Why did they have to ruin an awesome series? They completely moved away from their intense and dark setup in attempt to bring everything to a larger scale. Which not always is the best thing to do, as we can clearly see here, this movie was a complete abomination of the first 2 movies and the story line in general, very disappointing.In this film, on the contrary to its prequels we can see a bunch of boring horror film clichés, everything is blatant and predictable. No tension whatsoever, absolutely 0 tension or suspense. The beginning was extremely boring as you could easily see what is going to happen in brief moments. The cast was horrible too, no likable characters, everybody seemed so dumb and ignorant to the situation, even the main characters. The creators also tried to introduce new mechanics of the possessed people for some reason and it looked as if the virus does not get transfered via blood or saliva anymore? Why is that? What annoyed me the most was the decision of putting romantic music in between supposedly intense scenes and fights, what is all of that about? Did they want to turn this series into a romantic comedy? Because that completely ruined the watching experience, how can you feel thrilled or scared if in the middle of a fight for their lives romantic cliché tunes start blasting?I am in total shock they decided to make a turn like this in the series, one of the worst ways to destroy an awesome franchise REC was known to be. If you are a fan of the first 2 movies, you will be much better off saving your memories of the first films and imagining the series ended there, that way you will only remember the good, thrilling moments REC had to offer.

First i have to say that i had a lot of fun watching the first two REC movies. Those are real horror movies and very well made. That third one tried to be a prequel and just failed miserably. In The entire movie i felt like watching some trashy generic zombie film with forced jokes and not scary at all! I mean, the first two REcs were breathtaking with lots of jump scares and very good acting.This movie has nothing to do with them, since there are 0 jump scares, cringeworthy terrible acting and a storyline that is boring as hell. Come on, praying is the answer for the zombie apocalypse?? Nevertheless, the focus of the movie was in the love of both main characters who were getting married. There is zero connection between the actors and the love you forever, babe ending was just... AAH! The goddamn bride suddenly embodies goddamn Leatherfce and gets crazy with the chainsaw, but when she sees her beloved husband suddenly gets retarded and is bitten by the deaf grandpa who is older than Trump and Hillary combined. The only possible positive point of REC 3 is that if this was a movie without the REC name in it, 1 or 2 times its kinda funny, because of Jack esponja, the only worthy character in the movie! So because of that i would give 1 and a half stars.

First of all let me tell you that I get that some people don't like this one and that they are disappointed about the third movie in the "Rec" series. I totally get it in case you were expecting a same kind of movie as the first two. I also thought the first two were way better. Nevertheless I am still rating the third one as a good movie. Totally different maybe, but still an entertaining zombie movie with some great slashing moments. And that's what it is all about when I am watching an zombie/horror movie. Compared to other movies in this genre this one certainly stands out. Okay the story might be a bit lame but are most of the zombie movies not like that? And all the actors were good also, so I can't subtract any points for bad acting. I think it deserves more points for a movie in his genre. But again I get it if you were expecting a continuing story after Rec 1 and Rec 2 then you're going to be disappointed...

I cannot understand the reviews above. Rec3Genesis appeared on Film 4 here and i simply bust a gut laughing all through which was the idea. I've seen the films of Iglesias and this in the same frantic mold! I wont go into details but i simply love it!!! For me it was perfect! Funniest parody of all the zombie movies I've ever seen. Not Rodriguez, Tarantino could come close to this! The one scene where the priest has taken over the broadcast system And is reciting Genesis which stops the mad zombies in their tracks while our heroes the happy couple escape but are wasted by his Grandfather also a zombie who being deaf and having lost the batteries of his hearing aid could not hear the sermon and so his blood lust raged on unabated!! Fabuloso, loads of tongues being bitten out, extreme blood letting super fun! First time iv'e seen Plazas work (i'd rather call it extreme play!) So...I guess i will have to find the first two of the Rec series? Oh, gimme me more of these please!
