Merry Axemas Day 11 - P2 (2007)

Synopsis: Angela is the last to leave her office on Christmas Eve. Soon she finds herself trapped in the parking garage with an obsessed, psychotic security guard.

The Good: Rachel Nichols is a great lead. Angela is smart and resourceful. While she spends a lot of the film terrified and being chased, she's a bad ass. Wes Bentley plays the perfect incel psycho, Tom. He feels like because he's nice to her and wants to help her, he's entitled to have her. He really uncomfortable and that shows me he played the part well. 

The Bad: Being set in an unlit garage for much of the film, the sets are really drab. However, that does mean the scenes with light really do shine.

Final Thoughts: I was hoping for more Christmas spirit with this one, but the holiday is just a plot explanation for the empty building. That being said, it was an entertaining suspense flick.
