Biggest Swing

The film peaks with Arkin's heroic rescue of Hannah but crashes with the criticized sequel-bait ending that reviewers felt was unnecessary.

The Collector starts slowly but builds to effective tension once the trap-filled house is discovered. While horror fans praised the inventive gore and cat-and-mouse dynamics, the film stumbles with an ending that many felt went on too long and undermined the otherwise satisfying conclusion.
