10 Pint Movies: P2 (2007) DVD Movie review

P2 (2007)

Plot: Angela (Rachel Nichols) is working late, it’s Christmas Eve, party to go to, her family is waiting; she just wants to get in the car and fuck off home.

Unfortunately her car is shagged. Friendly security guard Thomas (Wes Bentley) is on hand to try and help. Again unfortunately his idea of helping is chaining her to a table and making her have Christmas with him.

He’s fucking nuts, it must be boring being a lone security guard on Christmas night but really this is taking it too far he could well be up for a disciplinary in the new year.

Its Xmas smile, ungrateful bitch

Is it good: Yes, The writer / producer Alexander Aja’s involvement must have helped he has a knack for supplying stories with atmosphere and tension to movies you think will be pretty predictable slasher/splatter films. High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes both exceeded expectations (well mine). The same with P2 what could have been just a low budget stalker scream queen fest excelled in atmosphere had an energy that kept my interest till the end.

Plus Rachel Nichols has awesome tits and isn’t afraid to give a bit of killer cleavage for the audience. She wasn’t just a pair of tits with eyes though her acting was pretty spot on terrified but full of survival instinct not afraid to fight for her life.

Wes Bentley the creepy bag loving weirdo of American beauty is convincing as the psychotic stalking security guard. (Very creepy eyes)

Watch out you could have
someones eyes out with those tits

The dark parking barren garage was an effective setting, being in one on your own in the dark is not a nice feeling. It seems both, close to the outside world but at the same time a world away & in this film an inescapable prison.
Not a complete gore fest but the touches it had were excellent.

I love my wall

Turdige: A shorter faster film may have been better. Mobile phones in horror movies get on my tits film makers really need to look at how they actually work the old haven’t got a signal is just too weak hook these days it’s getting like “oh the car wont start”.

Overall: The cleavage stole the show it could have been a film about over cooked Yorkshire puddings & I wouldn’t have cared. But it wasn’t it was a great little psychological horror.
