What happens

Rec 2 (stylized as [•REC]²) is a 2009 Spanish found footage zombie film directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. It is a sequel to the 2007 film Rec and the second installment of the Rec film series. The story takes place immediately after the events of the first film and follows a team of soldiers assigned to protect a scientist supposedly sent to investigate the cause of the outbreak, but who clearly knows more about it than he claims. Several actors from the first film reprise their roles, mostly briefly appearing as infected versions of their characters. The film was followed by Rec 3: Genesis - the events of which take place concurrently with Rec and Rec 2 - and later by Rec 4: Apocalypse. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
