Thank the Gods for Magnet Releasing. While Sony Home Entertainment dumped REC on DVD (not even Blu-ray), Magnet is giving Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza’s high octane Spanish-language sequel REC 2 (review) an HD VOD release on June 4th followed by a limited theatrical run (the best way to see it) on July 9. Gearing up for the release, inside you’ll find the first clip that features a possessed/infected attack and the host’s fiery death via police flare. Visit the film’s official website for more.
“The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science–a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside.”
