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.

Rated: 4/5

Multiplying the video-cams only dilutes the effect. Better to stick with one perspective. And see [Rec] first.

Rated: 2.5/4

Deep Focus Review

Through all the twists and turns of plot and camera perspective, [Rec] 2 is simply too much excess to enjoy.

[Rec] 2 picks the best elements from the hectic original and puts together an even better film.

An explosion of information removes much of the raw terror from the premise.

Do lado de fora do prédio que está em quarentena no primeiro filme, é organizado um grupo para invadir e verificar como estão as pessoas lá dentro, além de participar de uma missão de resgate comandada por um médico. Dentro, eles logo percebem que é mais que uma epidemia e que há elementos sobrenaturais envolvidos também. Mas o pior são os segredos que envolvem o misterioso médico que os acompanha. Continuação da história do primeiro filme, agora usando de personagens que estão do lado de fora no bloqueio levantado em torno do prédio. A tensão e o elemento do found fottage do primeiro filme são bem mantidos e executados e aproveitam do gancho do primeiro filme, envolvendo possessão demoníaca à epidemia. Apesar de gostar de filmes de terror, essa junção entre a epidemia e possessão demoníaca acaba por soar um pouco demais para mim, o que me fez me perder um pouco. Outro detalhe ruim é a entrada de personagens novos desnecessários como o grupo de jovens, o policial e o pai da menininha. A forma deles entrarem foi um pouco forçada. A utilização de clichês aumentou nesse filme, de tal forma que muitas cenas já estavam telegrafadas. Mas mesmo com tudo isso contra, é uma boa sequência que ainda honra o filme original.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

"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.

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.

Thrills and spills galore. A brilliantly suitable sequel to the excellent first that holds it's own throughout.
