you don't! In translation they will look like this:"Black pain, a day of black pain and death" Chernobyl Eng. - Чернобиль ukr.; Chern-Черний - black; Byl- біль - pain .I'm very grateful to the author of the film, he must continue it and film the second part an third. Also I recommend him to make an accent on computer game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." in filming.I want to add that when I was in area which is near Nuclaer station an both cities Chernobyl, Prypyat it is really scary, even if you know that radiation only kill and don't effect mutation. The author really good pass it to spectator For example me . I have refelt the feelings that i'm in red forest again!I strongly recommend this film to everybody!!!

film. If you want explosions and shiny gadgets to tell you that a film is amazing then this is not for you. If you want to feel like you are actually there in the town with them I liked the camera work then you'll like it. Just chill out and enjoy the movie for what it is. Entertainment.

understand, but I feel that those things are what make this movie great. The director wants to give you that 'you're there' and 'this actually happened' feeling, that's why we have the 'shaky' camera. What do you expect when you have Oren Peli as the producer. And just like Paranormal Activity you have that mystery of what it is, what it looks like, and the suspense of when something is going to pop out.There is NO SEX!! Which is awesome, because a lot of the "horror" movies coming out in this time and age have unnecessary sex or nudity, which I think the movies could do fine without. This movie is indeed a good horror movie. I highly recommend that you watch it, just so you can decide yourself if it's good or bad, everybody is biased, I know I am, and I am not a professional critic so I may not know what I'm saying and you most definitely don't have to listen to me.I like good horror movies and had almost given up on American horror movies but Oren Peli strikes again.

part of course, but I remembered him more than the rest. His mannerisms, his comic timing and his manic and hurried speech. It all stood out. When I first saw Paul in this film, I didn't make the connection right away. He looked thinner in here and he was without glasses. But as time went on, he became more and more recognizable and that to me is the sign of a good actor. You remember them even if you don't quite place them perfectly. Here, he is, imo, brilliant. He's the risk taker but the he's also the protective figure as his younger brother comes to see him in Kiev. He exuded a certain confidence to him and I'm glad to see Sadowski getting more work. I think you'll be seeing more of him in the future.Chernobyl Diaries, according to IMDb was filmed in Serbia and Hungary. It's hard to find credible information to indicate whether or not this was actually filmed at Chernobyl. But if it wasn't they did a pretty damned good job of making it look like they did. According to Oren Peli, they filmed in some old Nazi Bunkers in Belgrade, Serbia. But there are exterior shots that look like the site of the infamous reactor. Either way, the location is one of bright spots of the movie. It provides all kinds of creepy atmosphere and tension. The dark, narrow tunnels, the dust and the old abandoned equipment, the aged and bucolic landscapes, it all gets inside your head. While some have complained about generic scares and the fact that you ostensibly know when the shocking parts are coming, that really didn't bother me. A horror movie is effective when you feel for your characters. This wasn't terrifying like The Ring and it wasn't as intense as John Carpenter's Halloween, but it is a film that makes you uneasy and as I said earlier, you fear for the characters. By the end when you know inevitably that it can not turn out good for anyone, I wanted all of them to die quickly, because the alternative was no so pleasant.Sometimes, as they say, death is not the worst thing that can happen to you.9/10

seen a few truly awful movies, badly scripted/acted that people here raved about Insidious 2010 . Sometimes mass opinion can be wrong. Chernobyl Diaries is one of the better horror/scare movies of this year. It doesn't rely on expensive special effects but rather on atmospheric location, good acting and good pacing that prevents boredom setting in. One of the best horror movies for me in 2012.

Let's just say the setting is the most effective component in the movie. The acting however, I would give a D grade for - it just wasn't that good. Apart from that, I don't have any more negatives to say about it. This movie can be compared to 'The blair witch project', 'The descent' and 'The hills have eyes', so if you like any of those movies, I suggest you watch this one. The whole realistic nature of the movie really drew me in too, seeing as the Chernobyl disaster actually happened. So did the events portrayed in 'Silent Hill' - it's a real place. Then there's the ending, to me it was unexpected, but I won't go into too much detail. Just watch it!

theatre with a bag of buttered popcorn.

check a rating before they watch a movie and the 5.0 will most likely deter them and they will miss out. I strongly recommend it to people that want to sit back and have a good scare.

reactions to situations are pretty realistic. I often thought what would have I done differently and I found that not much. You have this sense of realism from the start and it's kept nearly until the end. There are a few jump scares, but those are not the main elements this film relies on, to keep you tense. There aren't any moronic moments, which ruin most horror films with good premise. Also avoids most bad clichés successfully. It's well crafted, I would give the director more money to make an even better film. Really enjoyed it, recommended to horror lovers.
