TADFF 2012: ‘[REC]³ Génesis’ forges a misbegotten identity of its own


[REC]³ Génesis

Directed by Paco Plaza

Written by Paco Plaza, Luiso Berdejo and David Gallart

Spain, 2012

The first [Rec] was a haunting and sinister horror film that ended on an intended note of malevolent ambiguity. [Rec] ², for better or worse, tried to elucidate the questions posed in the first. In [REC]³ Génesis, however, it feels like the franchise was hijacked by misguided works of fan fiction, by people who loved the two previous chapters, but who fundamentally misunderstood why they were so effective. As a result, [REC]³ is a film that forges a misbegotten identity of its own by categorically burning the bridges with its predecessors, betraying the very reason why we gave a damn about the third installment in the first place.
