Underrated ‘P2’ Is An Essential Holiday Thriller [Horror Queers Podcast]
Still Waiting For P1.
After spending December discussing 70s religious thriller The Sentinel (listen), Josh Trank’s found footage superhero thriller Chronicle (listen), and 1995’s “family friendly” gateway horror Jumanji (listen), it’s time to celebrate the holidays with P2 (2007), produced by Alexandre Aja and directed by Franck Khalfoun.
In the film, harried businesswoman Angela (Rachel Nichols) is working late on Christmas Eve, though she’s desperate to get home to her family. When she discovers she’s trapped in the New York high rise where she works and her car won’t start, Angela seeks help from security guard Thomas (Wes Bentley) whose kind demeanor masks ulterior motives.
It’s not long before Angela is fighting for her life against a man who has complete control over the environment and desperately want to spend the holiday with her. Can she outwit and escape him…or is Angela doomed to die on P2 of the parking garage?

Episode 366: P2 (2007) feat. Stuart Ross
Take off your heels and prep your taser because we’re stuck in a cold parking garage for Christmas with Franck Kalfoun’s P2 (2007). Along for the joyride is Stuart Ross from Another Gay Horror Podcast, who’s watching the film for the first time! C/W: Sexual harassment
Join us as we praise leads Rachel Nichols and (an admittedly typecast) Wes Bentley, as well as a fantastic flooded elevator sequence.
Plus: beautiful businesswoman Angela’s conditioned response to misogyny, fixing the opening, breaking high rise windows, and “debate” about security guard Karl’s death.
Cross out P2!
