I loved this film. The killer is completely insane and one of the most prepared psychos I've ever seen. His traps were great, the kills were cool, the plot was original - a robber breaking in to find a killer already inside and the characters were for the most part likeable - except the idiot wife. I don't know what people are expecting, it's a HORROR movie not some Oscar worthy film. It's from the makers of Saw and your whining about the plot? Just leave.
shareSomebody needs to get out more...
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
I get out plenty thank you. Why go on a board if you don't like the film? Idiot.
shareBecause we all have opinions and we're all entitled to express them, even if we don't all agree.
I guess that makes us all idiots, doesn't it? Idiot.
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
No, you're a retard. Knocking someone else's opinion is not expressing your own. Now, go express your opinion somewhere else idiot.
shareHa ha ha! Oooh, soooooo mature. How old are you, 5? 4? 3?
Does your mummy know you're online?
Go on, now reply with something really entertaining! Give us even more of a laugh.
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
So just completely ignore my point? Not surprising. You seem like you have issues. No need to reply (but I bet you will any way).
shareAha, given up huh. Did you never wonder why nobody else bothered to reply to your thread? Try another one and see how it goes. Just try and be more intelligent about it. You may be surprised with the response!
BTW, it's still a stupid film for stupid people. Just saying.
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
No, I just don't like talking to the mentally challenged. The fact you continue to reply shows how petty and desperate you are. Intelligent? I'm surprised you even know the meaning of the word because you are very clearly not intelligent.
That's YOUR opinion, something you don't realise many other people don't share. Yet you continue to try and force other people to share your opinion and fail miserably. You also are clearly mentally ill and add on to that your anger issues. You really should seek help for your behaviour and issues but judging by your personality I doubt that's going to happen any time soon. I'd say no need to reply yet again but I have no doubt you'll try and get the last word again. Another one of your (many) faults. Goodbye.
I'll always have the last word. Hope you've realised you've trashed your own thread.
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
The only trash around here is you. Good luck having that last word bitch.
shareTra la la la la... (etc)
...it's just awful, terrible film - get over it.
Freak. Ignored.
shareIMHO, your rudeness not only smacks of desperation but demonstrates a severe lack of any ability to critique or accept an alternative view - but I've already said that and you were rude then, even making an unfounded attack on my gender. Ooh er! I'm concerned you may be beyond all help.
I also suspect your limited vocabulary is little understood by yourself as you clearly did not ignore my last comment - neither will you ignore this, nor will you ignore any of my future comments.
Due to your ineptitude, however, you still haven't managed to dissuade me from considering this to be a dire film. That means I still regard it as being poorly conceived, ineptly written, badly directed and containing little merit by way of entertainment.
Take a lesson from your last poster, who made a fair point, and let's see if you can match it by employing more than two words, holding back on the dumb crudity and demonstrating some semblance of intelligence (though I won't be holding my breath!).
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
Hey storm-the-dog-pile,
Fancy seeing you here. Since you took the liberty of stalking me I thought I would pay back the favor.
While on the subject of rudeness, you shouldn't talk since you are rude too. Why can't others be rude? You mean it's only OK for you to be rude but no one else can be?
Also don't think you do much thinking. You just basically insult people and you don't even critique movies, you just insult those who disagree with you. It's just like on The Cube board, you feel your opinion is the only one allowed and everyone else is an idiot.
There is no way to discuss a movie with you because you don't care about other people's opinions, that is, unless they agree with you.
Yes, I know you are mad at me and this will be proved by you having to post a reply where you will try to insult me and talk about other boards I was on and it will have nothing to do with anything.
NEXT!

