Critics Consensus

After a lackluster third entry, [REC] 4 gets the series back on track, at least to the level of the first sequel.

There is plenty of ferocious tension here, but also some very well-pitched goofiness, with even a cameo from the Sumatran rat monkeys of Peter Jackson's proto-romzomcom from 1992, Braindead.

B

With [REC] 4, Balaguer returns to the main storyline and to the kind of claustrophobic setting where [REC] really thrives, ditching the slapstick splatter of [REC] 3 without sacrificing zombie gore.

1.5/4

Whatever scant insight the prior films offered into Spain's waning Catholic belief has now been entirely replaced by fascist, cartoonish shows of wish-fulfillment prevarication.

This is one more flesh-eating virus we've become immune to.

[REC] 4: Apocalypse completely disregards the religious and demonic aspects of the first three films and...doesn't make sense in the continuity of the franchise.

A fitting end to the franchise. The film was good and the storyline worked well.

By completely ditching the found-footage concept, it remains an underwhelming sequel to the previous rec movies. However, in comparison to rec 3, this would rank a bit higher since I quite liked the cinematics and visual effects in this film, and they also brought back Angela Vidal. I'm glad that the rec films ended here to spare the series from further criticism, since rec 1 and rec 2 were already pretty promising, with rec 1 being highly regarded in the movie community.

They have lost it all, the plot, the direction, the setting. I'm glad its the last one in the series. Also, 'apocalypse'? where is the apocalypse in this?

Cómo que: "Por lo que a mí me respecta, diría que no habrá «[REC]5», porque después de ver la cuarta no quedarán ganas de ver una quinta", literalmente acaban de dejar un mundo de epidemia totalmente abierto para explorar demasiado, más con ese final que para ser sincero me gustó demasiado. No tengo duda, la saga [REC] se acaba de convertir en una de mis favoritas con el género Zombies/Epidemia. Me gustó que en esta cuarta entrega dejaron totalmente de lado el tema religión y se centraron en la ciencia, dándonos algo más común en este género y haciendo nada mal para ser la cuarta película.
