People are scarier than anything

It is another documentary horror film. Since the DV mode monster film became popular, the directors of horror films have become obsessed with young people who are shooting around with DV. The overall is quite satisfactory, happy time, and risky. Decided, and finally all disappeared.
The technique is so traditional that I can't even find the bright spot, everything is expected. The Chernobyl accident, the surrounding towns radiated instantaneously, residents were isolated for testing, and occasional adventurers were fooled by unscrupulous guides, and finally paid the price for curiosity. The only thing that makes people wonder why in the end the laboratory doctors could not raise the last woman who survived, at least they can see the reaction after being exposed to radiation. This is a good teaching material, or they can kill her directly. It's a human being, why didn't she send her to a group of zombies without any kind of pity, and it is estimated that she would be eaten in the end.
Are those patients? How did these irradiated residents survive? It's the same meat, why can't you feed something else?
If you think deeper, it seems logical that the one who was sent as zombies was an American. No matter whether these zombies can be transformed into a human category, at least they were once native Russians. Maybe I think too much. But I always feel that it still has a little political flavor.
After watching the whole film, I still felt a little bit of fear, not for the zombies or the film itself. It is the fear of unfamiliar creatures, the hostility between nations extends to casual fear of the lives of other nations' citizens, and no one knows whether the government hides the facts or whether secret experiments really exist. In fact, where are there any zombies, those who were once humans and caused nuclear accidents in disregard of human lives are also humans. It is humans who take tourists to risk for their own benefit. Those who feed humans as food to experimental organisms are also humans. Time is more kind than anything, but more time is more terrible than anything.
In conclusion, Chernobyl is like Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is a devastating disaster caused by human abuse of nuclear weapons. If there is no blood in this film, but only an empty city like a wax museum, Maybe the psychological shock to people will be greater, of course, that would not be a commercial horror film but a documentary, hehe :)

    The so-called horror movie that can be ignored directly. Considering that Ukraine recently announced that Chernobyl is suitable for human habitation, such subjects will always stay in the YY of good people... (By the way, real estate speculators can go there, there is huge room for appreciation)

    Nowadays, horror movies can't be filmed without a fake record. And the horror here is that you know what it is just by looking at the title, so there is no suspense at all.
