“[Rec]²”.
Action, Adventure, Fantasy |
Rec 2 is a Spanish found footage zombie horror film sequel to 2007’s Rec and the second installment of the Rec film series. The film was written and directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, both of whom returned from the previous film. The story takes place immediately after the events of the first film.
Several actors from the first film reprise their roles, mostly briefly appearing as infected versions of their characters.
Dr. Owen, an official from the Ministry of Health, and a heavily armed GEO team of four equipped with video cameras are sent into a quarantined apartment building to control the situation. During the investigation, Martos is infected while encountering some of the possessed residents. Owen then uses religious mantra and a rosary to hold him off in a room. He reveals that he is actually a priest sent by the Vatican to get a blood sample from a possessed girl named Tristana Medeiros, the root of the infection.
The GEO operators search the apartment where Medeiros was held and find the body of Father Albelda, the original priest charged with the case of Medeiros’s possession. They then find a sample of Medeiros’s blood taken by Albelda, but lose it to Fernandez’s improper handling. Owen tells them that the only way to accomplish the mission now is to get a blood sample from Tristana herself. They are attacked by a group of infected, and Larra, separated from the others and cornered into a room, commits suicide.
