P2 (2007) - 5/10 (Didn't like or dislike it)
Thomas (Wes Bentley) is a lonely parking garage security guard who has to work on Christmas Eve and could use a friend. Angela (Rachel Nichols) is a pretty businesswoman who works in the building above and doesn't know that Thomas exists. Thomas has had his eye on her for a while and would love to have her company for the evening, so he does what any lonely psychopath would do in his position: he abducts her, chains her to the table in his office (on Parking Level 2) and forces her to have Christmas Eve dinner with him. Not flattered by his advances or his cooking, she periodically stabs him with sharp objects, but he remains undeterred, as hopeless romantic psychopaths tend to be. This is a low budget horror/thriller that takes place mostly in a parking garage with a small cast that gets smaller by the minute. Bentley makes for a darkly humorous psycho whose bad behavior is justified by him simply wanting to be friends with Angela. Nichols doesn't do much but be attractive while looking disgustingly at her co-star and trying to run away. It tries to be suspenseful and doesn't really succeed, but I was interested enough to see what happens next. That usually ended up being exactly what I expected, so it's pretty predictable and cliched, but it's decently made and I found it watchable. Also, not since the classic Die Hard has there been a better movie set partly in a parking garage at Christmas, so it has that going for it.
