A still from REC 2

Apparently the story picks up just after the end of the first film and seems to be using the same hand-held approach that made it so immediate. From the trailer, it also looks to be akin to an ALIEN – ALIENS sequel transition with more action, blood and thrills being the focus. The original [REC] was everything that DIARY OF THE DEAD should have been, with its hand-held camera style being used to full effect it created some truly unsettling moments. Based on this trailer, and the fact that it’s being made by the same Spanish team, [REC] 2 should be a worthy follow-up.

[REC] 2 is set for a US release sometime later this year.
