So much average

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Awful and boring. Not anywhere near as good as the Saw films.

The Collector (2009) is a very thrilling horror film that will keep every member of the audience on the edge of their seat dying to know what happens next. This is a horror movie that's not for everyone though, because of how graphic and realistic it is at times. The actors are well cast and I think they do a great job with their roles. The main character had just enough depth and backstory for the audience to care about what happens to him. I liked the set up for how the house and everything was set up. The house was basically rigged as one giant death trap by the antagonist, the collector. The thrill factor is very high. In my opinion, this movie is far more thrilling and anxiety inducing than it is scary. I wasn't all that scared by it, but it did cause me to be on the edge of my seat. If you're looking for a good thrilling horror movie that is well acted, then I would suggest this one. I have not seen the sequel, the collection, but I plan on it. I'm interested to see where they take it, I'm hoping it picks up right where this film leaves off. And I won't spoil anything for anyone, but I'm hoping this movie's ending gets a little more closure. 8/10 for The Collector.

If you are looking for a movie that will keep your mind on the film and make you forget about everything else for the duration of the movie, then this is it. The story is original and it will keep you entertained and most of all guessing. It has a great claustrophobic atmosphere. The film gets into the action very quickly. The film has a true dreadful feeling as the trapped burglar Arkin played convincingly by Josh Stewart (The hunted, Law abiding citizen) tries his best to save the family and escape. Stewart gives the character depth and emotion. Marcus Dunstans direction is excellent as he admirably builds up the tension and suspense. He is the writer of Saw 4, 5, 6 n 7, Feast 1, 2, 3 n Piranha 3DD. The traps are some of the best to date. This movie is very scary and intense and well acted. The camera work is excellent and the film comes across as extremely dark and claustrophobic. The soundtrack is perfectly in tune with the feel of the movie and really heightens the timing of each of the scares.

This is a familiar theme, bad guy in the house doing bad things and the damsel doing her best to outfox him. There is a slight twist here because rather than just a damsel there is another bad guy turned hero. Well, he isn't such a bad guy, he's burglarising the place out of necessity - his wife is in deep debt to the mob, and he needs the money for her. Clearly he's done this sort of thing before, burglarising, not saving the day, and when he effects entry he stumbles onto a bloodbath. Obviously it's a big house, the damsel is the youngest daughter of the man he has just been working for. Got that? Good, because the rest of it is too silly for words.Okay, if you are into special effects, you might get something out of seeing fingers chopped off and the like, and if you are into pure sadism, better to live it vicariously than do it for real, but the house is boobytrapped to such an extent you'd have to ask if a dozen people could have done this in the time allotted rather than just one. There is no real plot, the masked villain has either superpowers or supernatural powers, and the ending is too silly for words.
