Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

ThiefHott Too much of everything

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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.

BA_Harrison In terms of style, this sequel to Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's 2007 horror hit Rec is more of the same, with shaky POV camera-work, shadowy night vision scenes, and numerous mechanical jump scares, with just a touch of first-person shooter about it. However, I did enjoy this one marginally more than its predecessor thanks to a supernatural plot development that stops it from being just another predictable found-footage zombie/infected movie.In Rec², which continues where the first film left off, a heavily armed SWAT team enters the quarantined apartment building, accompanied by Ministry of Health representative Dr. Owen (Jonathan D. Mellor), in order to assess the situation. Once inside, it soon becomes apparent that Owen knows a lot more than he is letting on, and, when confronted by the soldiers, he spills the beans: he is a priest employed by the Vatican, and the outbreak is, in fact, a case of demonic possession spread through bodily fluids. His mission is to try and locate a blood sample taken from the girl who was first possessed in order to create an antidote.The first half of the film is told via the use of micro cameras mounted on the SWAT team's helmets, but halfway through, the action is replayed from the perspective of a group of teenagers who sneak into the building for a thrill. The introduction of Ángela (Manuela Velasco), the reporter from the original movie, allows for a further twist before the inevitable downbeat ending. Balagueró and Plaza keep the pace suitably frenetic and deliver some solid shocks and a few decent moments of splatter along the way (shotgun blasts to the head making quite the mess). They even throw in a bold sequence in which demonic 'doorways' are only visible through the use of night vision goggles (OK, OK, it didn't make a lot of sense, but I like the fact that they tried).Overall, not a vast improvement over the original, but still a move in the right direction. I'm interested to see where they take the franchise in REC³: Genesis.6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

Scarecrow-88 High energy sequel to the little found footage film that could, *Rec (2007) has the events of *Rec² following right after the original, with reporter Angela even returning towards the end. Exactly as the end closes, this is how the second film in the series opens: Angela, through the night vision lens of her camera, is being dragged away by a demon-possessed girl from our line of sight.This second film follows a type of SWAT team with orders directed by what they believe is a medical authority, but they are in for quite a surprise: he's actually a priest orchestrating a mission to attain blood from the first infected. What is soon learned by this GEO team from the priest is that the infection is actually demon possession, using the bodies of the apartment complex tenants as a host. Finding the girl to get her blood will be the tricky part after a vial discovered in a refrigerator hidden in a ventilation shaft is destroyed during an attack by a pack of infected tenants. Meanwhile a second alternating story involving three teenagers with a camera who sneak in through a sewer under the apartment complex eventually emerges with the first story of the GEO team and the priest. The trio meets up with a fireman and a tenant needing to get medicine to his daughter who are able to sneak into the building themselves, with all of them paying a major price for doing so. One of the teens gets bitten while the other two are put in a room. An accidental shooting to the face while trying to kill a possessed GEO team member who committed suicide prior to their arrival (barricaded in a bathroom as the infected tenants of that apartment tried to get in to kill him), the teenage girl with a gun pulling the trigger is just one of many shocking moments in this surprisingly unpredictable sequel.Yes, found footage typically doesn't leave anyone in front of the camera safe from a grim ending, but how *Rec² gets us there, using Angela as the catalyst, is quite a jaw-dropper. The head shots (one particularly of a child that crawls across ceilings and walls) can be quite stunning, while the first person cameras (especially on the helmets) give us a "what is lurking around the corner, behind that door, or down (or up) the stairs (or in the attic... Yikes!)" visual aesthetic, working especially well at planting in our minds a sense of when the infected will strike. When they do, there's this wholly unpleasant banshee screech and rabid thrust right at the camera. The decision of directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza to stay close to a video game "shooter" approach visually with the camera brings a "watch out!" personality to how the film plays out. It certainly worked for me! Angela, played by Manuela Velasco, becomes very important, quite crucial, to the series going forward, although she factors rather little in the entirety of the film (her final scene right before we see what truly happened to her after being dragged away in the first film, hovering over the body of the priest, is chilling). Still, I would have to say Angela is the character viewers won't soon forget after this film is over. Jaume and Paco know what they're doing: they're good at the turn of the screw and even if the demon possession theme is just about played out (thankfully no exorcism here, though), there are some creepy moments where victims under the control of evil fight tooth and nail with the priest trying to vanquish the infection before it spreads from out of the apartment complex. The nifty development of how darkness holds its own mysteries not seen in the light, and how night vision captures what cannot be seen otherwise produces its own share of thrilling moments as the outcome proves when the girl is defiant and wields a mean claw hammer. The look in Angela's eyes as she stares right into a fallen camera once on a helmet recording her handiwork on the priest is quite disturbing. It is one of those "it isn't over, but just getting started" dénouements. Probably the most unexpected moment is when fireworks are used on an infected tenant, as well as, the GEO officers firing upon an uninfected tenant, tossing him over the stairwell to the floor because of their fear he is a threat to them. I do think the sequel suffers from the case of remaining inside one location for an extended stay, but just due to the way the directors keep the action moving, those in the apartment complex constantly on the go due to the ongoing danger that surrounds them and remains to be seen, and how the infected are alarmingly feral once they set victims in their sights, *Rec² is a powerhouse, quite the successor to a really potent hit.

packor To me, Rec was a pretty good film. I also enjoyed Rec 2, but the directors' lack of knowledge or sense towards certain things really turned me off... Most of the issues revolve around how the SWAT team or the specialty units operate. The SWAT members are supposed to be exceptionally TRAINED officers, but they behave like children that got their hands on weapons and gadgets. Whenever they fire their weapons, they do NOT control their fire. They keep firing for seconds. Half the time they even spray it wildly, and even against a stationary target 3 feet away. He ran out of ammo after firing twice, and even that's unreal, because real SWAT members would not have only a single clip for their weapon.The other problem with the SWAT team was that they had no tactical knowledge. They repeatedly sent out one man scouts. It's not a war zone, there aren't any bombs around, and people are not going to ambush them with heavy firearms, or at least they weren't expecting any, or they wouldn't have sent only 4 people. You don't hold a huge staircase with 2 people and send someone 2 stories down into an apartment where there are plenty of rooms and doors around. These kind of places are where you send MORE people, because they're much more dangerous and hard to cover. Logically, they should have moved as a team and went in together, with someone covering the exit. You don't even need training to have that much sense.What's just as horrible is how these people enter rooms. They actually step inside while looking in one direction, and take 10 seconds to rotate around for a full sweep of the room. If there was anything there, they'd be long dead. I understand that it's for the sake of the camera view, but it's really irking to see SWAT men walk around like they're cameramen.Aside from the SWAT team, the enforcement units outside are also severely lacking. They're performing a large scale lockdown, and they failed to notice that there is an entryway through the sewers. Actually, the logic around that is completely flawed. The door enters directly to a stairway in the textile shop, zombies have been in the shop, and they're not stupid. They could easily have escaped and out to the sewers in the course of a whole 70 minutes.I managed to get past those annoying eyesores and go on with the movie, there's not much else I would complain about except for the night vision, and this mistake is repeated in all 3 of the Rec movies I've viewed. When night vision is activated, everyone can magically see, even though they're not looking through the camera. They flail around randomly to pretend like they can't, but they continually demonstrate that they have perfect situational awareness, and know exactly where everyone is. It's especially apparent when the camera man faces them and talk to them. They pretty much look directly at the camera and nod as if they can see.Despite all these flaws(and some I have not mentioned), this was a decent film. It wasn't really scary, but I did enjoy the story elements.
