[Rec] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus runs rampant. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science---a demonic nightmare more terrifying than they could possibly imagine.
[Rec] 2 is one of those rare sequels that people genuinely like. It's almost an improvement on its predecessor, utilizing a new and original way to "record" the action without going over the top and becoming redundant. There's none of that, "Yeah...but who would continue holding a camera when you're being attacked by a zombie?" business, that seems to be the number one complaint of the hand held era. By using fancy Swat team cameras attached to helmets, that also allow for the hub to "cut...

The Plot: The final chapter of the Harry Potter franchise. Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue in their quest to find and destroy the Dark Lord’s three remaining Horcruxes
The Buzz: We’ve been following these spell-casters around now for just over a decade, and it’s hard to believe that their journey is coming to a close. It’s been interesting to see Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint grow up on screen. I’ve personally found these films to be more and more palatable as the kids have moved on through the years, and have therefore found each...

Directed by: Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza
Written by: Jaume Balagueró, Manu Díez, Paco Plaza
Cast: Jonathan Mellor, Manuela Velasco, Óscar Zafra, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca, Pablo Rosso, Pep Molina
There are many films that utilize demonic possession as a central theme, but less common are the ones in which entire mobs of demonic undead spring up to storm the streets. Lamberto Bava's Demons and Demons 2 come to mind as suitable examples. The Evil Dead films also fit the bill, as does John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. There are more, up to and including 2007's [Rec], a film about a deadly viral possession that differs from the many others in its sub-genre in one important way; instead of being the campy fun that is Evil Dead or Demons, [Rec] was intended to scare the crap out of you. For many, it worked, and those who enjoyed [Rec] should get ready as [Rec] 2 is just as effective.

This the review of Rec 2, directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, starring Jonathan Mellor , Manuela Velasco, Óscar Zafra, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca, Pablo Rosso and Ferran Terraza. The 2007 Spanish movie Rec was – without doubt – one of the best horror films of the decade. Hollywood was impressed enough to produce an English-language version, but as is so often the way, something got lost in the translation, and Quarantine (2008) sank without much trace… leaving Rec-heads eagerly awaiting this sequel from the original Spanish production team.
