, you need to get your facts straight. I understand that this was a low budget horror flick, but if you can't even get the iconic ferris wheel right, maybe you should rethink what you're doing. Also, a basic understanding of the effects of radiation on the human body leaves the ending laughably impossible. Pile on that the myriad photos of reactor 4 entombed in its sarcophagus and I spent the last 20 minutes just waiting for it all to be over. There's just no way those folks would have gotten into that reactor. If you want an atmospheric horror flick that uses the premise of murderous mutants stalking around an irradiated, abandoned town done well, do yourself a favor and watch John Carpenter's The Hills Have Eyes.
cameronklein-44312 Contrary to all the terrible reviews on this movie, I decided to watch it and boy was I suprised. I had never heard of any of the actors but they all did a very good job portraying beliveable relatable characters. I also found the way they portray the "danger" in this movie to be quite suspecful, they dont show the real threat much so it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This movie has a few cheap jumpscares but other than that it is a quite fun horror movie. Highly recommended.
carlodegraaff The premise of the movie is no different the movies The Hills have Eyes and The Hills have Eyes 2. People that are living in an area contaminated by radiation. Find people in there area. Abduct them at night. Kill some for food. And maybe even use the women for reproduction. Non affected Russians/Ukraine's know of the people and cover up their being at Chernobyl and any survivors are then thrown to them to get rid of evidence.A Very close plot to the Hills Have Eyes but at Chernobyl. I feel could have been better by showing the animals also have mutated. None of the animals seemed to have been affected by the radiation but the humans/fish have.
rebekahhodder I have seen this movie like a thousand times and I still never get sick of it. It is by far my favourite movie. It's not like the other typical horror movies with the annoying background music when there's suspense. This movie is nice and realistic, no over the top background horror music, the camera movements are awesome. The actors are amazing and not too well known but I love everything about it. I didn't really know about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster but after watching this movie I was so interested I decided to search up the actual thing. I'm still trying to find a movie similar to Chernobyl Diaires it's so hard but I don't think I'll be over this movie anytime soon. Love It. Be awesome if they made a part 2 or something rather.
