Rec 2 movie ending
By then my suspension of disbelief was all over the place and pushing to the very limits I can afford (and, trust me, I’m usually ready to go a long, long way when it comes to believing unbelievable things). And so we get to the film’s final chunk, the point where both narratives join and we meet an unexpected character (well, maybe not so unexpected). The kids part -and those brats could really be annoying- brought the film closer to ‘s original idea, and farther from the ‘action flick’ mood. And that’s just the reason why I found the breaking of the narrative with the inclusion of the kids’ filming so refreshing. Unlike the first film, there’s no building up as far as dramatic tension goes, simply because the film already starts on a tense note, and tries to sustain the tension in a forced and unrealistic way. Maybe I just don’t like priests in films, who knows? There’s no mystery about the priest because it seems clear right from the start (at least to me it was clear) that he is not what he claims to be, and knows a bit too much about things he shouldn’t know at all. I know most people may well disagree with me about this, but I don’t really care. That cast, at least, a much needed gust of fresh air into the movie and definitely saved it from drowning in the edgy serious stuff delivered by the policemen and the horrendous priest. Contrary to the widely spread opinion, I really enjoyed the kids amateurish filming and acting. But the actors and their dialogues, especially in the first half of the film, are simply forced, substandard and, sadly, overacted as hell. The concept, though not as brilliant as ‘s, has still some interest and is moderately intriguing. The story starts a few minutes after the last sequence in. And they certainly deliver… only I didn’t expect they’d try so hard. The directors are telling you: an action movie by an action team is what you should expect, ’cause that’s what we’re gonna give you. That, in itself, is a declaration of principles.

Some of the policemen are joking, but there’s an obvious tense vibe all around, and it’s clear from the very beginning that these people are professionally trained in military techniques (they’re no firemen or tv reporters). A big red eye on a black background is clearly shouting the word ‘horror’ at your face, right? Wrong! The film starts depicting a group of GEOS (a special operations group in the Spanish Police Corps), on their way to the building where the events in the previous film took place. The image in the poster is, actually, a pathetically blatant step towards cheating the potential audience for the film. The promotional poster for the film fooled me. That’s why I felt so utterly disappointed when I left the theatre. I don’t really think it’s a horror film at all. 2, in spite of the many flaws I’ll mention later, is a decent action film with some horror notes scattered here and there. My unredeemable devotion for unusual takes on cinema genres actually harkens back to Von Trier’s The idiots and the heyday of the DOGMA decalogue, but that’s another story I’ll talk about some other time. No more werewolves, no more overacting draculas, no more pathetic ghosts…. Dos Passo’s ‘camera eye’ had finally taken form in a visual medium for me, and I couldn’t help but rejoice after coming across such an unexpected plot twist in my wretched life. The fear that exhales the ordinary, the day-to-day vulgar actions, dialogues and characters one can find everywhere, the routine of a pointless life seen through the lens of an amateurish camera…. Yes, a lot was revealed to me when I saw both films, but what stood out the most was the fact that a new approach to horror could be effectively used, one I could totally relate to and identify with.
I went through a similar cathartic revelation when I saw The Blair Witch Project, back in 1999. was, and still is, one of my favourite horror flicks of all time, one of the very few that managed to genuinely frighten me, and make me feel (again) afraid of the dark, and have nightmares, etc.
I just wanted to see what seemed to be an interesting sequel to a great horror film. I didn’t come to see this film with any previous thought, aside from the fading memory of the first film ( ) itself.
