[REC] 2

The spanish directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza bring the sequel to their first "[REC]" movie, and prepare for more shacky camera horror... and action.

"[REC] 2" is beyond the sequel concept, because the storyline happens some minutes (hours?) after the end of the first movie. This time there's a special operations team and a doctor who enter the building to find out more what's going on.

I prefered the first movie (although it wasn't all original) because the story was well paced, good acting and with a nice end (yes, it reminded me "The Blair Witch Project" ending).
The second movie disappointed me a little bit. The directors put too much attention on the gore part, more action and some lack of ideas on how to... scare. The characters don't convince much either. But there are some nice surprises too...

The movie opens in France in December, but I managed to go to the premiere in the presence of the directors. If you saw the first movie, maybe you could watch the sequel... but I think you can pass...



ps: this week opens the long waited "Paranormal Activity"... real chills are waiting ;-)
