THE APPARITION (2012)

The only reason to watch this stinker is Ashley Greene.

Young couple live in a big house.  Creepy stuff starts to happen cuz somebody pissed off a ghost.  Yawn.

Zero scares, zero blood, zero gore, zero tits, zero sense.  Fuck this boring turd.

[REC] 3: GENESIS (2012)

Whoa!  Now we're heading in the right direction.  Wisely abandoning the shaky cam bullshit from the first two movies, [REC] 3 tells the story (in normal camera mode) of a wedding attacked by demon possessed people.  One of the wedding guests was bitten by the dog mentioned in Part 1.  At the start of the movie the dude is feeling fine and having fun.  The wedding is going about as well as a wedding can go (it looks like Hell on Earth to me), but then things actually do turn into Hell on Earth when homeboy turns into a full fledged monster and starts biting people who in turn bite and infect others.  Shit quickly gets all cray and the bride and the groom, who's love for each other is stomach-turning, are separated but they can "sense" each others safety.  Oh brother!  Now they must fight through a ton of monsters to find each other.

Despite all the goofy love shit and the awful wedding singing, I enjoyed [REC] 3.  It wasn't as epic as EVIL DEAD 2 or DEAD ALIVE (mainly thanks to the script being the weakest part of the movie), but it was a fun ride with great looking zombies.  Worth a watch.  Now looking forward to Part 4!

 If the infection is transmitted through blood then how come this guy doesn't turn into a "zombie"?

[REC] 2 (2009)

Hmm.  Well I'll be damned, [REC] 2 is actually better than the original.  Bigger budget, better looking picture and most importantly a more fleshed out story. 

The film opens with a group of SWAT team dudes gearing up to go inside the building at about the exact time the last movie was ending.  They go in, find all the blood and stuff from the initial outbreak.  Along for the ride is a whacked out priest who instructs them to go to the penthouse.  Once there all kinds of cray shit starts to happen.  Possessed children crawling on the ceiling, lots of blood, head shots, suicide, blowup doll destruction, hidden doorways, cages, mowing down possessed people with machine guns, nasty worm thing.  It's pretty cool.  At least the beginning and the end.  The middle part is kinda slow, but even then it never gets boring.

Worth a watch.  It's still filmed in that shaky cam way, but this time around it seems they tried to actually make it look like a FPS, so that's pretty neat.  Check it out.
