Rec 4: Apocalypse Reviews

This is one more flesh-eating virus we've become immune to.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2019

Somewhat gets the series back on track.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 14, 2019

[REC] 4: Apocalypse completely disregards the religious and demonic aspects of the first three films and...doesn't make sense in the continuity of the franchise.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

[REC] 4: Apocalypse... raise your hand to be among one of the worst movies of the year, at least. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/10 | Dec 14, 2017

Thrilling in parts but just missing the mark in so many other aspects, Apocalypse literally ends on a confused look instead of a bang.

| Jan 14, 2016

Doesn't come close to eclipsing the first two entries, but is certainly an improvement over Part 3.

| Aug 23, 2015

There is plenty of ferocious tension here, but also some very well-pitched goofiness, with even a cameo from the Sumatran rat monkeys of Peter Jackson's proto-romzomcom from 1992, Braindead.

Full Review | Mar 2, 2015

It's a less distinctive film than the oddly sweet, ultra-gory [●REC]3 Gnesis - which didn't find favour with some [●REC] purists - but it keeps its pot boiling decently.

| Feb 18, 2015

[REC] 4: Apocalypse is probably the sequel you wanted after [REC 2].

| Original Score: B- | Jan 8, 2015

A worthy sequel with genuine scares. A nice send-off to the series.

| Original Score: B | Jan 5, 2015

With [REC] 4, Balaguer returns to the main storyline and to the kind of claustrophobic setting where [REC] really thrives, ditching the slapstick splatter of [REC] 3 without sacrificing zombie gore.

| Original Score: B | Jan 2, 2015

As chapter fours go, this is a bloody good time even if it fails to be the capstone that REC really deserves.

| Original Score: 6.6/10 | Jan 2, 2015

Yet while it's fine as a passing diversion, it finally feels unimportant as a movie unto itself.

| Jan 2, 2015

While it doesn't match the deliriously wicked atmosphere of the first two films, "[REC] 4" has its own special firepower and a determination to preserve blood-stained hysteria for one last hurrah.

| Original Score: B | Jan 1, 2015

"[REC] 4" is missing out on the deep-throated scares of the first two pictures and mostly drops the more supernatural elements previously established, but it is difficult to deny its tautly riveting force.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 31, 2014

Whatever scant insight the prior films offered into Spain's waning Catholic belief has now been entirely replaced by fascist, cartoonish shows of wish-fulfillment prevarication.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 30, 2014

Apocalypse is the weakest [REC] entry to date, but it's still a bloody enough finale to end the famed "zombie" franchise on.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 28, 2014

As an above-average adrenaline-driven roller-coaster ride, which offsets its multiple cliches with raw, controlled energy, it works.

| Dec 9, 2014

After an underwhelming third chapter, this Spanish horror franchise largely bounces back.

| Oct 30, 2014

The worst of the [REC] movies...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 5, 2014
