Product Description
Spanish horror sequel in which another outbreak of a deadly infectious virus strikes an unsuspecting group of civilians. It is Koldo (Diego Martin) and Clara (Leticia Dolera)'s wedding day. Everything goes well, with the happy couple revelling in their special day, until an elderly guest who had complained of being bitten by a dog earlier in the day keels over and appears to be dead. However, subsequent events reveal that a fate far worse than death has struck the guest when he awakes and savagely bites his wife, triggering a further outbreak of the rabies-like infection among the wedding party. Amidst the chaos that ensues, Clara and Koldo become separated from one another. Can they find each other and make their escape before one of them becomes infected with the horrifying virus spreading like wildfire through the group?

I've literally just switched off Rec 3: Genesis. I didn't see how it ended as I couldn't put up with another second. Basically they've changed a previously successful "serious" horror series into a cheesy horror with comical elements and OTT cinematic style and dramatic music rather than the realistic found footage style of the first two films. I simply can't believe what I've just witnessed and if anyone had told me what to expect I would have laughed it off as some sort of wind up. People camping it up in suits of armour while zombies are on the loose nearby - yeah good one, like they'd put junk like that in a serious horror franchise...
REC, particularly the original, provided a fresh injection of quality to the zombie horror sub-genre. This film makes a mockery of that, and it's unfortunate that the fans who bought the first two films are the ones who, like myself, are suckered into buying this without really knowing what they're letting themselves in for. I purposefully avoided knowing too much about Rec 3 to avoid spoilers so this has come as a massive shock to me.
If you loved REC and / or REC 2 then JUST AVOID THIS MOVIE!!!

Rec and Rec 2 were two of the best horror movies EVER - in my opinion, of course.
This piece of garbage is an insult to the first two movies.
It made me want to jab sharpened pencils into my own eyes.
I'd like to write more of a review but this was such a piece of garbage that the words do not exist yet to describe just how awful this movie is.

In a word SHOCKING. I loved the first 2 rec's and I waited for this so keenly.
Its almost as if the directors and writers wanted to ruin the legacy of the franchise. Corny Lines and ridiculous 'action' sequences. This films ignores all the aspects that made the first and second films classics. The religous elements were almost mocked in this, I wont go into deatils becasue if you were a fan of the series you will watch it anyway.
I personally would have scored this a zero if i could, most disappointting film i've seen this year.
It went from being a fantastic foreign language horror to being almost a spoof of the first 2.
I will not be watching the 4th if this is anything to go by.

Blood, action, comedy and a bride!
