No movie has made me cringe like this one in a very long time. The death scenes are brutal, just the way I like. The mystery still remains as to why all this happened, but that just keeps it entertaining.

i love horror and suspense. this was great! read the reviews. who was the RETARD who took their grandchildren to a movie like this? people like that shouldn't breed. GO TO THE MOVIE WITHOUT CHILDREN.

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.

This is a must go for horror buffs, but not for the faint-hearted. It finally plays to its own story versus the desires of a general audience, which is why not all people will like it (although I don't want to contradict myself on the ending, which disappointingly enough did play to audience appeal). Josh Stewart does a wonderful job in this movie, and finally represents a main character in a thriller that the audience can attach themselves to. The score is great, and the cinematography is very refreshing. All in all, this is almost the perfect horror movie. Anyone who says this movie is crap can't differentiate their own opinions from the likes of a very solid movie. And for those who say this movie doesn't have a plot, seriously, grow a brain and then come back. If you don't know anything about movies, don't comment. You only make yourself look stupid.

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