"sad storm-the-dog".
voicing an opinion is one thing, and absolutely we all have the right to voice our views on a film or a topic
but being plain rude to someone for the sake of it especially through the anonymity that the internet gives you
would infer that you are unhappy in some way, perhaps you're angry at something else in your life and using what is effectively cyber bullying to feel better about yourself or the situation you're in?
You're immediately going to refute this of course, probably no doubt first and foremost due to the fact that there is some truth in it i imagine.
Why else go and pick arguments with a stranger who you've never met?
over a film no less.
I'm not asking you this to irritate you, i'm just curious as it's something people often do and i thought i'd enquire as
to why you think that is?
Anyway i haven't seen the movie...it might really be terrible, mm i'll find out i guess.
Thank you for your reply Simon, but I suggest you read all the thread; your bias is showing. The OP began by attacking people who were...
whining about the plotThen telling anyone who disagreed to...
Just leaveDoes this help you? Do you agree?
Why else go and pick arguments with a stranger who you've never met? over a film no less.
Anyway i haven't seen the movie
"sad storm-the-dog"It's so unnecessary, maybe even rude, to slight people who you've never met, don't you think? How would you like to be called "Simple simonwilliams555"?
firstly i misread your name, also your first post was to the OP that they need to get out more ...just because they liked this movie.
also i'm not picking a fight with you, or insulting you , i'm just observing your behaviour and commenting on it in an a completely unbiased way.
i don't know the OP i don't know you , i am only commenting on what i see and it seems like you were berating them a bit, i don't really care enough to argue with you over it, i was just raising some questions as to why that could be, it could be that you were just half joking as the nuance of conversation is lost in text online
now back to the film , personally i enjoyed it , i took it for what it was a simple home invasion movie , a fun thoughtless slasher film.
i don't think a film needs to be particularly mentally stimulating or original to be fun, i don't think in any way that it is a great horror film but it's a decent enough movie to kill a couple of hours watching.
Then I accept your apology over the name-calling, but you've still missed the point about the OP's response to people who were criticising the film (something we're all entitled to do). Maybe you are still biased. My first response was, as you put it, "half joking". I would have called it poking gentle fun, as the OP was quite intense in what he/she'd written. I was then flamed and the "conversation" went downhill from there. Read my comments elsewhere, I'm not usually rude, but nobody likes being flamed. Besides, Jams25 posts an awful lot on IMDb, he/she should know by now what to expect when you flame people. Jams25 can defend him/herself.
As for your critique on The Collector. I think you summed it up perfectly with these three words...
thoughtless slasher filmthough I don't think Jams25 would agree with you. Best keep that quiet. Fun? Not sure if that was the intention.
...movie to kill a couple of hours...Nice pun!
You're so wrapped up in your own arrogance that you can't see that you never even offered Jam25 a counter critique in your response to his/her initial post. You were just insulting him/her. No need to reply, I won't be responding.
shareFace the facts storm-the-dog-pile, you are shoveling it with two hands.

Hi SimonWilliams,
everything you stated about storm-the-dog-pile is so true but don't waste your time trying to get through to storm-the-dog-pile. He's what they call in the psychiatric world: nuts.
Your analysis of him or her is extremely accurate. Also storm-the-dog-pile doesn't enjoy any movies. What he enjoys is fighting with others on the boards. I also think he might be in love with me because he follows me to other boards which at first I didn't know he/she/it was doing. Yeah, he has become strangely obsessed with me.
Anyway, your analysis spot on

I agree 100% with your post! Definitely one of my favorite horror films! I found it to be incredibly suspenseful when Arkin is aware of the Collector in the house and the Collector seems to suspect someone is there. I didn't like the 2nd one as much except for its climactic fight and end scenes which blew me away.
Signature.
Exactly! Finally someone with a brain.
shareWe finally agree on something, that there should be lots more like us, right?
...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
You mean lots more like me? Yes you are damn right there should be lots more like me! Damn right!
We do finally agree on something!
Now go take a poop!
NEXT!

Yup great horror movie - definitely one of my faves of the last few years.
shareDon't worry, I thought it was incredibly tense too. You just never knew what new booby trap was laying in wait, or how close Arkin was to being spotted by The Collector.
I'm planning on watching the sequel tomorrow night.
What are you? Some kind of sex wiccan?
I also agree with your opinions on this film, it's one of better ones to come out of the USA in a long time! My heart was pounding in several scenes! The only thing I didn't like was the ending, I thought it was overkill on an otherwise perfect horror movie! Thanks for your post!
shareJust watched this. Really enjoyed it. Didn't care for the ending. But it was indeed very intense in places. Good movie!
