Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Scott LeBrun "(Rec) 2" takes place 15 minutes after the events of the first film. A GEO team and a man who's supposed to be a medical officer enter the quarantined apartment building. However, despite the fact that this building is supposedly sealed off, a stupid bunch of kids manage to make their way inside. The story follows the first group for a while, then introduces the kids, before bringing them together as the search for the source / antidote to the outbreak remains underway.This sequel to the Spanish horror hit is effectively chaotic at times, but it also tends to be lacking in suspense. There is simply way too much chatter, and viewers could argue that there's way too much exposition as well. (That said, there's a certain level of intrigue in the way that biological and religious rationales are sort of tied together here.) The assortment of new characters introduced isn't terribly interesting, so it does come as a relief when lovely Manuela Velasco makes an encore appearance as reporter Angela."(Rec) 2" is reasonably bloody and violent, so it delivers fairly well on a visceral level. Unfortunately, it's too hard to care what happens to any of these people. And the attacks are much more amusing than they are harrowing. This does have some good moments, but with less of the atmosphere that made the first "(Rec)" so compelling, it's definitely a comedown from the original film.Six out of 10.

avidmoviewatcher1221 REC 2 reaches the same heights - maybe even higher - of terrifying as the original. I thought I knew what to expect. But I should've known better. REC was an unexpected, scary-as-hell, yet exhilarating roller- coaster ride, from start to finish. And that REC 2 was just as unexpected - and it was scared the ever-living crap out of me. I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. I wanted to know what happened after the unsettling ending of REC. So I couldn't keep my eyes closed, even if it could potentially cause a heart attack of some sort in the process of watching. And it was all worth it, from start to finish, then, suddenly, I was taken over by the same question when I finished the original: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!

Jonny-ironica With these films, I don't want to give away TOO many details in case the person reading this review hasn't seen it yet.While the first film relied heavily on atmosphere and telling a story through unfolding horrific events, building up to the last 10 minutes which exposed a huge amount of explanation while remaining some of the most intense moments in horror history.Rec 2 follows a similar pattern but spends more time expanding on the previous film's climactic ending throughout the film. The thrills take only a slight backseat at times to divulge a nice amount of exposition. This approach is actually slightly superior story-wise, but makes it slightly inferior to the original. However, both films stand as equal on quality level and are worth being viewed as 1 competent, coherent story among chaos.Unfortunately, the American bastardization of the original was followed by a sequel that holds nothing to this film, but that's another rant for another IMDb review.Overall, this is a 9/10. Near perfection for the horror genre, which saw an inspiring dose of revitalization in Europe after 2000.

begob Barcelona apartments are great.Stodgy sequel, only heats up in the last quarter - like the first film.I spent the first half wondering if this was the return of Spanish fascism, with a priest and militarised police as the self-important heroes.It got more interesting when the kids entered through the tunnel, and I got really interested when the babe reporter from the first film turned up with the night vision.Again way too much jumpy camera, and way too much repetition of a single word in the dialogue. This time is was Vamos!Overall this doesn't take me any further than the first episode. And the punk song on the end credits is lame.
