The original Spanish release [REC] (2007) was a powerhouse shocker, one of the best horror release of the decade and it's subsequent US remake 'Quarantine' (2009) was no slouch either with no dumbing down for a new audience keeping all the visceral terror of the original, so, a follow up sequel....a cheap cash in?
Thankfully the answer is a resounding 'NO', following on from events in the first movie and again directed by Plaza & Balaguero, [REC] 2 is just as scary, gory and claustrophobic as it's predecessor, this time we learn more about the 'infection' and the film takes a slightly different direction than you might expect.
Two more films are planned in the next few years [REC] Genesis and [REC] Apocalypse.....I'll be in the front row. (well my Sofa only has one row)
