Fucking fantastic movies. Doesn't matter how you see this flick, find some way.
I'm assuming most of you have already seen pt. 1, but if you haven't here is the synopsis(courtesy of IMDB):
"The film follows a Spanish late-night television reporter, Ángela Vidal, through the lens of her cameraman, Pablo. During one report of the happenings in a local fire station in Barcelona, the duo follow a team of firefighters who get a call from an apartment building nearby about a trapped woman. When they arrive, they find the apartment's residents huddled in the lobby. They go upstairs to find a woman who is obviously distressed. What follows is a night that none of them will ever forget. Written by Adam Roeger - New Berlin, Wisconsin"
You make think this gives away a lot, but no. There is so much more to this movie. [REC 2] Takes place immediately where the first film ends. The story is expanded and new elements are added as we discover more of what happened on that night.
I want to discuss it, but to say too much would give it away. Again, IMDB provides us with the plot:
"The action continues from [Rec] (2007), with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation."
[Rec 2] was just as good as the original [Rec]. There were a few scenes where the movie dragged and I was not too keen on the reveal, but it not only was it well done overall, it fit the story and left the door open for a sequel.
If you're in the market for explosions or boobs, this is not the movie for you.
However, if you're in the market for a good international thriller that gets you directly into the action, I definitely recommend this series.
