It’s odd that after the huge success of Paranormal Activity, we haven’t had another movie directed by Oren Peli. However he has been busy producing movies and he came up with the original story for Chernobyl Diaries, although Shane Van Dyke (grandson of Dick) wrote the script and Bradley Parker directs. The film follows a group of six young tourists who, looking to go off the beaten path, hire an “extreme tour” guide. Ignoring warnings, he takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than 25 years ago. After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon finds themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone. No UK date is set, but it’s released in the US on May 25th.
