[REC]²

[REC]² picks up shortly after the events of the first film, in the same quarantined Barcelona apartment building where an outbreak has turned residents into violent, flesh-hungry attackers. A special forces squad, accompanied by a medical officer and equipped with helmet cameras, enters the sealed building to assess the situation and obtain samples from the infected. The mission is complicated by the presence of a doctor with his own agenda, by three teenagers and others who slip in through the sewers, and by the growing number of infected inside. The film continues the found-footage format of its predecessor.

Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza return as directors and co-writers, with Manu Díez joining them on the script. It is the fourth feature for Balagueró, following Darkness, Fragile and [REC], and the third for Plaza after Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt and [REC]. Manuela Velasco reprises her role as Ángela Vidal, alongside Jonathan D. Mellor, Óscar Zafra, Ariel Casas, Alejandro Casaseca and Pablo Rosso.

Made for about 6 million USD, the film took roughly 18 million USD worldwide. It holds a 6.5 rating on IMDb from around 84,000 votes and a 6.6 on TMDB from about 2,254 votes, while a critics' score of 6.4 from 72 reviews places it close to the audience average.
