À propos de ce film

From the twisted minds behind Saw IV, V and Saw VI, THE COLLECTOR is a real-time game of cat-and-mouse, melding primal horror with a cracking suspense thriller. An ex-con, Arkin (JOSH STEWART) is trying to get his life back on track, and out of desperation decides to rob 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.  As the seconds tick down to midnight, Arkin becomes a reluctant hero trapped by a masked “Collector” in a maze of lethal invention, while trying to rescue the very family he came to rob.

Notes et avis

No pun intended. I rarely post reviews but this movie deserves to be seen. Don't always believe a Rotten Tomatoes score. One for fans of well made, low key horror with great set pieces. This movie is primarily set in one location which makes it all the more remarkable that the director maintains the suspense throughout.

Wasn't a bad film, but I'm so sick of the fact a killer is a killer for the sake of it. Why rig all these traps and not force people to go through it. And what's your motivation.

First of 2 films in this series, really captures the trapped atmosphere in the house well and some good traps. If you like Saw films you'll love this. The sequel The Collector isn't bad either.
