on the other hand if you thought this was a complete bust you also lack the ability to function as a normal human being.

i know this wasnt the most suspenful movie ever but if you were not scared or on the edge of your seat at least once throughout the movie you are either:

a. a lying douche

b. a brain dead emotionless hair ball that the cat who was stuck in the acid probably coughed up

c. a person who has seen way way too many horror films and now expects the perfect horror film every time no matter how small the budget may be

d. or a person who was playing a game for the whole movie on his computer

i thought the plot was quite original and it is what intrigued me to see the movie. ok i do realize that our “collector” character is not very original because he seems to be a combination of jigsaw, jason and a few others, and also a man breaking into a house and torturing a family has been done before as well. the aspect that caught my eye was the idea that a somewhat low key robber is in the process of robbing a house until he has to become the hero and save the captured family from this psychotic “collector”. also if something like this movie has been done before i have not seen it yet so this really appealed to me.

unfortunately as many have said the ending was indeed a bust and beyond believeable by any stretch of the imagination

a few thing that bugged me about the “collector” dude

1. he did not have a clear motive for doing this and as a result the only explination is that he is screwed up in the head

2. according to what he did in the movie he did not collect people he just picked one person to be the bait for his next super fun party

3. he had crazy eyes. Wonder how he made them shine when he had the mask on but when he was being the exterminator guy his eyes were normal

essentially my overall experience and feelings of this movie can be summed up in a quick sentence:

Oh, wow this movie is pretty good, im satisfied with the amount of gore, suspense and plot and it looks like its going to end in a satifying matter, oh wait, whats going … no why did they end it like this, they ruined it, this turned out to be a bigger fault than the chargers drafting ryan leaf instead of peyton manning, and now im left quit unsatisfied and angry!
(it appears that i could have used more than one sentence)

OVERALL, i guess i didn’t like the movie itself, but i rather enjoyed thinking of how good this movie could have been.

Once again, can’t emphasize it enough, horrible ending!
