REC 3: Genesis

REC is a Spanish horror film series about a zombie like infection this is the 3rd in the series. It is a prequel and gets rid of the found footage style. Now this film has elements that are really good and really bad elements. The things that worked were the actors mainly the actor Clara she was great I really believed in her and liked her character and also like Koldo he was good just not as good as Clara. Some of the scares worked really well. When you actually saw the zombies they were some great makeup on them very creepy. The director had a great feel for pace. The tone was all over the place thought but the pace was still great. This was more of a over the top horror movie. It went along the lines of Return of the dead and its a lot more funny. Now if this was a stand alone film I wouldn't mind it, but sense this is a 3rd in the series it really hurt the film. The first two RECs had a great tone very creepy and great scares. Also something I think that really hurts the feel and the biggest problem with me the first 20 minutes of the film are done in found footage style and then switches to traditional. When it switched I found it really hard to get back into the movie. All in all the only real reason should see this movie is if you like the series. Even then you can still possible skip it.
