  • Starring: Jonathan Mellor, Manuela Velasco, Óscar Zafra
  • Summary: The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science—a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside. (Magnolia Pictures)… Expand

    [Rec] 2 is a pell-mell, edge-of-your-seat, theme-park ride through hell, and I strongly advise you to ignore the aspersions cast upon it by snooty critics and random Internet fanboys alike. I am your friend, horror fans! I know what you need, and this is it.

    Now, with this underwhelming sequel, Spain proves it can stand toe to toe with any nation in the manufacture of unnecessary follow-ups.

    As it turns out, what's going on is yet another cinematic rip-off, this time of "The Exorcist." Apparently rec stands not for record but for recycle

    [REC] 2 is so much better than riding a roller-coaster ride. It's really scary, terrifying, and shocking that has a twist after another. You won't believe what happens throughout the film; it's just too damn entertaining. Is it better than the first? No. Prepare yourself for numerous jumps and loud noises!… Expand

    Just as enjoyable as the first one was for me.The gripping story and camerawork made this a spooky and thrilling hell of a ride like the first did.For a foreign horror film,Rec and Rec 2 are quite simply the best ones I've seen and the scariest handheld camera films since Blair Witch.Yeah,they're that good.Don't miss em and be on the lookout for them!… Expand

    "[REC] 2", the sequel of the creepy "[REC]", still has its scares and chills. Only your horror ride has become rustier and unpredictable.
