I am a Marcus Dunstan fan ever since I saw Feast. However, Feast was a comedic gore fest with crude humour and boisterous characters, Dunstan has opted to take a different path with this film.
Arkin O'Brien (Stewart) moonlights as a cat burglar but during the day he does handyman work for a well off family in the sticks. As his girlfriends debt deadline nears, Arkin is forced to use his skills against his clients home and crack the safe to steal some high priced goods. Unbeknownst to him a serial killer, The Collector, has taken the family hostage in their home in order to commit his nefarious need to kill and collect. Cat and mouse games ensue while Arkin attempts to escape the killer and rescue the family.
This flew under the radar for most and did not have a theatrical release that was very noticeable but then again neither did Shawshank. This movie proves that a small budget and decent camera work can earn you a loyal fan base. The 3rd installment will be release sometime this year and this reviewer can't wait. The The collection was also a worthy sequel which explores the killer a bit more. Watch the whole series it's better than most.
