An interesting peek inside a world few people even realize, or want to realize, exists.

As a documentary, Collectors is nothing short of fascinating.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 1, 2000

As distasteful as it is compulsively watchable.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Ultimately, The Collectors surrenders to the same fascination it documents -- gawking in wonder, if not approval.

| Jan 1, 2000

Ultimately [Hobbs's] film doesn't shed much light on the motives that drive Allen, Staton and, by extension, others like them.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 1, 2000

The movie has no soul. Watching it is like observing a macabre dog and pony show.

| Jan 1, 2000

It's all very fascinating, but one thing is missing: Hobbs never attempts to probe the minds of Staton ... and Allen to find out what is behind their morbid obsession.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

How far can black humor go before it crosses the line into from mere tastelessness into abject inhumanity? And does the fact that I enjoyed immensely this gruesomely mesmerizing film mean I've crossed that line?

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 1, 2000

Their ghoulishness is so repugnant it's fascinating.

| Jan 1, 2000

Dark and voyeuristically compelling.

| Jan 1, 2000

Clumsily managed and trivialized.

| Jan 1, 2000

The effect is coolly appalling.
