Chernobyl Diaries

 

Chernobyl Diaries is an American horror film in 2012, Chernobyl Diaries was not screened for critics, but has received negative reviews.

“Chernobyl Diaries” is actually its best when nobody is talking. When they first arrive in the abandoned city of Pripyat, it’s completely silent. The dilapidated buildings, remaining carnival equipment, and the sound of nothing is the movie at its strongest. Unfortunately these moments never last long as somebody always has to chime in with something sarcastic or completely obvious like, “I thought you said this place was deserted!” Serves you right for thinking, “extreme tourism,” sounded like a good idea.
