REC - Watch Order: Essential Films
This curated watch list focuses on the core REC experience through the two films that form the heart of the franchise. REC establishes the terrifying apartment building outbreak with reporter Ángela Vidal, while [REC]² immediately continues her story, revealing the true nature of the infection.
These two films are directly connected with [REC]² picking up minutes after the first film ends, creating an intense and cohesive horror experience, without getting into the weaker sequels.
