P2 (2007) 8/10

Starring : Wes Bentley, Rachel Nichols, Simon Reynolds, Philip Akin
Director : Franck Khalfoun
Running Time : 98 mins

When businesswoman Angela Bridges (Nichols) gets stranded in her office building on Christmas Eve, she finds herself being abducted by Tom (Bentley), the night shift security guard in the underground car park, but as the night progresses Tom's infatuation takes a decidedly homicidal turn and he starts to kill anyone who might try to interfere with his perfect Christmas date...

This is such a simple story, but its execution and pacing were pretty good. This gets extra points for managing to dress Rachel Nichols up like Sissy Spacek in Carrie and still make her look hot, and it's nice to see Wes Bentley get a chance to play an interesting lead role for a change. This is definitely worth watching if you like tense thrillers with a lot of gore - there are some particular scenes that might make some viewers a little queasy.
