Review Tuesday: P2 (2007)

 

P2

When a beautiful business-woman catches the attention of a lonely parking attendant, he focuses his obsession on her so they may spend Christmas together. 

This is another movie Mrs. Baxojayz selected. It's always odd watching a Christmas-time during the summer, but what can you do?

It starts on Christmas Eve. Angela (Rachel Nichols) is working later than she would like to get some work done before the long weekend. One coworker came in to check in on her and apologized for his behavior in the elevator while he was drunk. She waved it off and went back to work. She NEEDED to get done because she had family waiting for her for a Christmas Eve celebration. By the time she closes up shop, the building is empty except for the security guard and the creepy parking attendant.

OF COURSE her car wouldn't start. She asked the attendant for help but it didn't help. He invited her to join him in his office, maybe for a bite and a drink? She had a sip a wine, then awoke some time later wearing a slinky, revealing, low-cut cocktail dress. Naturally, her first thought was, how did it get in this dress and why am I chained to table. Once the attendant, Thomas (expertly played in super creep mode by Wes Bentley), began to explain his lunatic intentions, she knew she had better find a way out of this situation or she WILL end up dead. 

The movie is loaded with all sorts of strange twists and turns. You WILL say on multiple occasions, how the HELL could that have happened? Or, WHY would she do THAT? But it's kind of fun as Angela attempts to outsmart her captor time and again. Let's not forget to mention that Rachel Nichols looks amazing running around trying to avoid this dude with her crazy huge jugs popping out. It's hard to ogle a woman in distress, but she makes it a little easier to do. A little. 

If you like stalker horror, this might do the trick for you.
