It is like a Michael Haneke film but without the intellectual underpinnings and is therefore just pointlessly plain and, in one long scene of torture, unwatchably sadistic.

| Oct 7, 2018

Unscary, uninteresting tosh from people who should know better.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 28, 2008

Has quite a bit going for it, which makes its eventual reliance on inane genre gimmicks that much more disappointing.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 30, 2007

Despite an enormously creepy turn from Bentley, the story has nowhere else to go but into the standard (albeit judiciously used) stalk-and-slash territory.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 24, 2007

P2 doesn't have the grisly intensity of Aja's other work, in spite of a few moments of cartoonish gore.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Nov 17, 2007

Bentley plays the role of funny, cagey psychopath quite well, and the film packs more laughs than frights. What woman wouldn't be interested after his homicidal message of love?

| Original Score: 2/6 | Nov 15, 2007

P2 trembles in the shadow of Red Eye but it's not without its virtues.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 12, 2007

P2 feels like a vehicle lost in an after-hours parking facility, constantly backing up, shifting gears and generally speeding around in circles in a vain attempt to get somewhere.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2007

P2 may be bad enough to become some other type of classic than the holiday kind.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2007

There's some ghoulish humor in P2, and a couple of scares, but it's little more than the umpteenth variation of the woman-locked-in-a-house plot.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 9, 2007

This is one of those thrillers where the person on-screen is often the only person in the theater who can't guess what'll happen next.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2007

Even by the low standards of the horror subgenre playfully nicknamed "torture porn," P2 is scraping the bottom of the movie barrel.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2007

Amid the dumbness and disgust for paying customers, the movie does manage to cough up something I didn't expect: a performance so terrible you can't quite believe it's happening: Bentley's.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Nov 9, 2007

Swift and stealthy P2 is a canny exploitation of one of the urban woman's greatest fears: the after-hours parking garage.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2007

It sounds like a formula slasher film, but it's actually done well.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2007

The majority of [director Khalfoun's] chase and fight scenes are so artlessly staged that they render suspense moot.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2007

A minimalist and unimaginative horror thriller.

Full Review | Nov 9, 2007

P2 struggles to maintain its momentum because there's simply not enough to do in a parking garage to fill out a feature film.

Full Review | Nov 8, 2007

The same old grim game of cat and mouse. Sure, we hope the mouse gets away. But mostly we just want the whole thing to end.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 8, 2007

Cheerfully manipulative, P2 is the kind of movie that invites audiences to yell back at the screen and cheer.
