[Rec] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus runs rampant. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science---a demonic nightmare more terrifying than they could possibly imagine.
[Rec] 2 is one of those rare sequels that people genuinely like. It's almost an improvement on its predecessor, utilizing a new and original way to "record" the action without going over the top and becoming redundant. There's none of that, "Yeah...but who would continue holding a camera when you're being attacked by a zombie?" business, that seems to be the number one complaint of the hand held era.

Rarely do horrorphiles get treated to sequels that match their originals and that answer lingering questions we may have once thought would be forever unanswered. When it comes to [Rec] 2, the follow-up to 2007’s widely well-regarded Spanish language [Rec], that’s still the case. Though the film starts well enough, adhering to the spirit and scares of the original, it’s unable to sustain the strength of the tension that opens it.

There are many films that utilize demonic possession as a central theme, but less common are the ones in which entire mobs of demonic undead spring up to storm the streets. Lamberto Bava's Demons and Demons 2 come to mind as suitable examples. The Evil Dead films also fit the bill, as does John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. There are more, up to and including 2007's [Rec], a film about a deadly viral possession that differs from the many others in its sub-genre in one important way; instead of being the campy fun that is Evil Dead or Demons, [Rec] was intended to scare the crap out of you. For many, it worked, and those who enjoyed [Rec] should get ready as [Rec] 2 is just as effective.

This the review of Rec 2, directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, starring Jonathan Mellor , Manuela Velasco, Óscar Zafra, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca, Pablo Rosso and Ferran Terraza. The 2007 Spanish movie Rec was – without doubt – one of the best horror films of the decade. Hollywood was impressed enough to produce an English-language version, but as is so often the way, something got lost in the translation, and Quarantine (2008) sank without much trace… leaving Rec-heads eagerly awaiting this sequel from the original Spanish production team.

[Rec]2
Stars: Jonathan Mellor, Pablo Rosso, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca, Ferran Terraza | Written and Directed by Jaume Balaguero & Paco Plaza
[Rec]2 continues where the original film left off, with a medical officer and Swat team outfitted with video cameras and sent into the sealed off apartment to control the ’situation’. This time round the story not only follows the Swat team, but also a rag-tag group of kids who sneak into the building for a look at just what’s going on… big mistake!
Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza return with the highly anticipated sequel to the well-recieved Rec and what many are calling the Aliens to originals Alien, and you can see why – much like Alien was the more scary film in the franchise, so is Rec. However [Rec]2 takes the lead from Aliens and pumps up the action and nerve-jangling suspense; and that’s not the only parallel. In [Rec]2 the ‘zombies’ (who aren’t actually zombies,...
