20 Best Christmas Horror Movies You NEED To Watch

P2 rather quietly came and went on original release in 2007, but this grimy, bluntly effective little slasher is well worthy of a re-evaluation.

Director Franck Khalfoun (2012's Maniac remake) takes an economic, straightforward premise and milks it for every last drop of suspense, as a young woman (Rachel Nichols) finds herself trapped in a parking garage on Christmas Eve, where she's stalked by the garage's maniacal security guard (Wes Bentley).

This is a shining example of how to do a lot with a little. Despite the limited and seemingly uninteresting central location, Khalfoun cooks up a number of engaging and well-staged chase sequences, even while keeping the body count pretty low. But above all else, it's a testament to the central performances from Nichols and Bentley that this one sustains interest to the finish, proving itself a modestly conceived cat-and-mouse horror that's a whole ton of fun.

This is another Christmastime horror that's desperately deserving of wider appreciation among genre fans.
