10 Best Horror Movie Sequels

5. REC 2

Evil Dead 2
Magnolia Pictures

Continuing straight on from the original film's established setting, REC 2 shows us exactly what happened the fateful evening Angela was attacked in the attic, after an outbreak of a zombie-like virus had taken over a local fire station and trapped her television crew inside.

Utilising the same concept but with new characters, perspectives, and audience expectation, REC 2 successfully built right on top of the world it had created and made something both the same and different - perfectly balancing features of the original with new, horrifying discoveries.

Whilst the third movie didn't quite know what to do with itself, the original REC was adapted for American audiences into Quarantine, a shot-by-shot remake that was followed up with a new original story in Quarantine 2 - which coincidentally, is a sequel much better than its unnessecary predessecor.
