5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original, August 26, 2010

This review is from: [REC] 2 (DVD)

Wow. Rarely is a sequel actually better than the original. Especially in the Horror genre where cliches are prevalent and you can't scare people twice with the same tactic. [REC]2 succeeds in all these areas. By introducing more characters, with more action, and more points of view, it surpasses the original. Unlike other "shaky cam" horror movies, [Rec]2 requires the viewer to think after each sequence. Its a great movie. I'll be surprised if the third installment can beat this, although after the huge success of these movies, I think a third is inevitable. This DVD is great. The picture is crystal clear, and the subtitles are perfect. IT IS IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES. And the deleted scenes have English subtitles. I've seen other versions of this movie on DVD, and this is the only one with English subtitles on the deleted scenes. And to clear up any remaining confusion, the DVD is NTSC format and all-region so it will play in North America.

This review is from: [Rec] 2 (English Subtitled) (Amazon Instant Video)

I had low expectations story wise for this sequel. I loved the first film. REC 2 takes us through familiar territory for about a half-hour: lots of searching the building. However, there is a religious element to the film that I thought made it more interesting instead of being tacked on. This movie (I state this I think without ruining the film) physiologizes (if that's a word) religious prophecies into an action movie. Very well done. After the religious undertones are established, the plot remains pretty predictable until the last few minutes. The characters again confront the skinny girl from REC using nightvision, but once that scene is established, it takes a surprising and interesting turn.

If you liked the first film, you will enjoy this, but I have to say, considering the first half hour of the film moved in the same way REC did, as well as sort-of re-establishing REC's story, seeing REC before seeing REC 2 isn't a must. Still a great film and gets 5 stars from me.

This review is from: [Rec] 2 (DVD)

Set 15 minutes after the events of the first movie, Dr. Owen (Jonathan Mellor) and a SWAT team group armed with weapons and camera as they search for the blood of the possessed demonic girl that started the whole mess as they want to develope an antidote. However 3 teenagers and a fireman go through the sewer system from outside and are trapped in the building as they all must try to survive from a night of unholy terror as demons are waiting for blood.

Nicely made, chilling and gory sequel to 2007's Spanish horror classic "REC", Paco Plaza co-writer and director of the original returns. Yes the acting is over the top and not on par with the first movie, some say this sequel is inferior to the first movie but i disagree as i believe it's as excellent to the original movie which spawned a US remake called "Quarantine". The suspense is well put together and there are some surprises in store including more demons than ever, the ending has a nice twist to it and there are 2 more to go.

This movie is presented in Spanish with English subtitles with decent extras like deleted-extended scenes, behind the scenes featurettes, A walkthrough on the set, Press Conference from Spain and REC 2 on tour feature.
