Rec: Genesis

The thied instalment in the still relatively new REC franchise and it doesn't disappoint. Breaking from the usual first person perspective of the previous films and instead uses a blend of both the first and more traditional third person medium to tell the story.This may put some fans off but this would be a mistake! Dark, funny, and wickedly cool wit scares aplenty this is a well deserved addition to the REC saga and taking a well trodden sub-genre in a brave new direction. So if the bit about it not being first person puts has put you off getting this movie I have only this to say to you, grow up and worship the horror awesomeness that is REC: GENISIS.

As a big fan of the first 2 REC films, I was really looking forward to the third installment. Oh dear Lord its bad!
As part of the Rec series, it has turned a thinking man's horror series into a joke. The connection to the first two films was paper thin with the religous elements of the first 2 almost mocked in this. For some unexplained reason, 20 minutes in, the film switches from the hand held camera format, which made the first 2 films what they were, to normal camera mode. They take the time to establish 3 different camera viewpoints then ditch them all in a few minutes time?
There is no continuity to the film. The infected aren't sure if they're in 28 Days Later or Night of the Living Dead. (Meaning: one second they're running like a Jamaican sprinter the next they're shambling around and can be outrun by an old man with a zimmer frame.) We also have 2 characters walking around dressed in suits of armour and one dressed as Sponge Bob Squarepants (I s**t you not!)
A total disgrace of a film. AVOID
