It lacks the surprising jolt of the first installment, but [REC] 2 almost maintains the original's chilling momentum -- and proves not all horror sequels were made equal.

Multiplying the video-cams only dilutes the effect. Better to stick with one perspective. And see [Rec] first. Jul 23, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Frantic from the get-go, this new crop of zombie bait barrels through shadowy hallways and fends off waxen, emaciated attackers with such hysterical speed it's impossible to know -- or care -- whose face has just been chomped. Jul 9, 2010 | Rating: 2/5

The shaky camera work (and explosive gore) can get literally nauseating. But when the characters' cameras run low, and the screen goes black? That's the scariest thing of all. Jul 9, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Unlike so many sequels, [REC] 2 builds nicely on the ideas introduced first time around; in particular, the nature and history of the disease, only touched on in the original, are explored much more fully here to chilling effect. Jul 8, 2010 | Rating: 4/5

There are fewer frightening moments [than the original], but the ones that do come are all the more frightening from the build-up of tension. May 18, 2018 | Full Review…

REC 2 is adequately claustrophobic and frightening and freaky, but the formula wears thin after a while-especially once they defang the first movie's mystery by explaining it. But if you're a sucker for utter panic, it'll do. Jan 11, 2018 | Full Review…

Where the first [REC] was a jump-and-scare flick that put you in the victim's point of view, [REC]2 takes things a little further. Sep 10, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Not as fresh or frightfully exciting as the first film, but certainly scary, occasionally inventive and almost always enjoyable. Jan 29, 2012 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The film gets a lot of mileage from its concept of seeing things only through the soldiers' helmet-mounted cameras, but the plot also develops in some surprising directions. Sep 9, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
