There are plenty of horror movies out there that we never hear much about. Take this one, The Collector, that MTV debuted a poster for today. I'd never even heard about it until recently, but now I'm interested in checking it out. Apparently it's a "hyper-violent, giallo-esque" home invasion thriller. That "snake parts" jar above is just a still from the movie. Producer Mickey Liddell explains: "Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have come up with a unique twist on the home invasion thriller that we think will have people gripping their seats," says Liddell. "With its stylized blend of action and horror, the movie delivers on every level."

The Collector, directed by Feast, Saw IV and Saw V writer Marcus Dunstan, follows the story of handyman and ex-con Arkin (Josh Stewart), who aims to repay a debt to his ex-wife (Daniella Alonso) by robbing his new employer's country home. Unfortunately for Arkin, a far worse enemy has already laid claim to the property – and the family. As the seconds tick down to midnight, Arkin becomes a reluctant hero trapped by a masked "Collector" in a maze of lethal invention – the Spanish Inquisition as imagined by Rube Goldberg – while trying to rescue the very family he came to rob. Sound like something a few of you may check out?
