    The Collector Scared the ****out of Me!

    by horrorluvah

    Ever since the first SAW movie, I've been a huge fan of the trapped, must escape tension of the franchise. Because I thought I had seen it all, I wasn't expecting much when I went to see The Collector last night, but I was so, so wrong. From the opening credits, which are bad *** and have a killer soundtrack, to the first five minutes, the stage was set to be scared. The movie starts off minimally freaky and quickly dives into screaming, clutching my loved-ones, stomach in my throat fear. This has nothing on SAW; it's in a league of its own.

    I totally recommend this movie. If you see it tonight, take a friend; you'll need it.

    People like jelloman143 are WRONG

    This was a fantastic film!
    Yes, it didn't have any pop-ups! It didn't use recycled and pointless scares with a quick pop up with loud music that so many bad horror films over use. This movie uses real suspense and gives a great sense of anxiety that creates a real sense of terror in your bones.

    And sure, it wasn't a movie that took place in several locations, with several victims, like so many other slasher and torture movies do such as...Nightmare on elm street, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Red Dragon, Hanibal, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, ect.
    That is why this film is great. It shows ever detail about one specific night in the Collectors world. Every gory detail. That makes room for sequels, which I am looking forward to.

    If you want cheap scares like from " my bloody valentine" and want to listen to jelloman143, then go ahead
    But if you want to feel genuine terror, feel sheer fright, have a sense of dread, and see absolute horror, watch this.

    A Not So Great Imitation

    by magentafan20

    I am an avid horror movie watcher and I was excited to see The Collector, but I was a bit disappointed with this film. I really wanted it to be creepy and scary with just the right amount of gore injected in, (aka Saw, a great balance between a plot, gore, jumps, and irony) but there is next to no plot line and zero character development. I really wanted to know more about the killer and his motivation about why he kills and why he chooses the families that he does, but none of that is revealed. To me, this film reads too much like a bad imitation of Hostel with a killer too close to that of Jigsaw (Saw), but not nearly as intelligent.

    I do have to say that the music was excellent and actually created quite a bit of tension throughout the beginning bits of the traps. The end credits were great showing each character alive and then dead. Also the cinematography was very inspired with my favorite shots being the overhead ones showing the characters going in and out of rooms
