Trivia
A few characters remark on how nature has reclaimed Pripyat. In fact, nature has adapted so well to the site that in 1991 researchers found a type of fungus growing in Chernobyl that metabolizes radiation for energy, in much the same way that plants use sunlight. Scientists are using the International Space Station to investigate whether these sorts of fungi can function as a sort of radiation shield in space.

Goofs
The soldiers told the group Pripyat was closed for maintenance, which the group took to mean they would have the place to themselves, but which more logically would mean they'd be caught by maintenance workers. And when they heard noises they thought might be other people--both in the housing buildings and outside the van, they never suspected it might be the fabled maintenance workers.

Quotes
Chris: I swear to God, Paul, it's a fucking hazard having you as a brother.

Not as horrible as everyone's saying

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.
