So I went
for Nuffnang Premiere Screening of Chernobyl Diaries @ TGV KLCC yesterday. For those who haven't watch it yet,
here’s the review for your reference.
Basically it
is a standard horror movie with a rather simple story line which kinda lack
of suspense, and the ending is a bit sloppy.
In short
here’s how it goes, six tourists
hire an extreme tour guide who takes them to the abandoned city Pripyat, the
former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, which they were
attack and kill one by one by the unexpected mysterious presence.
All shots
of monsters in the movie are unsteady and jumpy, might be an effort to help
keep the true form in the dark so that the audience's imagination could fill in
the details, still for me the shots are too fast and shallow.
Anyway I
would like to give credit to the movie’s sound effect, despite the fact that
the movie is lack of real moments of tension the timing of boom and shriek still
manage to startle me at some pop out scary moments. The setting of radioactive abandoned wasteland
is genuinely creepy as well, no film has actually explored this area before.
To sum up,
this is a decent horror movie with a few flaws and horror clichés, standard horror
flicks but nothing more. Not bad for a low budget movie.
Rating: 5.9/10
