“Interesting premise that starts really well with a sort of fly on the wall docudrama feel but steadily declines into sub prime territory. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSix American/Australian tourists on the u0026#39;Grand Touru0026quot; find themselves in Kiev and go on an extreme tourism trip to Chernobyl and of course it all goes wrong. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe initial set up is creepy and highly credible but when the horror starts the credibility goes out the window.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEach and every horror trope gets an outing and every bad decision (i.e. donu0026#39;t go into the basement) plays out, one by one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe end result is a bit of a shambles. Disappointing.”
