Critics Consensus

It lacks the surprising jolt of the first installment, but [REC] 2 almost maintains the original's chilling momentum -- and proves not all horror sequels were made equal.

4/5

Not as good as its predecessor, but only a notch below making it an enjoyable and honorable sequel.

Multiplying the video-cams only dilutes the effect. Better to stick with one perspective. And see [Rec] first.

Takes all of your expectations and throws them out the window, only to deliver us something even better than what we hoped for.

Through all the twists and turns of plot and camera perspective, [Rec] 2 is simply too much excess to enjoy.

[Rec] 2 picks the best elements from the hectic original and puts together an even better film.

A good follow-up to the original. The storyline was interesting but I was hoping for a couple more brutal scenes.

A great sequel to Rec. A bit more underwhelming than the previous movie, but it's still very well made and allows the viewer to further understand what's going on.

Always glad for a good twist on a genre, Demon-possessed zombies was hinted at in the original but the full reveal here is still good. This franchise has been pretty dependable so far.

This movie is just really dumb and unlikable, making every element of the original movie worse by just shoving more of the same in your face, but in a simplistic and overblown way with zero subtlety, intrigue or nuance.

Not as good as the first but REC 2 is still a fantastic sequel to the greatest zombie film.

O roteiro desse filme é expositivo, perda maior parte do horror do primeiro, mas ainda serve.
