This movie didn't live up to its potential in almost any way. The only real scares come from things jumping out at you from around the corner. Felt more like a post-apocalyptic experience than a horror movie.
i thought this was pretty goof. thought it was going to be scaryier though. but not bad
I just rented this and I usually don't like stuff by this guy but this really wasn't that bad. It held me for the entire movie. Worth watching but it won't win awards!!
this movie was horrible..it was so dark and the story line was horrible..i laughed at the so called creatures..and i was seriously looking forward to this movie..another flop like every other horror movies these days. can someone one please come out with something orignial i'm so sick of seeing the same wannabe horror films
I had a rather good time watching this. It is the kind of low budget movie you know will get made over and over. Simple idea. Simple execution. Simple to follow. And easy to enjoy. In fact there's not even a need for real name actors of any kind... If you are an independent filmmaker and your uncle has a bag full of money, make this movie. It will work. Guaranteed. I found the script to be well

The problem with Chernobyl Diaries isn't that it's offensive, it's that it's dumb. Full Review

Despite an unlikely setting and a moderately intriguing premise, Chernobyl Diaries proves to be a generic horror flick where young tourists are systematically victimized in unoriginal and not terribly scary ways. Full Review

The novelty of the setting ultimately proves highly effective. Shot mainly in Eastern European locations that effectively stand in for Prypiat, which is now actually a tourist site, the film is highly convincing in its verisimilitude. Full Review

Chernobyl Diaries is afflicted with a fatal flaw that damages many horror films: after a better-than-average setup and a promising first half, everything falls apart. Full Review

There's a nagging question at the heart of Chernobyl Diaries. It isn't what, or who, is stalking these kids. After awhile, the answer becomes apparent, leading to a denouement that, while mildly exciting, feels like a ride you've been on before. Full Review
