Chances are if you’re a fan of horror movies then you’re a fan of the [REC] franchise. And if that is indeed the case then you should be stoked for the next two installments: [REC] GENESIS and [REC] APOCALYPSE. Unfortunately though we had no idea what either film would be about… Until now!
The guys over at Bloody-Disgusting just got their hands on the rundowns for both GENESIS and APOCALYPSE and have decided to share them with the world. So here I am to tell you all about it! Excited? You should be!
[REC] Genesis: “Koldo and Clara are about to celebrate the most important day of their lives: their wedding. Everything appears to be running smoothly and the bride and groom and their families are enjoying a wonderful day; that is until some of the guests start showing signs of a strange illness. Before they know what’s happening, the bride and groom find themselves in the middle of a hellish ordeal, as an uncontrollable torrent of violence is unleashed on the wedding. Amidst the chaos, Koldo and Clara become separated and begin a desperate search for one another. What started off as an idyllic day quickly descends into a nightmare of the worst kind…”
[REC] Apocalypse: “Angela Vidal, the young television reporter who entered the building with the fireman, manages to make it out alive. But what the soldiers don’t know is that she carries the seed of the strange infection. She is to be taken to a provisional quarantine facility, a high-security installation where she will have to stay in isolation for several days. An old oil tanker, miles off shore and surrounded by water on all sides, has been especially equipped for the quarantine.”
Alright so we basically had a good idea of what GENESIS was going to be about already but this is the first time we’re hearing any details regarding APOCALYPSE… So what do you guys think? Personally I think it sounds kind of a lame but then again I can see it being just as enjoyable as the first two films. If those two showed anything it’s that you don’t really need a drawn out plot to make a good movie. Here’s hoping GENESIS and APOCALYPSE follow along those same lines!
[REC] GENESIS is due to hit Spanish theaters on March 30th from director Paco Plaza with a cast that includes Leticia Dolera (below), Diego Martin, Mireia Ros, Ismael Martinez, Emilio Menchata and Blai Llopis. All we know about [REC] APOCALYPSE is that it’s coming from director Jaume Balaguero and is due to start lensing this year. I’d say it’s a safe assumption that Manuela Velasco will be back as well judging from that synopsis above.
So there you have it folks! A nice juicy [REC] update to kick-start your weekend! We’ll of course be keeping our eyes open for anything else regarding the zombie franchise so be sure to check back soon for more as it comes our way.
