	Author	Review
United States	V.A. Musetto New York Post	"There has never been another wedding like this (...) [It] is a prequel to the first two '[REC]' movies, but that doesn’t much matter. You don’t need to have seen them to enjoy this film, which provides fresh blood for a tired genre"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"It's a tiresome gore fest (...) The makers think they're being sophisticatedly ruthless. They're merely childishly heartless."	NEG
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"[It] strips away the strengths of its predecessors to deliver an altogether brighter, jokier blood bath."	POS
United States	Drew Taylor IndieWire	"Plaza chose to expand the scope of the ‘[rec]’ universe and create something genuinely fresh and new, a bold and brazen comment on the found-footage genre and a supremely entertaining horror comedy"	POS
United Kingdom	Simon Crook Empire	"Paco Plazas third REC film follows the same format as the rest, but the early franchise frights are missing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Zombie prequel distances itself from series with entertaining blend of silliness and scares"	POS
