If you could change one thing about the movie, what would it be?

Looking back at it now, this movie was niether the best movie ever nor disastrous, but I felt like it could have been better. I felt like, and I noticed some other people picked up on it as well, that it would have been interesting to have it be like a nature-like thing. Not necessarily like The Happening, but to where the villian was nature because the first half of the movie defenitly gave off the vibe that nature could very well have gotten evil. I mean we all saw a random bear come out of nowhere, plant growth in buildings and all. I tried to hold onto that idea, however when I saw the dogs looked pretty normal, and that made it a wrap. I dunno, I think that would have been something that could have changed.

Kill off the annoying *beep* whose idea it was to go to Pripyat at the start instead of at the end.

Aside from its ridiculously low IMDB rating?
The group staying in the van at night with the lights on. Stupid move.
Other than that, the first 15 minutes or so are the only parts I didn't enjoy, but I suppose they were necessary to get us to know the main characters.
I also disagree with those who claim that a "human vs nature" turn would have made the film better. Nope, that would have been totally predictable and unscary. It's like claiming that The Breed was better than The Descent.

I enjoyed this movie, I gave it an 8/10. The one thing I would have changed in the movie is the very end.

Higher budget, so they could have more action, visible mutants and less cliche jump scares.

I think despite the low-budget it works. If it had been more it might've not been as good.
