2012 Horror Fest: Chernobyl Diaries: 40 Out Of 100 Stars

Ughh. Another really good set up that relies more on drama rather than horror for it's payoff and just let me down.

A guy, his fiance, and her friend are visiting his brother in Kiev and they join another couple on a tour of the town adjacent to Chernobyl. None of the characters are much more than stock, but the chicks were pretty hot and the build up had me sufficiently excited. Then it starts to rely on tension instead of letting loose the tits and gore and I just didn't care enough about the characters to stay interested.

The "villains" are barely shown even though the previews let us know who they are. So we wait, and wait, and there are chases and running, and some decent gore, but nothing that gripped me in the slightest.

In the end it feels like a PG version of Hostel without any of the ambiance.

A diary with nothing much to say.
