Audience Reviews for P2

    Most assuredly not a failure of a film, but there is absolutely nothing about P2 to make it stand out or separate it from the mounds of other garbage the horror genre has been heaping out in the 21st century.

    I'd bang Thomas... It's not like we have not seen films following the same formula, but P2 is quite a clever low budget film. Angela began a cat and mouse chase after being trapped down inside the parking lot by the crazy security guard. Although there are some problems with the setting, it works out with the nice acting.

    "I'll have a blue Christmas without you." P2 is a terrifying thriller that's intense and frightening. The story follows a businesswoman who's working late on Christmas Eve and ends up getting trapped in a parking garage by a deranged security guard who's obsessed with her. Wes Bentley and Rachel Nichols lead the cast and give strong performances that are engaging. The plot is especially well-crafted, and is able to maintain a high level of intensity and suspense throughout the entire film. However, there are some weaknesses; as it gets a bit cliched and formulaic at times. Dark and foreboding, P2 is a chilling film that delivers plenty of scares.
