Four new Italian posters for “Rec 2“, starring Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, Ferran Terraza, Juli Fabregas, Pep Molina, Oscar Zafra, and Alejandro Casaseca, have hit the web.
The story takes place immediately after the events of the first film, with producing company Filmax International describing it as having “the same claustrophobic concept” as Rec but with “new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens.
Only a few minutes have passed since the authorities lost contact with the people trapped inside the quarantined building. Nobody knows exactly what’s going on inside. Outside, chaos reigns…
For the Special Operations Unit this is a seemingly straightforward mission to enter the building and analize the situation. But as we know, appearances can be deceiving.
The film is both written and directed by Spanish filmmakers Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.

From the same people who brought you the first teaser trailer for the Spanish horror sequel “Rec 2″, comes the second teaser trailer for “Rec 2″. See how that works? Makes perfect sense. Anyways, the second teaser trailer is just as bloody, if not more so than the first one. So yeah, if you got seasick with the first movie, I would suggest not entering the second one, because it appears the whole movie is once again shot from cameras, this time attached to the helmets of the tactical cops storming the apartment from the first movie. Starring Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, Ferran Terraza, Juli Fàbregas, Ana Isabel Velásquez, Alejandro Casaseca, Pep Molina, and Óscar Zafraand. Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. Via the “Rec 2″ official site. Thanks to reader Manuel for the heads up.

“Rec 2″ is the sequel to last year’s “Rec”, which was remade into the American movie “Quarantine”. As I hear it, the remake was a very faithful translation of the Spanish original, which was barely a year old when the remake hit theaters. The sequel to the Spanish original takes place a few hours after the events of the first film, and is set in the same apartment building where things, shall we say, went very badly. Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza, who did the first movie, are back again for the sequel. This time around, the cast includes Manuela Velasco, Leticia Dolera, and Juli Fàbregas. A brief but bloody-covered teaser trailer for the sequel below. (Via QuietEarth) It would appear they’re continuing the Cameraman’s Pov approach from the first movie. ———*———- Here’s the teaser poster in case you missed it:...
