Nice Girls When Covered In Blood Turn Savage

P2. Let's pray there is never a P3 or even a P1-The Prequel.

Ambitious, overworked young woman becomes the obsession of a crazed security guard who manages to orchestrate holding her hostage in the parking garage of the building she works... on Christmas Eve, no less.

The whole cat and mouse-mouse gets bloody-mouse turns tables on cat premise has been played and overplayed, and now it is just plain being abused. The stalking scenes are boring. The psycho (Wes Bentley) is an obnoxious twit, rarely scary, always annoying. Rachel Nichols does a fair job here as the victim, but ironically falls "victim" to Hollywood's whoring her out in a white slip boasting her cleavage to maintain the attention of feeble minds and teen mallrats.

Miss this and I assure you, you won't miss a thing.
