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.”

Set over Halloween weekend in 1987, My Brothers tells the story of three boys’ journey to replace their dying father’s watch. Using a battered bread van, the brothers embark on a journey across the wild Irish landscape to get to an arcade machine in the small Irish seaside town of Ballybunion, where an identical watch resides.
Along the way they’re detoured by escalating brotherly battles in an off-beat and moving journey that eventually, changes their relationship and leads them back to their dying father. The brothers’ relationship is solid and it never loses focus on the fact that it’s about them coping with the loss of their father. All three are very good actors and it’ll be a pleasure to see them in future roles.
