Gruesome as gruesome can possibly get! That’s what this follow up to the largely forgotten 2009 horror flick, The Collector film, is. If you have seen the original one [The Collector] and liked it, then I would take a wild guess that you would probably love this one; However if you haven’t seen it, then you would probably have to be in to “slasher-flicks” to appreciate the goriness of this installment. After reading about the original, it seems as though scriptwriters, Patrick Melton and Director Marcus Dunstan have teamed up once again and taken all that was loved about the predecessor and amplified it to bring us this latest “slash-fest.” In line with others in the same genre such as Saw and The Hills have Eyes, this horrifying bloodbath of a movie will cause the strongest of hearts to cringe. It seemed as though the movie started off on a bloody thrill-ride and never let up for more than about two minutes at best, clocking in at a swift 82 minutes.
Unfortunately, I didn’t really enjoy this latest installment because it seemed as though genuine scare tactics and nail-biting tension have been sacrificed for all-out squirm-inducing endurance tests… these are types of torture sequences that seemed to be designed to assess the perseverance and stomachs of the audience. I’m talking about scenes that you might tell a friend about, after the movie, and then dare them to sit through the same scenes. READ FULL REVIEW
