Having seen the first installment just last week, I was frightened to think of the many ways that the writers/directors of this film could screw it up in a sequel. But I have to say that I am almost entirely satisfied with the premise, the mechanics, and the twists it takes to continue telling the same tale. Although it picks up five minutes after the conclusion of [REC], with the same first-person camera work, the film has a very different feel while being part of a small, happy family. I do just wish this second installment had the decisive conclusion of the first so it didn't feel quite as made-for-sequel ready.
[REC] 2
2009, 85 minutes, directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza
