I watched this on On Demand last week and was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it more than the first one (I actually enjoyed Quarantine more than [REC], probably because I saw it first and then realized [REC] was almost shot-for-shot). There are a few really effective, creepy set pieces but the last act is some of the scariest stuff I have seen in a long time. My girlfriend couldn't sleep all night. I would highly recommend you spend the $10 to see it early. Watching it at home might even be better as it has the same hand-held feel as the other one; makes it more intimate and perhaps a tad more convincing.
Watched this last week and thought it was awesome. Such a great continuation/alternative POV to the REC story. Can't wait for REC: Genesis and REC: Apocalypse, although it's gonna be a year or so...
I almost went ahead and rented this On Demand the other night, but I'm still holding out for the theatrical release.
I bought the DVD from DiabolikDVD for $12.99 plus shipping. The DVD comes in a slim case and the quality is excellent. I liked the movie alot. Very Bloody and suspenseful with some added twists. The camerawork is much better this time, although part 2 is missing the originality of REC. A more than worthy sequel, and I'm ready for part 3!
I will see all of these in the theatre. When I actually buy a home vid format, it will hopefully be the full series on Blu. A boxset would be swell.
This starts playing at the Brattle Theater here in Cambridge on July 16. I'm definitely gonna be there.
It was the subtitled version. I'm keeping it on the DVR in case I don't get a chance to see it in the theater.
Holy shit I just watched this [REC] 2, alone, at night and completely in the dark. I had goosebumps the whole fucking time LOL. Such an effective movie. Man...I thought I loved the first one. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Just a brutal nonstop flick. LOVED IT! I had read nothing about this sequel before I saw it. The entire possession plot was absolutely great to me. Totally fresh in my eyes. I loved the fact that they turned out to be possessed instead of being zombies. man oh man...gotta watch this one again for sure.
Just wait for [REC]3 and [REC]4... [REC]3 will be a prequel about the Medeiros girl and how she was taken to the building. [REC]4 will be a direct sequel to [REC]2 with the outbreak on the city filmed by the news crew of a major Spanish tv station.
finally has a dvd release date for usa it is coming from sony on july 12th link here http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/44157/rec-2-finally-hits-dvd-stateside
After all this time the US is only going to get a DVD release? I know it's the same deal with the first one but still, this is pretty lame.
i wonder if they recorded an english dub track for the region 1 release maybe that is why it took forever to be released here in the usa???
