Review of [REC] 4: Apocalypse

Rec 4 somewhat links with the 3rd film, as one or two characters from the wedding are on a ship at sea with television reporter Angela, and a crew of scientists attempting to find a cure for the disease. It was the best of the franchise to me as the setting was far more isolated then the other films: increasing the tension and the disaster which could unfold if the virus broke out on board the ship (which of course it did). However, the film provided plenty of adventure and action with less horror (jumpscares) then the other films, which was a pleasant break from zombies jumping out of Shadows all the time. The adventure to the film inclined when the scientists started looking through Angela's camera footage from the first film in order to discover more of the virus: how it lives on through a host by inserting a (worm?) creature inside him/her. Great film, it's way underrated at 5.4.
