Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur do it again!

P2 was an awesome thriller outside of these french guys normal genre - horror - even though they still bring the gore with severe impact to the viewers. I am generally afraid of parking garages now because of this film. There are only two characters thoughout the movie battling to the death - not some big budget bs. And when people die, they die. No twist of fate that is unbelievable. If they get hurt in a scene, they are hurt the rest of the movie.

Good movie but somewhat predictable

by cebellmd

I enjoyed the movie and it was definitely suspenseful; however, the ending was a bit more predictable than I prefer.

Not the sequel to P1
By-the-numbers horror/thriller, but sometimes that's just what you want! Great movie for those looking for a well done genre flick that are tired of the lame and cheesy teen scary movie types. This one's a winner, try it out

THIS MOVIE MAKES YOU THINK.....
This movie makes you think about the little people that help us out throughout the day that we usually do not thank as much as we should, let alone acknowledge their presence. This movie was eventful and unpredictable. It came me on the edge on my sheet. The plot was new and refreshing

WAIT FOR DVD
This movie was hype based with commercial edits that made it seem like one of the best thriller/horror or whatever it's supposed to be.No action really until 35 minutes or so in.Please wait for the dvd!

The dreaded Parking Garage scenario...
If you enjoy the psychotic type drama like me, then you will have fun with this one. The empty parking garage at night is pretty scary at the best of times, so it works for me. Rachel Nichols does well as our intrepid heroine, it is great to see women fight back these days, and Wes Bentley is creepy enough as our psycho who desperately needs a good therapist! I saw this in an empty theater, just me front row center, with my feet up and my milk shake, so I was a bit tempted to look behind me, but resisted! Director Frank Khalfoun may not have great box office returns but DVDs should do well!

Not very good
I didnt like this movie really at all. The actors needed more acting classes. The female main character was not very realistic in her actions, and the man wasn't convincing either. I dont reccomend seeing this or even buying it. Pretty bad

A bit gruesome, but you don't go to sleep during the movie.

Worst movie I have seen since 1408
It was very predictable, and the was way too much gore that was not needed. Save your money. There was only 8 people in our movie, 6 of which were in our group. Don't let the commercial's fool you. Worst 90 min. of my life hands down.

This movie was very gory but the story was a good one. If you like gore than this is a good movie for you to see.

I have seen bad movies but... I found myself laughing at this horrible piece of trash about five minutes in and couldn't believe that I paid to see this. I wouldn't even recommend this if it was free. I usually love this genre of movie and will usually not complain about a bad movie because there is usually a certain expectation before walking in. I found myself reciting the script before they even said a word and every scene and word was something I had heard or seen before.

P2 Review
Of all of the horor movies I have ever seen this was one of the more interesting. I have seen horor movies before like The Amityville Horor, but nothing compares to the feeling of suspence you get while watching this movie. The movie has a good story line but at some times you can see some of the error of the main characters ways. without getting to in depth of the movie i definately say it is a go. if you are a faint of heart then i would have to say make sure you have somone there with you because the movie can get intense but truthfully i definately rate it a GO!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Terrible.
Being the only person in the biggest seating, pitch black theater i went to, I was hoping to be thrilled or at least interested in this movie. P2 is a copycat of the movie Red Eye, with Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams, except this one dragged and continued to drag. Wes Bentley was great, but the film never branched out from what we see in the trailer. No thrill and very dull. Do not see this movie.

Loved it!!
This film provided everything I expected. Dark, Suspenseful, Sexy, Psychotic.. All I have to say is Rachel Nichols!! Although their where not enough shots of her T&A.. I was nudged by my girlfriend every time I would make a noise when she came on screen.. I will defiantly recommend this film to friends and family.

Predictable and a weak story line. Not even sure if it deserved a R rating.

Filled with stuffing.
All and all the movie was good. I feel like the plot was presented to quickly forcing the whole first hour to be filled with stuffing. The movie really wasn't that interesting until close to the end. When it got good, it stayed good. I probably wouldn't go see it again, but I dont regret seeing it the first time.

Not Bad
The movie was not as bad as I expected. It had quite a few suspenseful moments. The camera work and the dark setting in the parking lot contributed greatly to the suspense. Plus, Wes Bentley plays a really believable psycho. The plot may or my not have been truly believable, but it's still entertaining and a good watch.

