‘Paranormal Activity’ creator Oren Peli’s horror march continues this coming May when Warner Bros unleashes new horror thriller ‘Chernobyl Diaries’ into theatres. They’ve just revealed a new 60 second promotional spot entitled ‘Meltdown’ which features a lot of quick cuts and is more a condensed version of the original trailer, with a few new snippets of footage, but does manage to come across as a new blend between ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ and ‘The Hills Have Eyes’. Bradley Parker directs from a screenplay by Peli and the R rated ‘Chernobyl Diaries’ stars Jonathan Sadowski, Devin Kelley, Jesse McCartney, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Nathan Phillips, Ingrid Bolso Berdal and Dimitri Diatchenko. Check out the new spot below.
“Chernobyl Diaries 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 find themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone.”
‘Chernobyl Diaries’ opens on 25 May in the US and here in the UK from 22 June.
