In terms of horror sequels, it does a few things better than it's predecessor, but I still prefer the first one. The only thing I thought was wrong with the original was the shaky-cam, and thankfully that's downplayed in this. Except for the kid's camera sequence, the camera's held slightly steady, it shakes during action scenes, but other than that you can tell the directors actually put effort into this. It's not just a lazy cash-in like other sequels. The biggest problem the movie has is that it feels like it has to tie up loose ends from the first movie. Did you want to follow the dad that couldn't get in during the first movie? No? Well that sucks because a third of the movie is centered around him. The iconic ending to the first movie is also kind of spoiled in this, instead of like a radical mutation of rabies, we have demon possessed zombies. Now demon possession can be creepy, but I'm pretty sure Satan can't be transferred through the exchange of bodily fluids. The demonic zombie twist is certainly unique, but I wouldn't say it's a good twist. They tried to do something different with this, and I can respect that, but I think I'll just stick to the first movie if I want to see another one of these again.

(46%) One of the less awful found footage movies that has a decent pace to it, and more than its fair share of zombie based terror. It opens quite strongly as it follows a swat group en route to the apartment block from the first movie likened to the raid, and even though here the group's tactics leave a lot to be desired (they go strait to the top floor without cheeking the others which is a great way of getting killed). But once the second chapter comes round following three kids getting up to no good then it starts to loose focus and the movie's camera movements gets too shaky for it to be watchable at times. Besides the repeating use of more or less the same scares, its throwaway nature, and the eye ruining camera movements, this is worth a look for most horror fans, and maybe the best found footage flick I've seen.

So it starts as a laughably bad sequel and instantly you think to yourself "They dropped the ball on this one. REC 1 was great, this one has SWAT going into the building, it's going to be really chill." (<-Not spoiler, that's the first thing you see in the film.) Trust the creators. As the film goes on, the main characters, the plan and progression and events are completely changed and suddenly you sit there, curled up in a ball, a baseball bat in your hand, lights on everywhere and Pokemon playing on your laptop.It's terrifying. It keeps the heart of the first film but ups everything a notch. One of the few, rare, excellent sequels.Great atmosphere, great acting (seriously, great acting, it's stupidly easy to believe them) and great execution.9/10 because I had to keep the lights on for 2 days in a row and couldn't sleep. And because it is a bit too supernatural for my linking.For reference, The Ring made me flinch twice. Good film, just not as scary as this one.

I read a lot of people talking about the change of science from REC to religion, but let me ask you one thing: Are you guys insane?The first film showed us the beginning of the virus, nobody knows his origins. During the film, we saw that behaves similar to zombies, insanity, bites, attack anything in their way, till here it's OK you guys thought that this film is another movie about zombies, but the story is much more complicated than that and the answers only come at the end:The girl who was possessed by the demon is in the building and she started all of this, it's here that we discover that they are not zombies, but people who were possessed. Please, stop acting like if the second movie has changed everything that the first one said. This is different than anything before, it's not a boring story about demons, it's brilliant.
