Opening in theatres on my birthday, (July 31) The Collector has been the best horror film I have seen throughout this year so far; filled with susupense and gore! The story follows a man who becomes desperate to pay the debt of his ex-wife to save her life, and the possible life of her child. Backed into a corner and given a deadline, he must steal from the family he works for in order to get thin... read more

Although not known for having a particularly credible argument *, is compensated by a judicious use of the camera and sound, some deaths fairly animals (not saved or the poor cat), and its moments of tension.

A tape, which no big deal, it is imposed by above average so mistreated in the horror genre. Recommended to see no expectations.

When the Chase family moves to an isolated house in the middle of nowhere in Detroit, Arkin is hired to fix the windows and the doors. Later he meets his daughter and his wife that has a debt with dangerous sharks and needs money, but his week payment is not enough to pay her debts. Arkin plots to heist the safe of Michael Chase during the night to raise the necessary money. However, when he arrives in the house, he finds that a sadistic criminal has imprisoned the family and planted traps everywhere. Arkin seeks a way out of the deadly house to save his life.

Movies I Watched in January 2021 (56 movies items)

" Date: 1/10/2021 Viewed: Amazon Prime First Viewing Note: I remember when this movie came out in 2009 and I didn't bother to watch it because I thought the trailers for the movie looked horrible. At the time, I thought it look like another generic horror movie. Better late than never, I finally watched this movie thanks to Film Club's Secret Cinema. I'm glad that I finally watched this movie because I enjoyed it. The Collector is a pretty enjoyable home invasion movie in my opinion. Watching"

70 Underappreciated and Lesser Known Horror Films (70 movies items)

"Saw meets home invasion horror. Originally written as a Saw sequel, adequately enough, only to be reworked into a really tense and ruthless thriller. "
