Seems the Vatican had a genuine case of demonic possession locked up there - along with a priest who believed he could find a medical "antidote" to the curse. An interesting mix of modern style and ancient theology, this installment goes into detail on how the Barcelona building got overrun.
#Rec 2 movie full full#
"Quarantine" - about a locked-down apartment house full of rampaging cannibals - was actually based on a slightly earlier (and better) Spanish film, "(REC)." And now the original is back, with a sequel - and even more bloody violence. And most of them marred by some incredibly headache-inducing, herky-jerky camera work. 'REC 2' - the sequel to the Spanish hit - doesnt exactly bring anything new to the genre, but its no less effective than its predecessor in expertly conjuring an air of low-tech-style dread.
Since then, it's been followed by "Cloverfield," "Quarantine," "Paranormal Activity" and others, all populated by heroes trying to "document" something scary. The teenagers film the subsequent blood bath with. "The Blair Witch Project" did it first, in 1999. A group of teenagers break into a quarantined zone that has been besieged with demon-possessed zombies. (Brain-munching zombies were the last, courtesy of George Romero.) But it finally seems official that there's another subspecies of the style: The home-video horror.
It took 40 or so years to find a new sub-genre of monster movie.
