Chernobyl Diaries (Bradley Parker, 2012)

Hot on the heels of The Darkest Hour, another batch of young Americans head for the slaughter in the spooky former Soviet Union, the outcome this time somewhat more predictable as they will insist on sneaking into Chernobyl where there be mutants, of course. Oren Peli, the director of the thoroughly meh Paranormal Activity, is behind the script, but one of the mutants or indeed main characters would also have had sufficient brain activity for the task. It all ends in screamy tears and only the eerily decayed Hungarian and Serbian locations chosen to double for the disaster site stand out.
