REC 2(2009)The action continues from [Rec] (2007), with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation For more about REC 2 and the REC 2 Blu-ray release, see REC 2 Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on April 28, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Directors: Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza Writers: Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza, Manu Díez Starring: Manuela Velasco, Oscar Zafra, Javier Botet, Ferran Terraza, Jonathan Mellor, Pablo Rosso Producer: Julio Fernández » See full cast & crew REC 2 Blu-ray, Video QualityREC 2's 1080p picture quality is more stable and improved from the first film. The camera used seems to be of higher quality and yields a firmer, more capable, more confident presentation yet one that still maintains the same photographic structure and core aesthetic that was such a key ingredient in the first film. Clarity is more reliable here and even while the jerky camera motions remain there's no denying the improved visual clarity and finer detailing, even in poor light with the film often lit from few light sources and primarily one right at camera's position. In the best case scenario – such as the opening moments inside the police vehicle – core definition to faces, the black GEO uniforms, and little odds and ends inside the vehicle are sharp and precise. At worst in the darkest locations where everything is dim and dark the picture understandably loses some stability but makes up for it in sheer atmosphere. Superior coloration is in evidence, too. Bright red blood, yellow safety vests, even skin against the black GEO uniforms enjoy fruitful tonal output. Still, most of the movie is dark and without much opportunity for all but the most intense colors, like those just mentioned, to make an impact. The film isn't concerned with anything but atmosphere and, aesthetically and narratively, it's the darker the better. But the Blu-ray handles it well, keeping noise in check, black levels rather deep and true, and compression issues minimal. This is not a traditionally "good looking" Blu-ray but that it reflects the original content rightly earns it high marks. REC 2 Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Spanish language DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack carries the film's sonic content well. As with the first film listeners should be ready to extend it some grace. It's not meant to reflect a finely engineered Hollywood listening experience but more the somewhat unkempt and raw sound effects as captured by the cameraman throughout the building. But core clarity and overall quality are excellent in this light. Spatial awareness is often exacting both outside the building and within its blood-soaked walls. In the opening scenes there's a satisfying swirl of honking horns, helicopters flying overhead, chatty crowds and even a barking dog setting the stage for the bustle taking place outside. That is countered by some eerie interior atmosphere heard in corridors and stairways and rooms. There's a sense of sonic dread with drips and creaking doors and even heavy breathing and nervous footfalls which frequently give way to screams – of possessed souls and terrified humans alike – which are sharp and cutting. Gunfire is deep and dominant and seems realistic in its hard-hitting depth within the enclosed spaces. Dialogue is clear and center positioned for the duration. Optional English subtitles default to "on" in support of the native Spanish language track. Blu-ray Bundles/Box Sets with REC 2 (1 bundle)
