Plot hole: Natalie uses her cell phone to record the injured and bleeding Chris, but it never occurs to her to use the phone to call for help? And how is it possible that in 2012, she seems to be the only one with a cell phone? It is simply not possible that she could not get a signal - the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is festooned with mobile telephone masts - precisely because of the inherent danger of being lost there.

It's the Blair Witch Project plus every other zombie movie combined with scenes of bears, dogs, fish and mutant people against hapless humans looking for a vacay in Pripyat and the husk of Chernobyl. One of several friends suggest this as something different to their lasting regret. Some scary science fiction/horror moments that then go into shlock.
Chris: I swear to God, Paul, it's a fucking hazard having you as a brother.

Suggested correction: Uri said at the beginning of the film that he has never gotten a signal whilst in that area.
Then Uri is wrong, or he is lying for some bizarre reason. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is festooned with mobile antenna masts and if there was one place on earth where you could absolutely guarantee getting a signal, it is there.
