'Chernobyl Diaries' -- Horror Flick RIPPED By Victim Support Group | TMZ.com<br /><br />5/21/2012 1:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />[size=14pt]'CHERNOBYL DIARIES' <br />Horror Flick RIPPED By <br />Victim Support Group[/size]<br /><br />
<br /><br />The new Jesse McCartney horror flick "Chernobyl Diaries" is a slap in the face to <br />the 400,000 victims of the real-life nuclear disaster ... so says a Chernobyl recovery <br />organization. <br /><br />For those unfamiliar with the Chernobyl disaster ... (shame on you if you're one of <br />them) ... scores of people were killed or disfigured when the nuclear power plant <br />exploded in the Ukraine in 1986. <br /><br />
<br /><br />Now, the Friends of Chernobyl Centers U.S. tells TMZ ... it's furious with the plot of <br />the new movie -- in which several people who were mutated in the blast hunt down <br />unwitting tourists. <br /><br />"It is terrible that such a tragic event as Chernobyl is being sensationalized in a <br />Hollywood horror film," a rep for the org tells us. <br /><br />"Thousands of people have died and over 400,000 people were evacuated from their <br />homes. Today over 5 million people still live on contaminated land. The horror is not <br />mutants running around, the real horror is the effect that Chernobyl continues to have <br />on the lives of millions who have been devastated physically, emotionally and <br />economically."<br /><br />The rep adds, " If you feel compelled to go see this movie, take the adrenalin you get <br />from the horror to go do something good and make a difference in the lives of those still <br />living with Chernobyl every day."<br />
