The collectors among you will know it. What could be better than packing a newly acquired rarity into your display case. Mint Condition. Without scratches, fresh, preferably still warm, when you can watch the last breath being breathed out, the fingers cramping, the lifeless eyes, the blood slowly — um. In any case, we are showing THE COLLECTOR and THE COLLECTION. Even for non-accumulators.

With THE COLLECTOR (2009) by Marcus Dunstan, we open the collector double for Gore Hounds and Home Invasion Aficionadas. A petty crook wants to break into his employer family's house, but in the process comes across a masked big crook called “the Collector” and his escape room full of deadly traps. Now it is time to either flee or help the captive family.

THE COLLECTION (2012) picks up pretty much right where THE COLLECTOR left off. For spoiler reasons, we are therefore holding back with plot details. Just this much: the first film was a cute chamber play against the Splatter Festival, which is offered in the second part. True to the motto “more of everything”, Marcus Dunstan continues his story and does not disappoint. By the way: THE COLLECTED, the third part of the series, should finally be in preparation. Unfortunately, it won't be ready for a triple fearture.
