Review:

While upon theatrical release this movie bombed and critics had mixed feelings, I find that this movie is a hidden gem. This movie is a shining example of how studios under publicize well made low budget films. 

The camera work, lighting and set design were what you would expect from a high budget film. Angel's (Rachel Nichols) Christmas Eve goes from bad to worse. After working late and her car does not start, she gets locked in a parking garage with a security guard Thomas (Wes Bentley), who turns out to be a bit of a psychopath. While it takes sometime to get the action to get going, once it does you tend to over look the flaws in this film. 

The acting is done by two solid actors, both which make the film enjoyable to watch. ( can you say a horror is enjoyable?) Wes Bentley's performance is eerily, creepy realistic. This film is underrated by critics, precisely why I don't listen to their views.
