Chernobyl Diaries

Directed by: Bradley Parker


Starring: Jesse McCartney, Jonathan Sadowski, Olivia Dudley (SO NOBODY!!!!)


Plot: Six tourists (4 American - SHOCK) hire a sketchy tour guide (SHOCK) who takes them to the abandoned city Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor (ORIGINAL). During their exploration, they soon discover they are not alone (SHOCKER). 


WARNING: IF YOU LIKED THIS FILM THEN DO NOT READ THIS AS THE FOLLOWING SLAGS THIS FILM OFF COMPLETELY!!!!


This film bought me to the cinema on the originality on where it was set and surrounding the Chernobyl disaster. I was interested in that a film to my knowledge has never been based there before and the whole idea of it seemed like the perfect location for an eerie horror film. It was very disappointing. It was full of predictable scenes, awful acting and no actual scares. It ruined the interest I had for it and I just thought that there was so much potential with the Chernobyl disaster but let it down completely. Hopefully one day the idea of it will be revisited with an original story line, good actors and a film that actually maintains interest. 


I am sorry that this review is very short but there is not much to write about. I would not advise to pay to watch this film but if you choose to illegally download it then it's up to you (Still debatable if it is worth it or not) . I would advise to anyone who is interested in making a film based on the Chernobyl disaster to watch this film only so they know what not to do.



The Good: Location of the film
The Bad: How predictable it is
The Ugly: Everything


Rating: 0.5*
