“[REC] 4: Apocalypse” (2014), directed by Jaume Balagueró, is the fourth chapter in the Spanish horror series “[REC].” Picking up directly after the events of “[REC] 2,” the film follows TV reporter Ángela Vidal, played by Manuela Velasco, who is rescued from the infected apartment building and taken to a naval ship repurposed as a quarantine facility. The ship is designed to study and contain the virus that caused the outbreak.

However, the virus quickly spreads among the crew and passengers, leading to chaos and horror on board. The film shifts from the found-footage style of its predecessors to a traditional cinematic approach, creating a new sense of claustrophobic tension within the confines of the ship.

“[REC] 4: Apocalypse” combines action and horror, delivering intense sequences and gore while providing a conclusion to the franchise’s storyline. Despite deviating from the raw style of earlier entries, the film maintains suspense and terror, with Velasco’s performance adding continuity and depth. It concludes the “[REC]” saga with a mix of high-octane thrills and chilling moments, offering a gripping finale to the series.
