P2 (2007) - Nov. 10, 2007
A simple and surprisingly effective thriller about a young woman who gets trapped in an empty parking garage and finds herself being terrorized by a psychotic security guard. The film wastes no time setting everything up, and does a good job keeping a fairly consistent level of tension throughout. It's well directed, and the cinematography gives the parking lot a nicely ominous look. There's nothing particularly fresh here, but the movie takes a familiar story and executes it quite admirably. I don't think Wes Bentley is ever really fully convincing as the villain, but that's a minor complaint. ***1/2
