It strays too much into the sinister europeans and evil russians stereotypes that some american movies fall into when dealing with some place not american. Hostel skirted it by having an icelandic character feature quite centrally, but here in chernobyl diaries the general assumption is that the russians are pretty much either crooked or incompetent.
That said I didn't find chernobyl diaries terrible, it looks fantastic on blu-ray and the last 30 minutes are good solid horror territory, but there are no diaries and I found myself wanting to watch STALKER (the russian one!) instead.
My advice, don't pay too much for it but give it a try.
