I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreA sequel to a horror movie as good as REC is a tall order. I myself went in with very low expectations. REC is simply one of the greatest zombie and found footage films of all time. But I was pleasantly surprised by this sequel. Like HALLOWEEN 2 or BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, this picks up the instant the original left off. Sometimes this tactic doesn't work, like in QUANTUM OF SOLACE, but here it drops you right into the action in familiar environs and the tension never lets up. In short, if you liked the original, then you'll like REC 2.
... View MoreWith these films, I don't want to give away TOO many details in case the person reading this review hasn't seen it yet.While the first film relied heavily on atmosphere and telling a story through unfolding horrific events, building up to the last 10 minutes which exposed a huge amount of explanation while remaining some of the most intense moments in horror history.Rec 2 follows a similar pattern but spends more time expanding on the previous film's climactic ending throughout the film. The thrills take only a slight backseat at times to divulge a nice amount of exposition. This approach is actually slightly superior story-wise, but makes it slightly inferior to the original. However, both films stand as equal on quality level and are worth being viewed as 1 competent, coherent story among chaos.Unfortunately, the American bastardization of the original was followed by a sequel that holds nothing to this film, but that's another rant for another IMDb review.Overall, this is a 9/10. Near perfection for the horror genre, which saw an inspiring dose of revitalization in Europe after 2000.
... View Morei made an account just to review this movie. and to all the hardcore horror fans out there that like found footage films like VHS, paranormal activity, grave encounters... this film is for you. It's full of suspense! the first one was amazing but this sequel really made me horrified. I don't usually give low-budget horror movies a try but the cast and crew really gave their all to make a horror movie. I would definitely put this movie on one of the top notch found footage movies like VHS. the storyline just meshes well with the first one and makes it a plausible film to watch. the shooting of first-person makes it feel like your on a roller coaster ride of a horror video game!
... View MoreI read a lot of people talking about the change of science from REC to religion, but let me ask you one thing: Are you guys insane?The first film showed us the beginning of the virus, nobody knows his origins. During the film, we saw that behaves similar to zombies, insanity, bites, attack anything in their way, till here it's OK you guys thought that this film is another movie about zombies, but the story is much more complicated than that and the answers only come at the end:The girl who was possessed by the demon is in the building and she started all of this, it's here that we discover that they are not zombies, but people who were possessed. Please, stop acting like if the second movie has changed everything that the first one said. This is different than anything before, it's not a boring story about demons, it's brilliant.
