Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release [Rec] 2, the horrifying sequel to the international smash hit that inspired the film Quarantine, on DVD July 12, 2011. After terrifying audiences with their nerve-shredding cult hit [REC], acclaimed filmmaker Jaume Balagueró (Darkness; Fragile) and writer/filmmaker Paco Plaza (Quarantine, Quarantine 2: Terminal, Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt) return to crank the fear factor to unprecedented levels in [REC] 2, a rare sequel that actually improves on its predecessor and exceeds all expectations.

[REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes after the original left off, going back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus runs rampant. What is found inside lies beyond the scope of medical science – a demonic nightmare more terrifying than they could possibly imagine. No Blu-Ray has been announced yet. DVD Special Features include:

– Deleted and Extended Scenes
– Behind the Scene Featurettes
– A Walkthrough of the Set
– [REC] 2 on Tour
– Sitges Film Festival Press Conference

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.

If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
