      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      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.

      matthias s "Rec 2" is a horror film that falls short of expectations. While the first "Rec" movie was thrilling and suspenseful, this sequel fails to capture the same level of intensity. The plot feels convoluted and confusing at times, with too many characters wich makes stupid decisions and subplots to keep track of. The scares are also predictable, relying on cheap jump scares rather than building a sense of dread. "Rec 2" is a disappointing follow-up to its predecessor and not worth the time for fans of the horror genre. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Actually reviewing the first REC, but can’t find it on Flixster, so leaving this review here. It’s fine, a pretty good take on the found footage horror style, but doesn’t break much new ground. After a while the scares get repetitive. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review L S Thrills and spills galore. A brilliantly suitable sequel to the excellent first that holds it's own throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review James L Too whacky and not as serious as the first one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Gage A It feels like resident evil but with same story in the first one, but it has a few problems on it 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/22 Full Review jose b The movie definitely keeps you on your toes but heres my bad movie reasoning. A swat team cameraman does absolutely nothing the entire movie in terms of assisting the team during "conflicts" with the "demonic" zombies. The man was useless. Had a swat cameraman provided more assistance (held a gun with one hand in the majority of the cases it was required) i would've rated it better or provided a better rating.

      Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend Not as good as its predecessor, but only a notch below making it an enjoyable and honorable sequel. Rated: 4/5 Aug 13, 2010 Full Review Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle Multiplying the video-cams only dilutes the effect. Better to stick with one perspective. And see [Rec] first. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 23, 2010 Full Review Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine The quality has deteriorated like a dubbed VHS. Rated: 2/5 Jul 15, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Through all the twists and turns of plot and camera perspective, [Rec] 2 is simply too much excess to enjoy. Rated: 2/4 Aug 18, 2023 Full Review David Harris Spectrum Culture [Rec] 2 picks the best elements from the hectic original and puts together an even better film. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy An explosion of information removes much of the raw terror from the premise. Rated: 2/4 Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
