P2 Ratings & Reviews
- Dario Tibay4d agoP2 is exactly the kind of film Plex is good for — an underseen genre entry from 2007 that didn't find its audience theatrically and has spent nearly two decades being slowly rediscovered by horror fans with patience. The setup: a businesswoman (Rachel Nichols) is the last person in her Manhattan office building on Christmas Eve. She goes down to P2 — the second underground parking level — finds her car won't start, and gradually realizes that the security guard (Wes Bentley) who offered to help has trapped her there on purpose. What follows is a tight survival thriller set entirely in the garage, shot in a real Toronto parking structure over 25 consecutive nights. Nichols carries the film. Her Angela is not a passive victim — she thinks, adapts, and eventually fights back with an escalating fury that the film earns through patience. Bentley plays Thomas as a lonely, delusional man whose obsession has convinced him that control and love are the same thing. Those dark, intense eyes from American Beauty are back, but now in service of something genuinely menacing. The score by tomandandy — industrial drones and metallic stings rather than conventional orchestral horror — makes the garage feel like a living trap. The film was the first ever distributed by Summit Entertainment, was inspired by real-life attacks on women in Paris parking garages, and was produced by Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Crawl) during the height of his New French Extremity period. For fans of confined-space horror and competent survival thrillers, it's an easy recommendation.
