Een paar uur na de verschrikkelijke gebeurtenissen die het oude gebouw in Barcelona verwoestten, beslist het leger in te grijpen. Ze sturen een elitegroep het gebouw in om explosieven te installeren en de nachtmerrie te stoppen. Maar net voor de explosie plaats kan vinden, ontdekken de soldaten nog één overlevende: Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco)… De reporter wordt in quarantaine geplaatst op een olietanker. De perfecte plek voor de hergeboorte van het Kwade… De Apocalyps kan beginnen! Met Rec 4 komt er een einde aan de spectaculaire serie horrorfilms. (Cinéart Nederland)

The weakest feature film by Balagueró and also the weakest in the REC franchise so far. And, even if nobody here will agree with me on this, I think it’s actually the first weak REC; I think the much hated third instalment is a solid film, mainly because it wasn’t afraid to be different. Apocalipsis more or less brings back the serious tone, the cramped spaces, Ángela and the bloody action, but the magic of the first two episodes is gone. This was quite shocking for me, I was almost certain that Balagueró was the creative engine behind the duo of directors, but now I feel that what made the first two films what they are may have been in fact the collaboration of two creative guys competing on who can come up with the best idea. Because interesting ideas is exactly what Apocalipsis is missing. It feels ordinary, generic and lazy. Disappointing, pointless, but nicely shot.

[REC] 4 rather fits into the category of action sci-fi than horror, because it's closer to action sci-fi. It’s a professional film, but the plot falls flat and is more of a pandering to fans in the sense of the main character's return than a horror film that is for everyone. In that regard, it comes across as just a slightly more expensive B-movie that tries to be something more.
