The new horror and torture subgenre comes with The Collection
After a stint in prison, Arkin (Josh Stewart) finds employment as a handyman. But Arkin decides to rob his boss in order to repay his ex-wife (Daniella Alonso). Venturing to his employer’s remote country house to make the heist, he soon finds himself — as well as the boss’ family — at the mercy of “The Collector.” This masked menace turns the house into a maze of fiendish traps. Only Arkin’s wits offer any hope of escape from gruesome death. This bloody, visceral entry in the “torture porn” genre is the directorial debut of screenwriter Marcus Dunstan, whose previous credits include Feast and Saw IV.
The Collector stands out as a film that resists compromise on the screen. He is not exactly identical to any other horror villain, is an amalgamation of various villains with his unique identifying feature being that he collects people, so to speak. Certainly If all you know how to do to make people squirm in their seats is play techno music and rely on way too much fake blood you shouldn’t be making movies but you have the option to stayed in your seat or leave it!
Marcus Dunstan talked about his movie: “I grew up with horror movies and we had to create the attic and box and set up the path of the collector’s mind, we had to build up the lashes, The character tried to protect his family so maybe we can continue with a second part but we have to review many things that we still have to answer and create a good sequel!”
Emma Fitzpatrick: “During the process of this character, I only had emotional scars, she makes you to think and identify some options for escaping and something was wrong and she always defeat until the last second.”
Patrick Melton: “My character has to face risky moments especially when he is involved with blood and a sickness mind, is really a challenge.”

She does look old, she looks good but she does look old that is what old looks like and everyone better get used to it because it happens to all of us. Especially with the iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren at 78, who put models 50 years younger to shame when she arrived at the launch of Pirelli’s annual calendar on Tuesday night in Rio de Janeiro.

Corey Feldman stars in the new indie horror film, “6 Degrees of Hell,” which was shot at the Hotel of Horror haunted house in Ross Township, Pa., a few miles north of the Slate Belt. “Uncle Jack’s Hotel of Horror” is besieged by a dark presence after two friends of “Uncle” Jack, Chris and Kellen, unwittingly release a deadly evil by transporting local psychic Mary Wilkins’ collection of haunted objects as props for the popular tourist attraction. At the same time, a local TV ghost hunter, confronts an evil that has haunted him all his life-one he believes is responsible for his sister’s death years ago. His search puts him in the path of a rogue police chief and June-a girl who seems to be the eye of this supernatural perfect storm. They all find themselves connected to the old hotel while the threads of their own personal horrors draw paranormal investigator Kyle Brenner (Feldman) to pull all the threads together.
This movie has turned into a total creep but is an excellent film in many takes especially in the hunter times. Two thumbs up!

Rust and Bone is an intense love story from the director of the highly-acclaimed The Prophet. When Alain (Matthias Schoenaerts) is put in charge of his young son, he decides to make a break of it and leaves his native Belgium to restart his life with his sister in Antibes. But the new start is turned upside down when he starts a relationship with Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard), the beautiful trainer of killer whales. It’s when Stéphanie has a serious accident that their connection really turns into something profound. French dialogue is arguably and beautiful for this movie especially after she suffers a horrible accident. This is a tremendously acted and directed drama, and the spark of love between Cotillard and Schoenaerts after they have sex for the first time is exciting and moving. Great film, plot, and acting, although the film has sub titles, this did not detract from it whatsoever gripped from start to finish.
