Perhaps Paco Plaza's fictional virus finally got to him because the fact that he thinks he can do away with found footage and horror in the third installment is downright bizarre.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 8, 2012

Plaza throws in more than enough ludicrous touches of his own to grab viewers by their arteries and never let go.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 7, 2012

With slapstick smothering the scares, "[REC 3]" is further marred by a plot in which the muted Catholicism of its antecedents is turned up to full blast.

Like vampires, this genre is getting deadly.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 6, 2012

This thing has a pulse. It may be pushing blood through a gushing jugular but it's beating.

| Original Score: 3.5/5.0 | Sep 6, 2012

It's hard to maintain dread while the filmmakers are so obviously grinning at their own cleverness.

| Original Score: C | Sep 6, 2012

Giddy shots of the undead slogging through a decimated party-scape materialize the decadence and instability of upper-crust family life, even as groom and (pregnant) bride prepare to give birth to another generation of the Spanish elite.

| Sep 4, 2012

Presents more ripped flesh and spilt guts but in a new, sunnier setting - a wedding reception at a sprawling country mansion.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 31, 2012

If a fourth entry wasn't already in the works, [Rec] 3: Genesis could have easily represented the nail in the franchise's coffin.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 30, 2012

A prequel that trades the scratchy terror of its predecessors for hit-and-miss body shocks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2012

Somebody alert the advertising watchdog. There's a DOA zombie flick doing the rounds pretending to be a [REC] movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2012

Paco Plaza's third REC film follows the same format as the rest, but the early franchise frights are missing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2012

For all its gleeful limb-severing, offal-scoffing and chainsaw-wielding, this disco mirrorball of a movie scatters ideas in all directions, rather than focusing the spotlight on what counts - the scares.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2012

An avalanche of unadventurous nastiness and moldy meta gags.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2012
