I have been aware of this movie for some time but haven't got around to seeing it until now. Part of that is because the previews made it look like a found footage type movie, and I am really tired of those. Good news; it isn't a found footage movie. Bad news; It might as well be as it is a single camera that bounces around all the time and you don't get a clear shot of the monster until the end. The plot is about some extreme tourists that take a tour of Pripyat, Ukraine, the site of the Chernobyl reactor meltdown in 1986. Of course things go wrong and our tourists are stranded there.
The acting isn't all that great, the Australian guy was probably the best out of the bunch. I don't think the writing was all that great either, though. The dialogue between the brothers didn't feel natural. The characters continually make the most idiotic mistakes. There didn't seem to be a payoff of character development, revelation, or redemption.
Take this one or leave it. It isn't very scary and is horribly shot, directed, written, and acted. You can watch it, just don't pay money to do so.

Damn honest of you but you're damn right!
Agreed. I thought it was going to be a found-footage type movie, but it reminded me most of like a SyFy channel B-movie.
Thanks Budd! I'll be passing on this little gem. Too bad...
