Angela is something of a workaholic. This causes friction with her family, especially tonight, on Christmas Eve, when she's once again staying late at the office and not on her way to her sister's place for dinner.
And then when Angela finally does go to leave, wouldn't you know it? Her car won't start. The attendant in her underground car park tries to be helpful - in fact, if anything, he's a little too eager to please. Still, it's surely not like he's a lunatic who's about to abduct her and subject her to a night of terror, right?
Right?
So it turns out that I've watched two Xmas-themed horror films this month. That wasn't planned, but it almost makes me wish that I was intending to round out this October with Black Xmas. But I'm not :)
P2 is a decent little cat and mouse, stalker and prey type film. It doesn't really break any especially new ground or offer any surprises if you've ever seen this kind of thing before, but it has a couple of neat set pieces. I particularly liked the elevator sequences.
The film is also helped a lot by the fact that Rachel Nichols is very good as Angela: she presents just the right combination of vulnerability and toughness.
Worth checking out if stalker movies are something you like.
