Rec 2

A few days ago, I decided to watch a scary horror movie by myself at night, which was such a bad idea coz I had a hard time sleeping. It was Rec 2; sequel to one of the greatest horror movie I've ever seen Rec If you haven't seen Rec, you really should even if you don't like horror movies that much. It is a brilliantly conceived, ridiculously effective horror film that will leave you gasping for air and begging for mercy. The movie tells the story using the camera crew's hand-held camera. It's a device that was used to great effect in Cloverfield and Romero's Diary of the Dead. But Rec did an amazing job because it felt very claustrophobic and scary.

I'm not gonna say too much but you should check it out. By the way, Quarantine was a knockoff from Rec, although Rec did much better interms of acting and action wise.

Ok, back to Rec 2. The story continues right after the first one ended, and we see a group of Swat team go inside the building to know what exactly is going on. Its a simple storyline and we don't get to know the characters much. But there were some moments where I actually jumped out of my seat. What's scary to me is when there's kids who turns into zombies or devils (they don't have a word for it in the movie) and comes running after you. The story is still told from the swat's hand-held camera, just like the first one.

I rank Rec as one of my favorite horror films of all time. But Rec 2 was a bit disappointing but overall entertaining and a good scary movie. If you wanna jump out of your seat, then this is definitely a movie for you. I give Rec 2 a 7 out of 10.

I'm thinking of watching Paranormal Activity in the next few days. I know, I'm like the only person in the world who hasn't seen it, even though I'm a horror fan. I'm just debating if I should watch it by myself or not.
