Thoroughly enjoyed it, Catherine Deneuve (sp?) was excellent. I agree with NE, you all need to see this film.

Yeah this is a good one. I only saw it recently. Like a few years ago. Very surprising.
Chernobyl Diaries -
I wasn't in a rush to watch this "movie." I only got the chance to see it at a friend's on Cinemax. Ingrid Bolsų Berdal was the only reason I added the movie to my watch list. She was in Cold Prey. Which was pretty good. But the premise of Chernobyl Diaries was predictable to me. Little did I know not only would the movie be predicable but it's not really a "movie" either. It comes off more like a student film or experiment by the director. An "I bet we can make a horror movie here on the cheap" type thing. It's not scary at all. Not in the look or feel. In fact the best horror moments were a scene with an animal and an abandoned fountain area. The only thing this film got right was the casting of the girls. They are all beautiful and fairly interesting. The final girl should get better parts in the future as she had a strong performance.
Additional - Even the premise of this movie is stupid. Only the final girl is smart in not wanting to go originally. If some one told you let's go to a fallout area no one in their right mind would want to go. And I get many people do dumb things when they are young. But survival sense usually kicks in. Yet I guess one day we will see a "let's go swimming near Fukushima movie" eventually. Just because people might just want to see it.
