A SPOOKY PARKING GARAGE

P2

Do you work late at night? What do you feel going into the spooky dark parking lot all alone? Do you look outside once you are inside the car? What if terror awaits you in that creepy garage located at the basement of your building? P2 is a film about a Christmas horror set in a parking garage. This is a little masterpiece to enjoy and maybe scream!

The story of P2 happens on Christmas Eve. Angela played by Rachel Nichols, I remember her as the sexy girl in the remake of The Amytyville Horror, is working late. She's the last one to leave the building but her car won't start. Why not take the subway instead??? But we won't have a film right? So she asks for help from Tom played by Wes Bentley, the parking garage security guard, but turns out to be her stalker. Can she survive and defeat the craziness of her creepy bloody admirer?

If you are familiar with the style of Scream & I Know What You Did Last Summer, this is just the same but with a strange concept. They make the parking garage so creepy. There is still tension in the movie. I wasn't shouting like hell but sometimes my heart was pounding. Some gory scenes are really disturbing. This is not good for kids by the way. Since the parking garage is only a small place to play hide & seek, our heroine is just running from one level to another then comes down and up, then hide and tries to call 911. It is a cat and mouse bloody game. But still it gave me goose bumps. I must say that the director did good coz the terror is really effective even if it's a recycled trick.

Rachel Nichols is amazing as Angela. You can feel her sufferings too. If you can remember Jessica Biels' character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre well they are comparable but I think Rachel got my early sympathy. Wes Bentley is good but his lines are cheesy. His dog is fucking scary! I hate that dog! P2 is not a bad movie. It is palpably budgeted so low but the art is still there. There are loopholes in the movie like the lack of fire alarm buttons which are really necessary in a huge building. I'm still wondering why Angela didn't bother to alarm it.Well, we won't have a film right?

I'm recommending P2 coz it is a good movie.

Just give it a try if you have time.
