What happens

Chernobyl Diaries is a 2012 American horror film co-written and produced by Oren Peli, and directed by Brad Parker, in his directorial debut. It stars Jonathan Sadowski, Jesse McCartney, Devin Kelley, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Nathan Phillips, and Dimitri Diatchenko as a group of people who tour the abandoned Ukraine town of Pripyat, which was impacted by the Chernobyl disaster, and end up discovering a dangerous threat lurking. The film was shot on location, as well as in Hungary, and Serbia. Chernobyl Diaries was theatrically released on May 25, 2012, by Alcon Entertainment through Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and audience for its clichéd formula, characters, and special effects; some controversy was aimed towards the depiction of victims of the disaster. Despite this, it was a moderate box office success, grossing $37 million worldwide with a budget of $1 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
