It's been a while since I regularly posted reviews on Amazon. To be honest, I was thinking of knocking it on the head, but after watching this film last night, I'm breaking my silence simply to weep.
I honestly don't know where to start with how much of a disappointment the third REC film is. Should I go with the weak attempts at comedy and how massively out of place they are?
