Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

InaneSwine After a promising beginning for the franchise with two exhilarating and frightening films, REC 3 threw the biggest cinematic spanner into the works like no other film franchise I have ever witnessed. After that, I knew that REC 4 couldn't possibly be any worse. So it has that going for it.REC 4 certainly is an improvement, but it's still a disappointment. What it wisely does is ditch the found-footage style completely, as opposed to the third film's disorientating switch partway through. The "comic" elements from the third film still unfortunately linger in bits and pieces, though the overall dark mood of the film works in its favour.Yet the film doesn't seem to know what to do with itself, its plot or its characters (a warm welcome back to Manuela Velasco, by the way), and ends up being a bizarre amalgam of other sources. It's like Captain Phillips crossed with Braindead. And by the time the ending does arrive, I had sort of already wished the ship would just blow up, and bury the last of the franchise at sea where it belongs.It's an okay film, but it exists as a patchy attempt to crawl back onto the rails. For what has been billed as the final REC film, it is most unsatisfying.

The Couchpotatoes When you think about the horror movies that go on forever you have to admit that most of them get worse in time. But with the Rec movies I honestly think they did a good job with all four. Okay maybe the third one was not in the same line as the first two but it was still a decent zombie horror movie. Now with Rec 4 Apocalyps they produced a movie in the same line as the first two. Maybe not as good but certainly worth a watch. I actually didn't get bored for one second and I thought the story was really entertaining and well written. Will there be another Rec or will this one be the end? To me they could make one more but they could stop as well. I enjoyed all four and I'm certain that most of the zombie movie lovers did as well. There are way worse movies in this genre then Rec. To me it's already a classic in this genre.

Claudio Carvalho The television reporter Ángela Vidal (Manuela Velasco) awakes in a ship and finds that she is locked in her cabin in quarantine. She escapes and stumbles with Guzmán (Paco Manzanedo), who rescued her from the apartment building in Spain. They discover that Dr. Ginard (Paco Obregón) and Dr. Ricarte (Héctor Colomé) are researching a cure for the lethal infection in the ship. Guzmán goes to the wheelhouse and he is introduced to Captain Ortega (Mariano Venancio) that is in his last voyage and radio operator and hacker Nic (Ismael Fritschi) that is trying to retrieve the footages in Ángela's camera. There is a blackout in the vessel and Dr. Ricarte discovers that someone released their guinea pig, an infected monkey where they would test an antidote. The monkey attacks the cook and most of the crew is infected by their lunch. Meanwhile Nic retrieves the footage from the camera and Dr. Ricarte sees the girl Tristana Medeiros transferring the worm-like virus to Angela that claims that is not infected. However Dr. Ricarte believes that Ángela is the hostage and patient zero and wants to extract the parasite from her belly to test the antidote. In the middle of the chaos on board, will the attempt work? "(REC)4: Apocalipsis" is a decent conclusion of this franchise. The story returns to the genre of the first movie with Angela and the survivor from the wedding in the deceptive third movie and fortunately forgets the religious approach from the second movie. The problem now is a virus transmitted by a worm-like parasite that seeks the strongest hostage. The plot does not have surprise, is gore and entertains. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

2fresh 2clean This "REC" film was pretty much what I expected after only seeing "REC 3". I haven't seen the first two "RECs" yet but I know they were more of the lost footage type and this one and the previous one steered away from that format. This film did have it's little twists that kept it kind of interesting but not enough to make it a film that I would say is an excellent one. This film takes place on an oil tanker in the middle of the ocean. Now it takes movie writing skills to make a film like this one take place in a confined area. I'm not saying that this film was bad I'm just saying that there could have been more. If you're some what of a fan of the "REC" franchise it's safe to watch this one. It might not be as good as the ones before it but for a finale you won't be disappointed.
