Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

The Collector follows the story of handyman and ex-con Arkin, who aims to repay a debt to his ex-wife by robbing his new employer's country home. Unfortunately for Arkin, a far worse enemy has already laid claim to the property - and the family. As the seconds tick down to midnight, Arkin becomes a reluctant hero trapped by a masked "Collector" in a maze of lethal invention - the Spanish Inquisition as imagined by Rube Goldberg - while trying to rescue the very family he came to rob.

If Home Alone and SAW had a baby, The Collector would be it. I first tried out The Collector when I read that it was originally going to be a SAW prequel before it was scrapped and made into its own film. The actual movie follows a man who gets trapped in a house with a sadist who likes to set traps. Unlike other horror movies, this guy is not an idiot. Probably a better thinker when in the middle of a stressful encounter than most of us. I don't want to give too much away, but you should enjoy this movie if you watched and enjoyed SAW. Brilliant traps, great actors/actresses, and awesome premise.

3 and a half out of 5. This is one disturbing trip to take. It has some really cool kills and definitely deliver s on scares but is very disturbing at times. I saw The Collection which I got to watch again but I guess what I didn't realize was that there was one before that, this one. There is even a horrific animal death, before that... Oooof. So be careful. I can't reccomend due to certain scenes and laungauge but there are still some less disturbing kills... I guess less disturbing.

Really fantastic movie that gives you a sliver of identities in the making of a serial killer(the collector) and the actions of a thief (arkins). People question how the collector can be so smart makes me think they never finished the sequel considering what arkins says about him in their encounter in the last moment of the 2nd movie. The collector is actually a pretty intellectual character in the universe. I don't wanna spoil it but the collector has his degrees to prove it.
