![[REC] 3: Genesis](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/sash/4FyxwxECzL-U1J8.png)
I actually have seen the first two movies of REC and I absolutely love them. I saw so many bad reviews for this but I didn't care, and now I think I should have lowered my expectations. I am a huge fan of the movies but I have to confess this one was a huge disappointment.
At first the introduction was taking way too long with the characters, but we still manage to get at least 50 minutes of zombie/possessed people attacks. But it wasn't scary at all, I don't know if the directors lost their touch or was it the different camera style they used now, but all I know it's that it lacks horror. Yes the fighting sequences were intense and somewhat thrilling, but here's what went even more wrong with the film. There was no plot, while the previous films did give a good story, this one was just lacking a lot. Everything we see in the film we already know because of the previous films, and it relies way too much on that. We don't discover the origins of the Medeiros Girl, we don't know the origin of the infection. And even though it was not meant to be a prequel nor a sequel, we don't get anything new.
It would have been a good thriller movie if it wasn't for the ending. Right before the movie ended I was gonna give this a 7/10, but no. We see no plot what so ever a lack of scares, but we see thrilling action sequences that are pretty good, from a married couple trying their best to survive and yet, we get a few seconds of negligence and the couple suddenly turns stupid and die. So what was the movie made for? Nothing, it's a waste of space. The franchise could have kept going without this piece of junk, I'll just ignore it exists and hope REC Apocalypse is not as bad.
