Chernobyl Diaries

I'm 42 and that might have been the worst movie I've seen in my life. To give this a positive reviews makes me believe you should take up a new profession or at least ask how someone hired you. Everyone leaving the theater was like, "really? that was it?"

I liked the movie. I hated the ending. That ending was worse than the ending of The Village...

Agree 100% with the "worst movie I've seen in my life" statement! Let's kill off all the beautiful, but incredibly stupid characters by off screen and unseen "monsters." Than, with another logic defying and nonsense act, have Russian military "rescue" the one "survivor," transport her to some kind of medical facility and than have doctors throw her into a room full of the Chernobyl zombie mutants to be killed? Wow! Makes no plot sense. But, what makes even less sense, why make this movie at all? A complete waste of time and money to film goers! As one critic warns, the movie is radioactive and should be avoided at all costs!

I agree, Brian. I watched this movie at the drive-in as a second billing behind Prometheus and I felt that my eyes and ears were being teabagged. Last years The Smurfs was more menacing than this horseshit.
It's official, people. Save your money. Register for a grant. Purchase one or two cameras. Grab your friends. Fuck screenwriting. Fuck production value. Make a movie! You never know! If Chernobyl Diaries teaches anything, it teaches that almost literally ANYONE can make a movie. Get busy, guys.

Then you must not have seen very many movies, also how would yall wanted it to end, either everyone but 1 dies or they all die? Both are cliched yes, but having them all die is less. If you want to see a bad ending, look only to the Devil inside.

@ Taylor B. You miss the point. It's not that the ending is cliche, and predictable. It is. It's that the entire movie lacks the elements that make for a good or at least "passable" horror movie. There really are no "frights" for the film goer, just a sterile quality and a repetitive and boring "killing off" (all done off screen) of each of the dim witted characters. The real disappointment was that Chernobyl Diaries "could" have been a decent horror film - great premise and location. But it was all "wasted" by a nearly non-existence plot and enough story holes and logic gaps to turn off audiences within the first 30 minutes. BTW, there have been MUCH better done "zombie-kind" of films. Several that come to mind: Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, Zombieland, and AMC's series The Walking Dead. I'll take any of those films / series over Chernobyl Diaries any day!

This was the worst "horror" film I have seen! Predictable plot that relied on cheap and "done a thousand times before" scenes - foggy van windows, flashlight illuminated areas, shaky camera work, etc. Couple that with a cheaply rendered CGA bear and characters that viewers could care less about, made for a terrible movie experience. It's been a while since I've gone to the movies and felt like I got totally ripped off by a substandard film - but Chernobal Diaries managed to do that to me! Save your money! I would not even pay for a DVD rental. It's that bad!

By all means, go and waste your money on this "film." At least, you have been warned and have no one to blame but yourself? I'm thankful I only spent $6.00 on a matinee. Twenty minutes into Chernobyl Diaries I was looking at my watch and about halfway through it, I was getting motion sickness from the jerky camera work.
