[Rec]² (2009)
6/10
A Good Sequel but Inferior to the Original Film
2 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The medical Dr. Owen (Jonathan Mellor) leads a three-men SWAT team inside the sealed off building to get blood sample from the girl Medeiros to develop an antidote. They are attacked by the zombie-like creatures and Dr. Owen locks a zombie inside a room using a crucifix. He discloses that the patient zero was possessed by the evil and the Vatican sent him to save mankind. Further, they will only leave the building under his voice command. Meanwhile, three teenagers follow a fireman and a man that breaks into the building through the sewage system to rescue his colleague and daughter respectively and they are trapped inside. They are lured and release the evil creature that was locked by Dr. Owen in a room. Out of the blue, the lead team meets the journalist Ângela Vidal (Manuela Velasco) hidden inside the building.

"Rec 2" is a good sequel of the 2007 "Rec" but inferior to the original film. The three teenagers are too stupid and they do not add anything but foolishness to the story. Further, the idea of an evil possession and a priest exorcising evil but needing the blood for an antidote seems to be inconsistent. The good point is the unexpected conclusion. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Rec 2"
