The [REC] series
is an interesting one. These Spanish
movies really took POV films to another level.
[REC]3: Genesis takes things
too a bit new level and in a different direction. The movie takes a bold approach to the look
of the demonic infection showing us new characters, and wild new gory effects.
Koldo, played by Diego Martin, and Clara, played by Leticia
Dolera, are celebrating their wedding day.
They have a wonderful ceremony and a great reception but what they don’t
know is that they have an infected guest.
When the guest finally goes nuts and starts biting others, chaos
ensues. Can Koldo and Clara reunite and
escape the horrors of their strange demonic zombie wedding?
The acting is not bad. Leticia Dolera and Diego Martin bring
good characters to the screen. You want them to succeed and get through this
horrible ordeal. The side characters are
even memorable and interesting; even as comic relief. There is a lot of charm around the characters
and you hope that they will make it. The
fact that this is a parallel story to the rest of the series only adds to the
fun.
The movie switches from POV to normal third person view
which is different for the [REC]
series. The practical effects are a
welcome change of pace compared to most of the other horror movies that are
coming out these days. Adding to the mythos of the story by showing that the
demons see themselves as monsters in mirrors and can be thwarted by holy areas
and objects were clever changes.
If you are a fan of the series you will enjoy this. If you are not familiar with the series you
can still enjoy this movie. The
characters are at fun and interesting and the knowing the story from the first
two movies is not needed to understand what is happening. [REC]3: Genesis is a good movie and a great series that is completely
worth seeing.
