The movie was co written by the director Franck Khalfoun,in his directorial debut, and producers Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, inspired by a series of attacks reported by women in Paris' parking garages!

Angela is working late on Christmas Eve, as she keeps on talking to her family on the phone, about the Christmas party they hold at their place, where they wait for her, as she has to bring the Santa outfit.

One of her colleagues comes to apologize for hitting on her at the office Christmas party, as he leaves.

Everybody leaves and Angela is the only one left, with the security guards.

When she finally leaves, her car won't start, and goes to the security guard's office, asking him to unlock the door to the elevator room. He offers to help fix her car, but it still doesn't work. As they walk towards the elevator door, he asks her to spend Christmas with him, and she refuses.

She goes to the front of the building,with all the presents she bought, calling a cab.

When the cab arrives, she realizes the doors are locked, and she goes back to the parking lot, asking the security guard for help again, as the one at the front desk is nowhere to be found.

The cab leaves, as she takes too long, and while in the parking lot the lights go off. The security guard jumps her and covers her face with a chloroform towel.

Angela wakes up at a table, in a skimpy white dress, handcuffed and chained to the table. The security guard has a dog who gets violent whenever he sees strangers, which makes me wonder why does he take it with him as it could bite or k1ll people.

Talking to him, Angela realizes the man knows many things about her, and is a stalker.

He makes her call her family and cancel on them.

After he offers her a gift, a video tape of what her colleague did to her in the elevator (he was drunk and tried to kiss her), he takes her to the parking lot where he has him chained to a chair, asking Angela to beat him up. Angela refuses to do it, so he goes and beats him with his stick across the head, after which he drives his car over and over into him, crashing him against the wall!

Angela manages to get out of his car, and run away from him, although her hands are in handcuffs behind her back. She manages to get her handcuffed hands in the front of her, and goes to his office, getting her phone and his keys, while trying to stay away from the chained dog trying to attack her. She tries to get a signal, to call the police, and drops her phone outside the locked gates of the parking lot.

Running away from him, as he tries to get her, she takes the elevator, and finds out her stalker k1lled the other security guard, and seeing she's not leaving the elevator, he floods it!

I personally enjoyed the movie, but it's pretty hard to watch due to the things the stalker does to her and others, the movie being very graphic.

The stalker, Thomas, is off his rocker, as he thinks the things he's doing to Angela are for her own good, and eventually they'll end up together, this experience bringing them closer!

Angela seems to be a good business woman, who works a lot, her job taking over her personal life.

P2 stands for "parking level 2", where her car is parked.

The acting was good, especially from Rachel Nichols who had to act scared all the time and cry a lot.

The soundtrack by Tomandandy was good, although it's not what they got us used to.

The movie received mixed reviews, and grossed 7.7 million dollars at the box office, against a budget of 3.5 million.

The movie was shot in August 2006, for 2 months, at night, in a real parking lot in Canada.

14 different dresses were made for the movie,in different stages of dirtiness.

3 dogs played the Rottweiler.
