"The story being depicted elaborates on the original scenario and is endlessly intriguing. We only got a taste of the virus' demonic nature in the original and here, that concept is expanded in a frightening manner. This is no longer the story of crazed infected humans running around biting each other's faces off; it's a terrifying tale of deadly people being influenced by a demonic source... Balagueró and Plaza really know what they're doing. The continuation of their story is what keeps you intrigued, but it's the eeriness and constant need to be prepared for what's lurking around the corner that makes this film downright as horrifying as it is relentless. REC 2 it isn't as good as its predecessor, but only finds itself a notch below, making it an enjoyable and honorable sequel" - Perri Nemiroff, CinemaBlend
