Viewing Notes

Fifth movie on Day 5 at FF2014. A Latvian spin on the initial premise of THE COLLECTOR in which a home invader has an unexpected guest. More dark comedy than horror but with enough ambiguity to keep you wondering what the hell is going on. Who are these dudes with the orange jacket? Or is it all in his head? And what is that noise in the basement?! You won’t get many answers but this is a tight 70 minute thriller that had me 100% glued. Totally the kind of movie I attend Fantastic Fest to see.
