Overview

Ángela Vidal, the young television reporter who entered the building with the firemen, 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.

Viewing Notes

via Netflix

In the final installment, TV reporter Ángela is rescued and taken to an offshore ship for quarantine, but she brings with her an unwelcome stowaway. I’m going to preface this by saying I haven’t seen REC or REC 2, but I did see REC 3. I did however watch Quarantine which was the US remake of REC which I actually liked quite a bit.  This seems more like a direct sequel to REC with a few nods to the others. This is also not nearly as bloody or insane as REC 3 was.  They have some good ideas with this one, but it never feels as intense as everything felt with Quarantine or the atmosphere of the first film. A ship would be the perfect ground for that but the film never quite capitalizes on it. Worth a look if you liked the other REC films or like zombie films in general.
