Why bother with a plot anyway?, 10 August 2009
4/10
Author: dschmeding from Germany

Great... the writers of SAW make a movie involving a killer and a house full of traps. Sounds like someone is either pretty low on new ideas or wants to cash off an idea that was exploited to the max. If anyone thinks the last SAW Movies were dumb (which I heard from some) they should watch "The collector". There is some excuse of a plot involving a guy in debt breaking into a house just to stumble across its mutilated inhabitants and a guy with a freaky mask and too much time on his hands which he spends on putting up a thousand traps for 4 people.

Imagine... "The collector" spends a whole day filling a house with traps, then chaining up its inhabitants and torturing them?? Why the traps.... ding, of course he's messing with the burglar. Thats smart isn't it? Well, smart enough to hide that the movie basically has nothing going for it but a dark house with lots of knifes, razorblades, nails and wires (oh, and acid) that lead up to several gory and sadistic scenes. Its dumb and I am really bored of watching a movie that basically is just exploiting some torture scenes.
