If you’ve seen the first two films and are thinking about watching this film, be prepared that Rec 3 departs from the format of the first two films and is supposed to be funny with brief homage to other horror films. The filmmakers expect that you are coming to this film with knowledge of what caused the outbreak so instead of exploring the dark side of the premise, it takes a tongue in cheek look at wedding guests and workers, effective weapons against the outbreak and innate melodrama of the setting. While the first two films had a legitimate documentary veneer of authenticity and realism, this film openly acknowledges its place in the genre and plays with it quite cleverly. I enjoyed it immensely.
