[REC] ² [2009]

The sequel to the Spanish found footage film [REC] falls off it's feet right from the very get go, mostly due to the inane ending of it's predecessor.  
Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza both return to the roles of writers & directors, 15 minutes after the events of the first film so it's nice to have a bit of continuity. Halfway through the film it abruptly changes character focus on another group, which happens to be simultaneous with the first half of the film.  I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff, so it became a bit better from then on, still not enough to prevent some huge yawns.
