    [Rec] 2 is a pell-mell, edge-of-your-seat, theme-park ride through hell, and I strongly advise you to ignore the aspersions cast upon it by snooty critics and random Internet fanboys alike. I am your friend, horror fans! I know what you need, and this is it. Read full review

    Predictably, [REC] 2 is higher-budgeted than its barebones predecessor, which only means that the spectacular degradation of video in scenes where the zombies get in close and start chomping will test the limits of any HDTV. If only [REC] 2's rabid baddies knew how to push [STOP]. Read full review

    A sequel to the Spanish cult hit that offers an explanation for something that was far more effective when left largely unexplained. Read full review

    As it turns out, what's going on is yet another cinematic rip-off, this time of "The Exorcist." Apparently rec stands not for record but for recycle Read full review

    This Spanish sequel to a 2007 cult hit uses the way-overdone conceit of videotaped terror. Read full review
