Chernobyl Diaries is written by Oren Peli, known for writing the Paranormal Activity series, but this film doesn't deliver. Like the Paranormal Activity's, Chernobyl Diaries does start off a little slow, but it doesn't build much throughout the whole 90 minutes. In this one we get six tourists and a tour guide who go out and explore a town in the Ukraine called Pripyat, which was abandoned in 1986 during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. When our tourists get there they figure out that the town is not abandoned and there are dangerous dogs and bears? Yeah not as exciting as the trailer made it out to be. Even worse, we get our not so great actors screaming the whole first hour, while we get a shaky cam that doesn't allow us to see anything. Even as some of the cast starts getting killed off we don't ever see it happen. Can it get more exciting? Not really. There are no real stars in this movie and that's fine, so you shouldn't have any reason to watch it.
...AND SIMPLY PUT SKIP IT AND JUST PUT IN ONE OF THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY MOVIES INSTEAD. D+
