This film is dumb as fuck and I don't understand why it has so many high ratings. For me, the supernatural antagonist in the Collector was idiotic and left far too unexplained. The film started off promisingly but once the Collector actually appeared it quickly became nonsensical with too many suspensions of disbelief, and a lazy gorefest. What it did do right was keep up the tension, which made it watchable to the end, but ultimately it is a very simplistic film that felt like it wasn't too concerned about explaining much, instead focussing on supposedly "cool" traps and deaths.

The Collector guy is one hell of a quick worker right?!!??!? To setup so many traps in a limited time, amazing! I really liked the bear trap one, brutal as heck! Anyway we have Josh Stewart who plays Arkin an ex-con who works as a handyman. Needing some money to help his wife pay off some loan-sharks, he goes back to the house of the family he works for to steal a ruby. Instead of getting the ruby he walks into a house full of trapped and the family getting "collected" by the Collector. So, we kinda get a film where Arkin tries to help the family escape while avoiding the Collector and his traps and further in the film it turns into a cat and mouse game as Arkin tries to save Hannah, the youngest of the family. I really liked the concept of the bad guy, hopefully the sequel tells us about his backstory more. The logic of the film is kinda flawed but the traps were great. In the end "the Collector" isn't anything amazing but for what it is, it is quite entertaining! Which is always a good thing!

This isn't horror; It's simply masochistic shallow weirdness. Also the mechanisms (traps) that magically appear everywhere really make no sense at all. The whole navigation through the house is weird and the main character is strangely shifting between being too calm and panicking. Giving it a 5 because it's not horror, the acting was really not that good and even (as a horror fan) the over-the-top masochism didn't make up for it being scary or gore. All of this kind of made it lose all the tension for me and it made feel empty and unempathetic.
