Soon they are forced to fight for their lives, as the virus slowly takes over the residents and firemen around them. The film was very positively received by critics. As of May 17, 2009, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 95% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 20 reviews. In 2008, [REC] was remade in America under the title Quarantine. In 2009 a sequel, [REC] 2, was released to generally positive reviews, with a "fresh" 69% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 61 reviews. The general consensus is that it's not as good as the first film, but it's still very good for a sequel. A new sequel and a prequel have been announced, called [REC] Génesis and [REC] Apocalipsis from the same writers and directors as the first two [REC] films. [REC] Génesis will take place before the first film, documenting the original infection/possession; the film will be released in March 2012. You can watch the first teaser trailer (in spanish) here. [REC] Apocalipsis will end the saga with the infection spreading to unknown proportions; the film has an expected release date of fall of 2012. Sure as hell not to be confused with the Anime entitled Rec (without brackets).
