Rec 3 Genesis (2012) 7/10

Starring : Leticia Dolera, Diego Martin, Ismael Martinez
Director : Paco Plaza
Running Time : 78 mins

At the wedding of Clara (Dolera) and Koldo (Martin), Koldo’s uncle falls sick after being bitten by a dog at the vet. Everything is fine at first, but when he falls off a balcony and then bites his wife, the guests all start to become infected and start attacking and killing one another.

This movie doesn’t explain as much as it claims to, other than pointing out that the people are possessed by demons and are not zombies, but this was mentioned in Rec 2. The move away from found footage – about twenty minutes in – was an interesting choice, but may also show a lack of imagination in the writers who couldn’t find a way to follow both the bride and groom without using two cameras throughout the film, and it also would have meant that the bride couldn’t have been on her own as much as she was. Still, this is an interesting addition to the series, and I look forward to seeing Rec 4.
