P2 feels like a vehicle lost in an after-hours parking facility, constantly backing up, shifting gears and generally speeding around in circles in a vain attempt to get somewhere.

There's some ghoulish humor in P2, and a couple of scares, but it's little more than the umpteenth variation of the woman-locked-in-a-house plot.

[A] miscast, misdirected botch of a can't-miss plot.

This is one of those thrillers where the person on-screen is often the only person in the theater who can't guess what'll happen next.

A slickly efficient neo-grindhouse shocker, a gory palate cleanser for this season of high-toned Oscar magnets and high-minded political dramas.

Even by the low standards of the horror subgenre playfully nicknamed "torture porn," P2 is scraping the bottom of the movie barrel.

Unscary, uninteresting tosh from people who should know better.

It's lurid and overblown, relying on its lionhearted heroine never to play her most obvious escape card, but for those with a taste for such silliness, it makes for a harrowing night at the movies.

Can't maintain interest in its paper-thin premise for the running time of a feature-length film.

....easily surpasses everything those horror remakes of late entail. Revels in tis ability to put sweat on faces, by way of a tense skirmish between car spaces

Toda a trama nada mais � do que uma mera desculpa para enfiar a bel�ssima atriz num vestidinho branco justo e encharc�-la a fim de que ele fique ainda mais grudado em seu corpo escultural.

all the pieces are in place for a great thriller - and then, just like your typical Yuletide get-together, it all falls a little flat.

Eye for Film

Has quite a bit going for it, which makes its eventual reliance on inane genre gimmicks that much more disappointing.

Lessons of Darkness

Despite an enormously creepy turn from Bentley, the story has nowhere else to go but into the standard (albeit judiciously used) stalk-and-slash territory.

About as basic and unmemorable as a horror flick gets.

Take "Red Eye," mix it with "Creep," and add a dash of "Haute Tension," finely puree with a sprinkle of camp, and what you have is a long tall glass of this demented horror film...

P2 is nothing fancy or flashy. It could use more innovation, and either tension or dark creepiness, but all in all, it's not a bad directing debut for Khalfoun.

The suspense and execution of this cat and mouse thriller is pretty solid, however the most remarkable thing about this piece are Mrs. Rachel Nichols assets (and I don't mean her acting chops)

"Wait! Why? Why can't we be friends?"First of all, this is definitely not a horror film. It barely qualifies as a thriller. I could tell early on that cleavage was going to be the main reason that I finished watching P2. The villain was definitely crazy, but not dangerous crazy. He gave off a "pathetic, lonely, and
