P2 The Movie

Been awaiting for the release of P2 for quite while now. As a horror fanatic I needed to see this. It was great to hear Alexandre Aja involved. I'm not a fan of High Tension, but think he did a great job on The Hills Have Eyes remake. 2007, in my opinion, has been a great year for Horror - but P2 certainly stands out in the crowd. Suspenseful, Thrilling, Realistic and a lot more...you don't want to miss out on P2.

One of the best thrillers out there, P2 is exciting, entertaining and very, very well done. It's talk about a business woman who is stalked by a psychopath killer after she gets stuck in a parking garage, and she must fight many challenges through the night for survive. This movie is very enjoyable, it's keep you on the edge of your sofa, from the beginning to the end.

Rachel Nichols plays Angela, a dedicated worker who is heading home to her family on Christmas Eve. However, when she gets in the parking garage - her car refuses to start. Pacing up and down the parking levels, she meets a friendly security guard named Thomas (Wes Bentley) who offers kind help. But before Angela knows it, she is knocked unconscious and awakens in Thomas' office, who appears to be fascinated with her and is, in short - mental and psychopath. Angela realizes she has to survive his psychotic ways, his vicious dog and being trapped.

Firstly, the cast do great. There's a small cast and they all do their jobs very well. Rachel Nichols and Wes Bentley both stand out and shine in their performances. Rachel Nichols is great and Wes Bentley's too, they are both very talented and Rachel is very sexy. Wes doing a villain has very real reactions and Rachel (i think) for the first time in a lead role is very charismatic. The script is very good but has it mistakes (of course), it is far from the perfect film, but is not close from the worst. I'm particularly impressed with Nichols as she truly does a great job. It's also great to be seeing Wes take on a role he hasn't done before, which is of the "psycho" in the movie. He does it really well. The characters and their characterization are done really well too. We focus on both characters and get to know them both. Angela is the hard worker who just wants to get home to the family and please everybody, whereas Thomas is this lonely man with a dog in need of some company. You actually feel sorry for him at times.

The plot of the movie is also great, and like I said before - one of the things that attracted me to see P2. I love the fact the movie takes place at Christmas, and it's even got me into the Christmas spirit early! I think the idea of being trapped, alone, in a parking garage is scary enough. But to be trapped with a psychotic man is even scarier, as well as his menacing dog. This movie has tons of thrills and suspenseful chase scenes to keep the viewer on the edge of their seats, and it's entertaining from start to finish. The movie also has some bloody, cringe-worthy scenes which are quite brutal.

I don't have any complaints about the movie, as it's what I expected it to be and more. You know, I'm already hearing bad things said about this film, and it's a shame. I don't know why people are bad mouthing it, as to me - it seems people are just hard to please. Maybe people saw this and expected a gore-fest? I don't know, but I do advise you watch this movie for yourself as it is amazing and one of the best horrors I've seen in 2007.
