Rec 3 Genesis (2012)

Paco Plaza directs the third installment of the brilliant Rec series, but theres no doubt this is a little dissapointing. I get they wanted to do something compleyely different with the third film but the humorous touches really dont sit well and only contribute in reducing the tension that the first two films capture so well. Let it be said Rec 2 is all out action and is terrifying! Basically Rec 3 shows a young couple on their wedding day when guess what... one of the guests starts acting strangley. You know how this plays out! The trouble is the plots as simple as that, falling into some really cheesey 'fan boy festival' moments and some horrible genre cliches. A brave move into something different, but in no way captures the genuine fear of the first two films. That said, its beautifully shot. I mean seriously, the colours and cinematography are amazing. Some great special effects and make up too. Just not scary... Bit of a shame. We'll see where the last film takes us...
