A subpar horror
The story about Chernobyl is a rather terrifying and hauntingly true story, and having been there in person it is definitely a chilling and atmospheric place to visit. Sadly this film completely misses the point and meaning behind the story.

It is just your generic horror film. Terrible acting with a dull plot with pathetic jump scares. Characters making ridiculous nonsensical decisions that only make sense in a crappy horror. Some bad cinematography featuring scenes that are so dark you can’t see what’s going on, and I’m not convinced about how realistic their version of the location is - at one point the characters seem to make it from the Ferris wheel in Pripyat to the power plant (which is around 2 miles away) in no time whatsoever. A completely ridiculous film that squanders such a fascinating and horrifying true story.
