Chernobyl - Sinta a Radiação

The set up of going to an abandoned city was cool and up until the CGI bear appearing the film was at least engaging. But in the end this film is a collection of cliches, tropes and jump scares all trying to hide the script's emptiness. A bad horror film would have been more entertaining than this flavorless offering.

Interesting premise that starts really well with a sort of fly on the wall docudrama feel but steadily declines into sub prime territory.

Six American/Australian tourists on the 'Grand Tour" find themselves in Kiev and go on an extreme tourism trip to Chernobyl and of course it all goes wrong.

The initial set up is creepy and highly credible but when the horror starts the credibility goes out the window.

Each and every horror trope gets an outing and every bad decision (i.e. don't go into the basement) plays out, one by one.

The end result is a bit of a shambles. Disappointing.

This movie honestly isn't as bad as everyone's rating it. Sure, it had some predictable scenes and bad acting, but this isn't supposed to be a serious movie. If you going to see it with the mindset of it being deep and intellectual, you are more than likely not going to enjoy it. It uses tension to scare you more than anything else. Not very much gore and violence. It's worth seeing, despite everyone's reviews. I didn't know what was going to happen next for the majority of the movie. If you have to choose between this and "Cabin In The Woods" you should definitely see cabin. This, however, is worth seeing as well. I hope people who go to see this won't be expecting a intriguing movie with a deep story, and just go for the sheer excitement of the film.

This COULD have been a great film. The idea behind it and the setting builds tension and the first half of the film isn't bad. The second half lets it down. Poor cinematography means half the time you have no clue whats going on. Many of the shots are just to dark to be able to see around the characters leading to confusion as to what exactly is going on. The ending is also half done. It was like the writers just shoved it in there as an extra with no thought.

Its sad because its well acted and has some good startle scares unfortunately most of these are in the trailer.

Wait for the DVD,

It was one of the horror movies with a negative ending, horror scenes were not so qualified nor had a good visibility, but horror scenes especially wild dogs were effective enough to be expected in a horror movie.

Illogical behaviors both at the beginning and inside of this adventure causes every participant's death and turns that journey into several attempts to escape from fatal zone, an escape from a danger caused by wild creatures or wild people and an escape from a deadly extremely dangerous radioactive zone. It made no sense all that wrong preferences of characters, anyone would go away to bring aid, but they preferred searching another characters and they could only find their dead bodies and suffered from another dangers, incidents, and eventually the last two characters were killed by officials.

It would be extremely frustrating and terrifying to know that it would be impossible to get away from that hell, and survive. Negative ending made this movie more effective and maybe more unforgettable. I think, it was a bit better horror movie than an average movie in that type and it should have been evaluated with 6 0r 7 points out of 10, I personally gave 7 points, and I think it deserves that.
