The Collector

The Collector

Running Time: 85 minutes (Thank God)

Summary: Desperate to repay his debt to his ex-wife, an ex-con plots a heist at his new employer's country home, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.

Review: From the creators of Saw come this disgusting, disturbing and frusterating horror movie of brutal proportions.

The movie follows an ex-con turned handyman named Arkin as he attempts to rob his new boss, interrupting a psyco who is trying to slaughter the family currently living there. Somehow, Arkin decides that it is his responsibility to save the family from their impending tortures and chaos ensues.

As far as the new genre of horror movies go (I mean the horror movies that are more about disgusting violence and making your stomach churn, rather than focusing suspense or atmosphere) this one is pretty good. The story is pretty original and the traps are at least clever.

There were parts where I definitely couldn't watch in fear of puking up the chicken wings that I had just attempted to eat, and there were parts where I was actually yelling at the screen to try to knock some sense into our would-be hero, but at least it was better than the last Saw movie.

Best Quote: None. Most of the movie's dialogue consisted of heavy breathing, Arkin shushing people and lots of screaming.

Rating as a movie in general: 4 nests out of 10
Rating as a disgusting horror movie: 8.5 nests out of 10
