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.

I was dragged into this from pretty early on. The connection between the four friends was amazing. They'd been through so much together. I'm definitely intrigued about reading the rest of their stories though I think since the series is all m/m romances that some shit is going to go down in the next books.

I loved the sexual tension between our boys in this. It was pretty scorching and when they finally gave into it, the romantic aspect of their relationship was so nice. I think they'd have died to save each other in the end.

One thing I did love was that the romance wasn't the main focus. These guys are badarse mofo's and kicked butt in a few scenes. The other part of the storyline when Lucas gets beat up over an investment was rather intriguing. Who was behind it and all that.

Definitely up for reading the rest of the series. Ashton/Snow's story next.
