The Collector (2018) dives into the twisted psyche of a serial killer named Alexis, who meticulously gathers the traits of his victims. It's an unsettling thriller, blending tension with a palpable atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing that creeping dread to sink in as Angelos, the aspiring writer, becomes infatuated with Alexis's dark world. What’s striking here is how it explores obsession—not just in Alexis’s collecting, but also Angelos’s desperate need to understand him. The practical effects are gritty, adding another layer to the film's unsettling charm. Performances are strong, with a rawness that enhances the disturbing themes woven throughout. It’s not your usual thriller, and that's what makes it stand out.
