<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->This time the story is about a group of SWAT team members sent in with a Bio-hazard specialist to see if there are any survivors from the first film and to retrieve some valuable materials. However, there is a lot that the first film didn’t tell us, but appears to have been there all along.
There is nothing in the first film that is superfluous. Everything appearing in RECs final, terrifying moments is very, VERY important. What appears at first glance to be window dressing to make a zombie story seem a little creepier is in fact the set up to a brilliant twist on the story that changes EVERYTHING – making the first film instantly rewatchable. You feel as if you have to go back and see it again through new eyes, with a fresh understanding of a story that is much bigger and better than you ever thought it was. The aspects of the story that are fleshed out here change this series from simply being a creepy as fuck first person Zombie experience and takes it to new, terrifying levels.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That final sequence in [REC] was really well done -- I still get creeped out when I think about it. I'm looking forward to the sequel...I hope they don't mess it up.
