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.

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

Tamás V 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review James B Not as good as the first but REC 2 is still a fantastic sequel to the greatest zombie film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review João V O roteiro desse filme é expositivo, perda maior parte do horror do primeiro, mas ainda serve. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review CHRISTOPHER B Juré que la secuela iba a decaer mucho por las reseñas y notas que tiene, pero DIOS que película tan perfecta, justo pasó lo único que esperaba de esto, un lore más profundo y muy bueno sobre el tema de la brujería. Hay muy pocas secuelas que mantiene la esencia de la primera pero esto realmente lo hizo e incluso diría que lo Iguala, todo está demasiado bien pensado y se nota que ya se tiene una historia en mente para seguir. Me encantó la manera de meter la cámara como si fuera parte de la historia, cada escena me hace sentir como si lo viviera yo. En cuanto salió Angela me pregunté cómo es que sobrevivió y ver ese final me sorprendió mucho, que historia tan buena. Me acabo de volver un gran fan de esta saga, a seguir con las otras dos y la versión inglesa. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, o filme ainda tem boas cenas de terror, mas não evolui tanto com a adição de novos personagens, o primeiro filme ainda é melhor, mas até que vale a pena assistir. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Emil P It isn't as good as [●REC], but it's not bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
