Criticism
" Oren Peli, who landed a low-budget hit with Paranormal Activity and a thriving franchise can be nudged to experience in his new production tourists the bare Horror in Chernobyl. Again, he relies on the raw found-footage look and a young, unused team before and behind the camera and relies on shock effects and threatening atmosphere. "
" Fantastic atmosphere in a radioactive ghost town. That brings the film in the first half enthralling over, in the second half but guzzles the story in black from. "
