So a group of friends decide to take a tour of the city that was home to the workers of Chernobyl. They think it'll be cool to see the abandoned city, and their tour guide (who seems just a tiny bit shady) assures them that it's perfectly fine and safe to go to the city. They get to their destination after the obligatory opening scenes of the friends and the other couple who are also taking the tour, bonding and having a great time.
All is fine until it gets dark, and then all of the tour guide's assurances suddenly mean squat. There are wild animals-and something else?-running around at night, and once they meet up with them, it goes downhill from there... but in a good way. But really, what did they think would happen? I personally wouldn't go somewhere after I've been told "we won't be there long enough to be affected by the radiation." Yikes.
I felt like the buildup was good (I wasn't bored), and there were some jumpy moments. It was also educational; I learned that you should never go inside a nuclear reactor. I thought the ending was a little disappointing, but I wasn't completely pissed off (like at the end of Wicker Man or The Number 23 - yes, I'm still bitter about that). All in all, a fun ride.
