P2: Sem Saída

Woman working late on Christmas eve is trapped by a psycho security guard in her office parking garage. Better than this has any right to be, this is actually a good little thriller. Psycho stalker films are not my cup of tea, but this one is actually pretty good thanks to a sense of humor, sense of horror, and a sense of place. if you've ever been in a garage you'll feel right at home at being uneasy. The director was an actor in the French horror film High Tension a film that I thought fell apart in the end, Here he's taken what worked in the earlier film and manages to make it work all the way to the end. If I have any real complaint is that the film is probably much longer than it should be, still if you like this sort of thing you're sure to be pleased.

I looked this movie quite a bit. I've always seemed to enjoy this weird little movies with 2-3 people trapped in something. This one was very good. A bit of gore, a bit of violence, a bit of suspence, and a great rack on the lead actress. Would definitely recommend that you watch it off your a horror fan.

I admit, I'm usually rough on many horror movies that come out nowadays, because...well...they suck. "P2," on the other hand, has many exciting moments and I was engaged the whole way through. The acting is solid. The actress who plays the lead does a great job at conveying real terror. I also like that she wasn't the typical big-breasted female lead who seems ripped from the pages of Maxim magazine. She is attractive, yes, but not your traditional Hollywood beauty, who's cast simply so she can have a scene where she's taking a shower and has to flee from the villain naked, with her gargantuan boobs bouncing in close-up. I loved Wes Bentley in "American Beauty," and was quite disappointed to find out that he fell off the radar after delivering that great performance as Ricky Fits. He would only pop up occasionally in braindead slasher flicks like "Soul Survivors." In "P2" he was given a chance to redeem himself, and that he did. He is a perfectly creepy villain, especially with those dark, piercing eyes. The movie is not without flaws. It has some of the expected fake scare moments and, without giving anything away, let's just say that I'm SURE it would take less than 20 minutes for the cops to show up after you make a 9-1-1 call. The filmmakers do a great job at setting up a creepy tone, starting off the film by playing "Santa Baby" over the opening credit sequence. That's ten times creepier than, say, playing a standard horror movie score. If you're sick and tired of many of the braindead teen slasher flicks that have been hitting theaters lately, this should come as a refreshing surprise. I think this film is sadly underrated.

It's a praiseworthy movie with intense scenes of apprehension and anxiety. The lead actress delivered a great performance and the whole spectrum of emotions. In addition, Wes Bentley brilliantly portrayed an insane and lonely lunatic who tortured and tormented the main character. I was hooked from the very beginning. Firstly, it seemed like a typical passable thriller, but then, it appeared to be very well-made and noble work. Highly recommended for those who are thirsty for a dynamic heart-pounding film.

This movie really kicked my butt, with one of the creepiest villains I've seen in a long time,, You may think a movie taking place almost completely in an underground parking garage would be limited, well it's not. The actors did a fantastic job of creating a seriously anxiety producing atmosphere that keeps you both engaged and entertained. If you enjoy seriously tense and creepy confrontational battles between a villain and his would-be victim who refuses to go down quietly then you cannot go wrong with adding this gem to your collection.
