[REC3] Genesis | Release date: 30 March 2012

The trequel of the success of the Spanish 2007 film [Rec] which was very popular among the Spanish Horror / Thriller fans. It is by director Paco Plaza who was also in charge of the first two films. Especially the first film was welcomed by the international audience. The second did a little worse, but apparently there is still need for a third one. This one is about the beginnings. It is about a nightmare wedding.
