Without the benefit of a script or any filmmaking knowledge, I could have grabbed 3 random stranger's and an iPhone and made a better movie.
At its core, this was essentially another "found footage" movie about a group of friends who wander into the woods and run afoul of ghosts. In this case, through a series of bad choices they've wind up in the abandoned city of Pripyat, where they encounter a predictable combination of ghosts and predictable jump scares.
The writers but absolutely no thought into the script and it shows throughout. For example, "Kate" tells her bf she's pregnant and 5 min later she's chugging bourbon... This was bad bad bad...in fact, it would have to get better just to be "bad". I despise this movie and it makes me wish I'd made different choices in life...