Horrible
The plot was insanely idiotic. The acting was poor to say the least. The only actor that did half-way decent was Rachel Nichols that has proven she can do better. The preview made it seem like a totalyl different movie. DO NOT GO.

True Scary
It's hard to imagine people that might do this but it is scary and makes you think. I only hope the movie doesn't make someone do a copycat. Yes, I jumped a couple of times, too

a taut, well acted, well scripted thriller
One of the better ones in the genre, I should add, and a very pleasant surprise. The setting, an underground garage, provided perfect context,. The heroine, a doe-eyed gangly figure, was a fine cynosure for pity and terror. Whereas the villain was an intense and just dorky enough of a chap to curdle your vital fluids.

A different type of thriller.
A little more dialog than normal. Good scares! I liked it alot. A little slow at times but it was great. Give it a chance, don't leave during the movie. Reminded me of a more gory Red Eye.

A terrifying twist on an old legitmate fear.

Everyone's heard the stories about people being mugged and assaulted in parking garages. Hell, most of us have been in a parking garage when no one else is supposedly around and had that fear creep up from the base of your spine that someone may be just around that pillar, just around the bend where you can't see, or worse yet, under your car. This movie brings all those fears to life and does it in a way that has the ability to actually terrify you. I've been watching horror movies since I was 4 years old, and I have found very few that actually get me going. This one definitely fit the bill. The gore is extreme, almost unmanageable, but if you can get past that, the acting was convincing, the gore was believable, and the storyline was realistic. I couldn't have asked for anything more from this movie

Not soo believable
My husband and I were disappointed. The bad guy was way too good looking to have a problem getting a date. Also there were some very corny lines that had us rolling . Not a total waste we got some good laughs lol

P2... Made For Family Channel...

This movie could have been made for Family Channel or Turner Broadcasting Co., only reason why it wasn't is because of a few scenes with 'blood splatters'. Don't waste your money on this movie. The actors' were good and round breasted but wasn't worth the admission... I hardly would rate this movie as being a thriller movie...

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

That quote was from Snatch, a movie I rather enjoyed. P2, however, was quite the opposite. Not only was the movie predictable, unfulfilling, and unrealistic, but at times it was so bad that it was almost funny. I guess that is one redeemable quality, perhaps. I think they should've taken out a few unnecessary F-bombs and rated it PG-13 in hopes of generating some interest amongst younger teenagers.

Really Great Thriller!

It was pretty scary, but it had some up way too close gore that I did not think was necessary. Besides that it was good!

Does the fact that the audience was laughing during the movie indicate to you that this THRILLER isn't that thrilling? This movie is not worth the price of any admission or even a free movie voucher since that is two hours of your life that you'll never get back.

Good Movie
Overall I thought P2 was a good movie because I was thinking that this crazy crap can happy anytime. OK well maybe not but at least it wasnt about a drowned boy who will never die (Jason) or a disturbed freak who want to kill Everyone (Halloween). Worth the day time price of admission and you should enjoy it if you like thillers! Overall a good movie ENJOY!!!

DUMB
this movie could be entertaining if you can totally ignore the stupidity of the main charactor and many missed opportunities she had to dial the freaking phone or kill the freak or do something! i couldn't..so it was almost painful to watch or root for her to get away. a few extremely violent scenes..too bloody and totally dumb..1/3 way thru the movie i gave up on her dumb ass i wish he'd just kill her and get the movie over with. save yourself some money and wait till it comes out at the mcdonald's redbox.

P2 was quite an interesting movie it wasnt one of those thrillers of a man in a mask or anything of that matter. I really dont know what my thoughts on the flow of the movie...Im sure that it could have been better. The Story line was...ok...but then again really cloudy. The Actors did a good job, I did jump a bit, not really one of those scream pee your pants kinda thing. So all in all it was an ok movie it could have been better. I recommend this movie to those who just want something to do. Get a small adrenaline rush. I guess it was worth the money payed to see it

Worth the Money
It's quite supsenseful and the cold, dark location of a parking lot makes it more un-nerving. The scenario plays out similar to that of the movie Red Eye (with Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams) but I think Wes Bentley is a much more believeable psycho and there is more gore involved with P2.
