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.

Not as good as its predecessor, but only a notch below making it an enjoyable and honorable sequel. Go to Full Review Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle 07/23/2010

Multiplying the video-cams only dilutes the effect. Better to stick with one perspective. And see [Rec] first. Go to Full Review Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine 07/15/2010

Darrin G. @realwildchild76 Feb 28 Enjoyed this film as much as the original. See more Aadil M @RT69075013 Jan 25 A good follow-up to the original. The storyline was interesting but I was hoping for a couple more brutal scenes. See more Angelina T @AMMT101 Dec 22 A great sequel to Rec. A bit more underwhelming than the previous movie, but it's still very well made and allows the viewer to further understand what's going on. See more Christian K @ckacar Oct 21 Always glad for a good twist on a genre, Demon-possessed zombies was hinted at in the original but the full reveal here is still good. This franchise has been pretty dependable so far. See more Tamás V @vargatomi Jun 29 This movie is just really dumb and unlikable, making every element of the original movie worse by just shoving more of the same in your face, but in a simplistic and overblown way with zero subtlety, intrigue or nuance. See more James B @James_B Jun 20 Not as good as the first but REC 2 is still a fantastic sequel to the greatest zombie film. See more Read all reviews
