P2

An above average horror/thriller offering from director Franck Khalfoun that's quite entertaining and rather stylish in parts and one that once you start watching you just can't turn off. A simple tale Angela (Rachel Nichols) is a workaholic young executive working late in New York city on Christmas Eve. One of the last people to leave the building before joining her family for the seasonal festivities she takes the lift down to the parking lot only to find that her car won't start. Enter Thomas (Wes Bentley) a security guard who turns out to be a psychopath obsessed with Angela, and although initially tries to help her start her car in an attempt to gain her trust ,eventually shows his true colours when he detains her against her will, and a rollercoaster ride begins as they play cat and mouse with each other in the confines of the deserted car park. A tad gory on times, it creates some suspense filled and truly tense moments as we see Angela fight back and attempt to escape from Thomas and his huge and rather vicious dog Rocky. Wesley who played Ricky Fitts in American Beauty has that screen prescence to carry off this role perfectly and Ms Nichols attacks her part with spirit and real enthusiasm. Fans of this genre will certainly find something to enjoy in this one, and even though it has it's predictable moments at just over an hour and a half is just enough to keep you interested.

All very familiar

Know all those low budget films you've seen before where you get a 'deranged loser' type character going after an isloated woman? Bingo! Here's another with every cliche from that genre. A drag to watch, but a redeeming feature is that she does have quite a nice chest.
