"Rec 2" , Spanish horror flick......good stuff and they set it up for a sequel. Haven't seen the original one though....

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G18Y-S8YrQ0]REC 2 - Official Trailer [HD] - YouTube[/ame]




Edit: Ah shiit.....had no idea that "Rec 3" has been out is coming out soon???

Watch the original, its far superior to REC 2.

The Spanish original obviously, not the American one.

 

[zerozero]

weird, I came here to recommend [rec] as well

the Rec 2 is much weaker

Rec 3 is probably trash
