Upcoming entry: Nuffnang Premiere Screening – Chernobyl Diaries

Back at 1986 a deadly disaster took place on the surface of this planet. Reactor four of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, Soviet Union (then officially Ukrainian SSR),  suffered a catastrophic power increase, which eventually lead to explosion and fire in its core, released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over Western USSR and Europe. This is until present one of the only two worst nuclear power plant accident in history, which classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster 2011).

31 deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers. UNSCEAR report later in 2008 places the total confirmed deaths from radiation at 64. The Chernobyl Forum estimates that the eventual death toll could reach 4,000 among those exposed to the highest levels of radiation (200,000 emergency workers, 116,000 evacuees and 270,000 residents of the most contaminated areas). The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates there will be 50,000 excess cancer cases resulting in 25,000 excess cancer deaths.

Two decades later, six young tourists hire an extreme tour guide who takes them to an "extreme tour" at the abandoned town Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. During their exploration, they soon discover they are not alone...
