[REC] 4: Apocalypse Has Had It With These M’F’in’ Zombies on This M’F’in’ Boat
 |
If you’re not familiar with the [REC] movies, they remade the first one over here as Quarantine, and the title refers to the record button on a camera. I haven’t kept up on the series, but it looks like the found-footage gimmick is gone for this supposedly final installment that channels Resident Evil a bit more than usual.
It’s a franchise caught in an interesting time – when the first movie opened, mainstream horror fans were thought to be allergic to subtitles. Nowadays, we’re all less hung up about it. This looks like fun, but if you’ll excuse me, I think I have some onscreen mythology to catch up on.
