This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. you basically watch this movie because A)the first two were awesome and B) there is a bride with a chainsaw on the cover. Well it doesnt follow the same style as the first so that is disapointing and there is only one scene involving the chainsaw the movie is a bit of a let down. There isnt much else to recommend about this movie besides that one scene and maybe the ending.....hopefluly they learn from their mistakes. Expand

It's more like a parody. A gory darkly humorous slasher movie with a couple of links with the previous REC movies. To be clear I do like gory movies. I like blood. Bodies being chainsawed in half and brains being splattered over walls. But I was expecting a movie like REC 1 and 2. It started off pretty interesting. It somehow felt relieving being out of that dusty apartment. Cheering people celebrating at a wedding party. Chaotically filmed with a handycam again. You'll love it or you'll hate. I love it. But what I hated was the fact that after about 15 minutes the handy-cam was put down. Right at the moment I got ready for the expected rollercoaster ride. Bam. Bye REC. To me the strength and charm of the previous REC movies was the realism. To me the effect is being destroyed by turning it into a "regular" movie. If only the movie would have had a totally different title and had nothing to do with the previous movies i'd probably like it. But as a REC movie I think it kinda sucks. I didn't mind watching it and I did have a laugh so now and then, but those moments where overwhelmed by opposite reactions. Expand

Se aleja mucho del estilo de las dos primeras películas y en general es completamente descabellada, pero en lo personal eso no me molestó y resultó ser bastante entretenida para mi.

I really cannot understand why the director of the (Rec) series would want to take it's reputation of being one of the few remaining and well respected zombie horror movie series and butcher it with this awful movie. Honestly it's the sameI really cannot understand why the director of the (Rec) series would want to take it's reputation of being one of the few remaining and well respected zombie horror movie series and butcher it with this awful movie. Honestly it's the same quality as a crappy straight to dvd zombie movie. They made so many dumb changes with this entry. It's the first entry to not use the found footage, and whether or not that's a huge flaw will depend on personal preference, I'm personally tired of that now overused style, but would gladly take it back if it will bring the next movie back to it's horror roots. It's not the least bit scary or serious. Zombies in the previous (Rec) movies were extremely fast, in this their slow and clumbsy taking away sense of fear. The movie is also filled with what I believe to be attempts at humor, but are so stupid they wont even make you chuckle. I was frequently thinking to myself "Really? Did they really just put that into this movie?". (Rec) 3: Genesis destroys what was once a good Zombie series. To the other fans out there just skip this and pray the announced 4th movie avoids being anything like this peice of crap. But hey I do jave to give them credit for putting in a decent love story in there, but seriously though still avoid and keep those good memories of (Rec) 1 & 2. Expand

Do not say that the film was one of the best in its triology, but had a lot of things in which I was not happy, as for example, the camera on hand which was replaced by a film common, there is no sense "genesis" because I have not seen anyDo not say that the film was one of the best in its triology, but had a lot of things in which I was not happy, as for example, the camera on hand which was replaced by a film common, there is no sense "genesis" because I have not seen any explanation for a start, the first two movies are better, not just look at this.

Paco Plaza decidió darle un tono mas absurdo y desenfadado a esta tercera entrega y el resultado es bueno y malo a la vez. Malo porque el toque de la primera se pierde y bueno porque consigue ser mucho mas divertida que la segunda.

I loved REC 1 and 2. The first one is one of the great horror movies of the 2000's, and it's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

The first one is one of the great horror movies of the 2000's, and it's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. The sequel is almost as effective as the original and stands as a worthy sequel to a masterpiece in horror. And then there's REC 3. The first two films in the series are found footage, while this drops that format around 15 minutes in. They literally drop it, like someone drops the camera on the ground, and it switches to traditional cinematography. I'll never truly understand why they decided to lose what made the other two films so iconic and terrifying. REC 3 doesn't follow reporter Angela Vidal inside the zombie-infested apartment complex. Instead, it's about a wedding that is ruined when there's a zombie outbreak. There's really not much to this film; it's a pretty generic zombie film. There's nothing truly special about REC 3 that separates it from countless other movies in the genre. Not until the last 30 minutes does it finally get fairly interesting, and it does have a good ending. I can't truly recommend this to anyone unless you're a die-hard zombie fan. Expand

  Very disappointed ... everything that was interesting in the first two here disappeared. They tried to make it more modern ... it feels like a parody.
  Found-footage style was removed (it's used in the beginning but it takes about 10 minutes). They added music, cheap jumpscares.
  In conclusion, this movie is super generic ... they destroyed all the charm.
  SPOILER:
   Part of the movie, the main character wears a medieval armor ...
   One character is dressed in SpongeBob ...
   Jokes while they are attacked ...
