Trivia
There is an after-credits sequence at around 1:29:30.

Goofs
Arkin is wearing black sneakers when he enters the house, then as he's walking through, he comes across a trip wire and it shows the boot of the Collector. Then when Arkin is walking down the stairs into the basement he is wearing some worn brown boots - a total of three different pairs of shoes within 5 minutes.

Quotes
Arkin: Stupid fucking cat!

Crazy credits
There's a scene after the end credits.

Alternate versions
In order to secure the FSK-18 rating in Germany, the movie had to be cut by approx 1-2 minutes. Some violent scenes were trimmed to tone down the graphic grisly violence. The black edition Blu-ray release with light SPIO/JK approval is uncut.

The series is great, waiting on #3

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.
