description [REC] 2 Overview

[REC] 2 is a 2009 Spanish found-footage horror film co-written and co-directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. Serving as a direct sequel to the 2007 film [REC], the narrative picks up immediately after the events of the first film, following a SWAT team and a medical officer as they are sent back into the quarantined apartment building in Barcelona. Armed with night-vision cameras, the team soon discovers that the terrifying infection inside the building has demonic and supernatural origins rather than strictly medical ones. The film expands on the mythology of the original while maintaining its claustrophobic, real-time, first-person perspective.
