Somethings are meant to be forgotten, or are meant to be a "mystery" - Horror/paranormal films. No matter how unlogical or stupid that thing turn out to be, never ever think of those scene and storyline again! same case goes to REC2 as well as Paranormal Activities, BUT NOT ju-on lah hor.
Watched REC2 last sunday, but some scenes still "glued" in my mind, unable to remove. The Sequel (REC2) is not really as great as REC. But the "fear factor" is still there, just that some parts are very questionable. But eventually, after a few days, I finally get it.
For example, these "zombies" also got the idea of "kuey Seeo" (crowd around). They like to "storm" in together and appear in almost every pixels of the movie screen. On other occasions u can hardly find any zombie. At first I dun quite like this idea, they should have spread around. But after some thoughts, I think it is quite true and supposed to be like that lah. Let alone insects and animals, humans are also sort of "kuey seeo" living thing. Moreover these zombies are actually "transformed" from human, so they still got this "kuey seoo" mindset. Of course not all zombies will like to kuey seoo, some will still leave in their own world such as the mother of that kid(jennifer), making coffee dunno for who and for what (this part i still dun get it, how come zombies still can make coffee, maybe spanish ppl got different point of view).
Somewhere during the front part of the movie, a SWOT team member said "This place is too quiet, something is not right". This point has somehow prove the idea of "kuey seoo-ness". If these zombies had spread around in every corner, that place would not have create a creepiness to these SWOT personnel and they would not have been able to get into the penthouse. This is what we call "calm before the sea".
Another questionable part is... why that "zombie" thing still able to touch and hit normal people when it is only possible to spot it using a night vision camera. Well, at firs I also dun get the idea. But now i finally know liao lah. It is "阿飘"! Put it in another way, you can say it is poltergeist. When things move by themselve, suddenly got ppl stroke you, you hear funny noise... dun dare to continue liao! goosebumps! proceeds with my ratings.
