The [REC] franchise is quickly becoming one of the most beloved amongst the fanbase, particularly because of the no holds barred approach of the first two films. We’ve got an early look at what to expect from the third film in the series directed by Paco Plaza, [REC] 3: Genesis, which may surprise you, along with some early teaser art!

From the AFM Brochure
The original REC crew are back, ready to submit their ensemble cast to another fight for survival against the zombie infection. This time to the backdrop of an original soundtrack. The new chapter will see the film “open up” by using a more traditional cinematographic style. However, the film’s roots have not been forgotten, and viewers will still be immersed in the action watching certain events unfold through the eye of the video camera. The action in REC 3 GENESIS encompasses the events of the first two films and after the sense of claustrophobia previously experienced. The action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight, giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies, this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final installment the future, REC 4 Apocalypse.

Looks like they’re going for a more of a straight narrative approach and not the prequel we were once led to believe. Tell us what you think below!
