This is how you make a sequel. Instead of just being a tacked-on continuation or brazen cash-grab, "[REC] 2" builds upon the mythos set up in 2007's "[REC]," then twists it in rousingly unanticipated ways as the characters—and viewers—learn more about what they are

More about [REC] 2

  • Do we really want a third film though. I mean both films so far have been excellent, and Hollywood could learn a lot form how good this sequel is. But having a third film is probably stretching the story a little far.
  • Oh god, not another one! The first one freaked me out so bad, even though I already knew most of what would happen (my mates had already described the entire plot to me). Still, I can't wait to see this one. Unsure of whether it can be as good as the first, and definitely hesitant to say that they should do a third!
  • I love horrors & this looks like a great sequel.
  • Moose Mahon says
    Ok, I haven't seen the first one, but now I'm thinking about getting it out next time I hit the DVD store late on a Saturday night when I'm feeling like a good freak out... ;)

    "Quarantine" was awesome...and I LOVED 28 Days Later (a classic)...so the REC series should be right up my alley ;)

    I'm sold - although I may never sleep again if I watch this, it looks totally creepy!
  • Kristy Dekker New Member says
    I was quite disappointed with this one as it was way too much like Quarantine but still any gory horror is great!! Especially when you get these shots!
  • Really enjoyed the first movie and alot better then the american version Quarantine. Usually sequels are weaker then the original and it's the same old same old.
  • Awesome, i'm always loving the movies that have my darling jumping on my lap in sheer terror. Nothing makes you feel more like a man than being able to play the big protector!
  • Its a horror movie so I'm not worried too much about the story or character development, As long as it scares the crap out of me. A sign of good horror is if I can't sleep after watching it.
  • OMG this film is so good. Before going into the screening I wasn't sure how the sequel would work as REC 1 was a tight movie. however after seeing REC 2 I was proved wrong, it has more action, more explanation, more complicated storyline (in a good way) and really took the movie beyond my imagination of what it could be. However it sorta ended like Grudge, where I really lose hope because the monster is like invincible. I didn't even go near Quarantine (it's pretty much blow-by-blow copy of REC 1 anyway so whats the point), and I look forward to REC 3 if there is ever one. I imagine something like 28 Days/Weeks Later, or maybe not because the script writer is way more creative than me! Must see, even better if straight after REC 1
