Review – [REC] 3 Genesis (2012)

24th September 2012

Your wedding day is supposed to be an occasion you won’t forget your happily ever after not the zombie apocalypse!

Koldo and Clara are about to celebrate their wedding day with family and friends and all appears to be running smoothly for the bride and groom as the audience is lulled into a false sense of security in the build up to the worst wedding crashers ever.

It soon becomes apparent that till death do us part may come sooner than the newly weds expected as the guests start to show signs of a strange illness. All hell breaks lose and guests along with the newly weds are running for their lives. We see Koldo at the beginning of the film but we have no idea if Clara is even still alive. We later hear her on a radio/intercom telling Koldo she is also pregnant this almost brings out her maternal instinct straight away the fight or flight response to protect her own. They both set out in the hellish destruction in the hope of finding each other with Koldo bringing a whole new meaning to knight in shinning armour in the most literal sense.

The film mainly focuses on them trying to find each other and start their lives together while all around is pain and suffering. Using a chainsaw that just so happens to be laying around Clara cuts her wedding dress up on one side to make it less constricting she is ready, fighting off the undead and kicking some serious butt with the chainsaw her once pristine dress is now covered in blood, even with makeup smudged and running down her face she is still fearless in her search for Koldo. When given the chance to leave and have a chance to be safe she refuses as she won’t leave without him. Does love really conquer all?

The film is visually appealing with the special effects and bucket loads of blood. Chainsaw check, kitchen utensils check, electric whisk check, sword check, not the weapons that first spring to mind when fighting the undead but they do make make for interesting screen time and they are nothing if not resourceful.

An enjoyable bloodfest and you know what they say you never forget your wedding day!
