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.

“AN EARLY LEADER FOR THIS YEAR’S MOST FRIGHTENING FEATURE. Put [REC] 2 at the top of your summer viewing list, hang on to something and enjoy.” – Fangoria
“A RARE ZOMBIE MOVIE WITH ACTUAL SCARES. The ideas introduced first time around are explored much more fully here to chilling effect.” Michael Ordona, LA Times
“A MODEST CLASSIC OF ITS KIND. A superior and innovative sequel to the original.” – Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
“’PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2’, CONSIDER YOUR ASS PRE-KICKED. Sequel-making at its best.” – Ray Pride, Chicago New City
“SCINTILLATING HORROR. The action is considerably scarier and more taut this time around.” – Nick Schager, Slant
“10 OUT OF 10! a reminder of how special movies can be. Not only is it as good as the original, it lays claim to its own unique place within the motion picture paradigm. It is a flawless follow-up, and that’s rare indeed.” – Bill Gibron, Popmatters

“It even adds new layers of chills. And the end is outlandishly creepy.” – Dennis Dermody, Paper
