"The Chernobyl Diaries"

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) -

Rated R

1 hour 45 minutes

When planning your summer vacation, you probably won't find a more stressful getaway than Russia's nuclear meltdown city of Chernobyl. But as a thrill seekers paradise, "The Chernobyl Diaries" lets you down with too few thrills and chills.

Our adventurous young world travelers should have followed their misgivings about visiting this toxic tourist trap.

Aside from being the world's worst tour guide, Yuri the one man travel agency from hell forgot to mention the Chernobyl nightlife consists entirely of trying to survive the unseen terror which pretty much keeps to itself.

His tourists might as well have taken their death wish to Camp Crystal Lake in "Friday the Thirteenth", For all the good this extreme vacations' going to do them. You the audience couldn't care less about what happens to the actors that one one's even heard of.

By the way the Producers obviously saved money on monster effects by never showing us any radiated mutants. Save your money by skipping "The Chernobyl Diaries", the thriller meter registers only 2 stars.

It's scary the way this disappointing rubbish promises so much more than it actually delivers.
