Basically the same movie as The Collector (2009)


In that movie a guy tries to pull off a quickie easy heist to save his family. He thinks it will be quick and easy. Turns out a psycho killer is in the house and has taken the family hostage. The thief has to escape the killer and get out alive.

Totally similar premise am I right?

Btw I enjoyed Don't Breathe

Also very similar plot to the people under the stairs (1991) where the thief breaks into a house but finds himself trapped and hunted by a nutter and his dog. In that film he also finds people held hostage in the basement.

I think there are a number of films with the same premise, as turning the tables where the small time petty criminal meets a bigger criminal and becomes the victim is quite common.

Much, much better than The Collector though. That movie ran out of steam long before the end.

Not the same movie as The Collector.

Of course not. The Collector is a much MUCH better film than this piece of sh*t garbage cancer.
