[first lines]
Angela Bridges: Yes, sir, I redrafted the contracts to include the new stipulations.

Not bad but generic

P2 is not a bad movie,but it's generic.The film has some good moments of gore but the screenplay is recycled from a lot of other movies.Another negative point from this movie is that the characters are weakly developed by the screenplay.I could never feel identified with main character and I never felt nervous when she was in danger.And I do not think Wes Bentley was a good election for the villain.He can never transmit much evilness.Still,this movie is not bad.As I said,there are some good moments of gore and,in spite of all the fails,I cannot deny the movie entertained me.But it's a forgettable experience.P2 is a mediocre horror film but it's much better than a lot of crap made in Hollywood (like the crappy remakes of The Eye and Shutter).
