Rec 4: Apocalypse

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Anton Bitel Little White Lies 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. Mar 2, 2015 Full Review Katie Rife AV Club 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. Rated: B Jan 2, 2015 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 30, 2014 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com This is one more flesh-eating virus we've become immune to. Rated: 2/5 Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Somewhat gets the series back on track. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting [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. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D While an improvement over Rec 3. By ditching the found footage it becomes more of an generic zombie movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Lucas t There isn't really any of the rec films I don't like, yes the 3rd film is considered the worst but I still like it and I still like this for the same reasons as the 3rd film. Bad ass and gory (and acting). 7.5/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Robson C A jornalista Ângela Vidal, do primeiro filme, é resgatada do prédio que foi explodido e tornou-se a única sobrevivente. Ela e os militares envolvidos nessa missão são levados para um navio para ficarem de quarentena. Ao mesmo tempo, um grupo de cientistas tenta encontrar a cura para a epidemia. O público não deve ter entendido o porquê deste filme não ser o terceiro da franquia em vez do anterior, que acaba não acrescentando em nada, mesmo nesse que é a sua sequência com uma personagem que faz menção ao casamento. O found fottage não existe aqui. Assim, cria-se vários personagens para ninguém se importar e morrer virando zumbi. Há uma tentativa de repetir o ambiente do primeiro e segundo filmes, onde o prédio tinha corredores e a escada muito estreitos, como no navio. Mas isso não é obtido. Infelizmente a franquia encerra-se de maneira bem triste, comparado com a promessa existente no primeiro filme. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review matthias s I regret watching "Rec 4." It was a complete waste of my time and money. The plot was uninspired, and the acting was wooden. I felt no connection to any of the characters, and their actions often seemed forced and illogical. The movie lacked any real scares or suspense, relying instead on cheap jump scares and gore. Even the special effects were lackluster and unconvincing. To make matters worse, the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. It felt like the writers had simply run out of ideas and decided to end the movie without resolving anything. I cannot recommend "Rec 4." If you're looking for a good horror movie, look elsewhere. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Kauã M Obviously better than the previous one for bringing the basic plot back, but all the tension that existed was gone, causing the feeling of a generic zombie film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Jerod S Rec 4 gets back to the original storyline and centers around searching for the origin of the parasite. Things get a little silly with the outboard boat motor as a weapon - but all in all a good infected romp. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
