Review of Chernobyl Diaries (2012) by Alauna O — 03 Nov 2012

Am not sure why this film has had poor reviews, it's a brilliant original film, film of the year for me so far. The film though is maybe slightly insensitive to the victims of the Chernobyl disaster.

The idea is an interesting one, a group of Americans on a guided tour travel to a city in Chernobyl which was abandoned 25 years ago due to a real life Nuclear Disaster. Its just safe enough to go back in to look around and take some pictures, what they have not banked on is mutants caused by the Disaster have escaped from an onsite Military hospital and go on the rampage after the Americans who are stranded their due to their transport being sabotaged and their tour guide being eaten.

It really is a classic this, the ending is doomed and brilliant, a great modern horror film which is full of horror and suspense.
