Great film- *beep* the haters


Great intense film- may not be realistic but the atmosphere is great and it's very creative.

Am definately hoping for a 3rd one

I didn't like this movie. Since I also bought The Collection, I gave it a shot and it was way better. At least there was some originality to it. In The Collector, its Ridiculous how the guy Successfully hides behind a bed. Then a chair. Its ridiculous How once again a character successfully escapes the house and then comes back in it because he saw the little girl. Oh yes, he brought a gun... With no bullets!! Then how was the ambulance Without police protection?? Come on! If at least there was a particularly good story or originality to the movie maybe I would've liked it but its the same old boring activity of Watching a mute mad man slowly walking inside a house while everyone tries to
escape him.

While I'm not going to argue that you like the sequel better you cannot make the argument that the lack of realism ruined it. The sequel contains **SPOILERS AHEAD** A nightclub harvester death machine, zombie dog people, a warehouse made into a state of the art death palace, explosions out the wazoo and superhuman strength and escapism from the killer.

The first film is in my eyes, superior in every way as it actually paints a story rather well with many suspenseful moments while this is just an action film.

I believe none of those things you mentioned from the sequel made me feel like the makers of the movie took me for an idiot. They just wanted to have fun and we felt that through the screen.
