Review

"It follows the basics of the zombie genre, going back at least to George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). But director Paco Plaza throws in more than enough ludicrous touches of his own to grab viewers by their arteries and never let go. The movie's highlight is punk-haired Leticia Dolera as the bride. When matters get drastic, she grabs a chain saw, cuts off part of her wedding dress, exposing a red garter, and goes on the offensive. Blood flows, limbs fly. There has never been another wedding day like this. "[REC] 3 Genesis" is a prequel to the first two "[REC]" movies, but that doesn't much matter. You don't need to have seen them to enjoy this film, which provides fresh blood for a tired genre." - V.A. Musetto, New York Post
