[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...

Rarely do horrorphiles get treated to sequels that match their originals and that answer lingering questions we may have once thought would be forever unanswered. When it comes to [Rec] 2, the follow-up to 2007’s widely well-regarded Spanish language [Rec], that’s still the case. Though the film starts well enough, adhering to the spirit and scares of the original, it’s unable to sustain the strength of the tension that opens it.

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.

Cops vs. zombies? I got zombies everytime. Check out two new clips from the Spanish horror sequel “Rec 2″ (via Yahoo! and IGN), from directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, and starring Manuela Velasco, Ferran Terraza, Ariel Casas, David Vert, Alejandro Casaseca. The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [Rec] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed Swat team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science – a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside. Get Rec’ed July 9th,...

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.

[Rec]2

Stars: Jonathan Mellor, Pablo Rosso, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca, Ferran Terraza | Written and Directed by Jaume Balaguero & Paco Plaza

[Rec]2 continues where the original film left off, with a medical officer and Swat team outfitted with video cameras and sent into the sealed off apartment to control the ’situation’. This time round the story not only follows the Swat team, but also a rag-tag group of kids who sneak into the building for a look at just what’s going on… big mistake!

Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza return with the highly anticipated sequel to the well-recieved Rec and what many are calling the Aliens to originals Alien, and you can see why – much like Alien was the more scary film in the franchise, so is Rec. However [Rec]2 takes the lead from Aliens and pumps up the action and nerve-jangling suspense; and that’s not the only parallel. In [Rec]2 the ‘zombies’ (who aren’t actually zombies,...

Below we have the first six minutes from the Spanish horror film “Rec 2“

The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a Swat team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation.

The film is both written and directed by Spanish filmmakers Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. Starring Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, Ferran Terraza, Juli Fabregas, Pep Molina, Oscar Zafra, and Alejandro Casaseca.

“Rec “2 premiered at the 66th Venice International Film Festival, out of competition. It was also shown at the Midnight Madness portion of the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the 2009 Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, and the 2009 Sitges Film Festival. There’s still no word on an Us release date.

Four new Italian posters for “Rec 2“, starring Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, Ferran Terraza, Juli Fabregas, Pep Molina, Oscar Zafra, and Alejandro Casaseca, have hit the web.

The story takes place immediately after the events of the first film, with producing company Filmax International describing it as having “the same claustrophobic concept” as Rec but with “new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens.

Only a few minutes have passed since the authorities lost contact with the people trapped inside the quarantined building. Nobody knows exactly what’s going on inside. Outside, chaos reigns…

For the Special Operations Unit this is a seemingly straightforward mission to enter the building and analize the situation. But as we know, appearances can be deceiving.

The film is both written and directed by Spanish filmmakers Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.

From the same people who brought you the first teaser trailer for the Spanish horror sequel “Rec 2″, comes the second teaser trailer for “Rec 2″. See how that works? Makes perfect sense. Anyways, the second teaser trailer is just as bloody, if not more so than the first one. So yeah, if you got seasick with the first movie, I would suggest not entering the second one, because it appears the whole movie is once again shot from cameras, this time attached to the helmets of the tactical cops storming the apartment from the first movie. Starring Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, Ferran Terraza, Juli Fàbregas, Ana Isabel Velásquez, Alejandro Casaseca, Pep Molina, and Óscar Zafraand. Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.
