This was Okish ..... nothing new and nothing special.
I never ended up seeing it but I felt that it would truck down the pathway The Strangers took. That pathway being: the trailer made it look good, it got me intrigued but let me down due to lack of exploration and ideas that weren't fully developed.
I enjoyed The Strangers though ..... It had a real edgy feel about it.

No wee wee either? Definately not Jintastic if that's the case.
Eh. It had its moments, but it definitely had a lot of plot holes and mentioned things that were never really followed up on. Hopefully the sequel will shed a bit more light on the character, if it ever sees the light of day.
Bo & I just watched this last night. Me for the first time. I had no idea what I was in fer, never saw the trailer. I agree with ya Raegan, the story did seem dicey. The score was bad ass, nubs!
I appreciated Depeche Mode in the random stripper club, yanno, for the extra T&A in the flick

Who composed the score for it?

I believe it was Korky Bucheck.
I'm bucking the trend here and saying it was really enjoyable. Yes, there were plot holes the size of a small continent, but I didn't care. I was thoroughly entertained being a gore lover. The traps were interesting and well executed (no pun intended). It was just what I signed up for in watching it. Definitely looking forward to part 2.
Hight Tension had a plot-hole "big enough to drive a truck through." I still enjoyed it.
Here is a small list of things I learned from this movie. Even though I enjoyed this movie it had flaws.
1. When 3 wasps lands on your hand you just look at them instead of swating them away like 99.9% of the human race would.
2. The Collector is the fastest worker on the planet, having time to exterminate and then go home and change into his 'Collector' gear and then set all the traps in a matter of hours.
3. Then dragging a chest with a 200 pound man into the house.
4. The Collector, despite being what looks like 169 pounds, can drag a chest with a 200 pound man up a flight of stairs.
5. The Collector likes to make more work for himself by dragging the chest/man up the stairs as opposed to just setting it/him in the living room.
6. The Collector is in fact The Gimp from Pulp Fiction.
7. The Collector is a rip off of The Gimp from Pulp Ficiton.
8. This is a prequel to Pulp Fiction, giving us The Gimps backstory, and his ultimate fate, which is getting punched out by Bruce Willis and left to get tortured by Marsalis Wallace's thugs.
9. The Collector drives a white van that the police will immediately find.
10. The police officer upon catching The Collector, fails to see the dog in the wide open field right in front of him.
11. When youve almost been killed by a dangerous serial killer and you're on your way to the hospital, there will be NO police escort.
12. The Collector's/police shotgun can blow holes thru doors.
13. You can kill a dog by putting flaming toilet paper and a bucket on its head.
14. The lead is strong enough, after all hes been thru, to throw said dog across a room, full force "Paranormal Activity" style at The Collector.
15. Despite having a chandalier full of knives impail him, The Collector has the ability to "shake it off" and move on to the rest of his night.
16. The little girl, hiding the whole movie, decides to look out the window just as the lead is getting away, and decides to pound and yell as hard as she can, despite knowing The Collector will prob hear her.
17. Apparently the couple shoot alot, as there are no bullets in the bullet box.
18. When youve been fighting for your life all night long, and tired, and weak, and cant figure how to get out of the house, and The Collector is coming for you on the other side of the door, you come up with a plan to flood the floor and drop a tv in hopes of electrocuting The Collector.
19. The Collector is psychic and knew you'd try this, so he has a corpse handy to throw on the floor to avoid electrocution.
Shit. A list of 19 things is more than a few flaws, as far as I'm concerned. I thought MacGyver got fed up with not being a household name anymore and took on The Collector gig to either remind us who he was or add more credibility to his name.

Number 2. bugged the shit out of me
The one thing that truly bugged me about the film was "WHY?" the collector would set up so many traps when he didn't exactly count on Arkin coming, probably didn't plan for his hostages to escape, and actually caught his hostages in a matter of seconds. Goes hand in hand with Dodgson's #2 (the rest of his list I can mostly chalk up to a mix of circumstances and artistic license).
Otherwise, I thought the film was above-average for sure: suspense throughout the latter half and some moments of very nice direction. I didn't notice the score on my first viewing, but I'm willing to give it a re-watch to make a better judgment on the matter. At this moment I give The Collector a solid 6.5/10
Heh. I think I gave it a 7/10 at the time.
