Disturbing

There is something upsetting in horror movies in which the killer invades a regular persons home.  Obviously, it draws on our feelings of safety, but there is something more personal to it.  The feeling that somebody has the capability to do that to one of our loved ones.  I think the emotions it plays on are that we watch innocent people who have horrible things done to them, and we watch, completely helpless to the events.  The Collector is one of those films.  To stay that it was disturbing is an understatement.  You add in the fact that it has a helpless little girl in the plot, and you have a recipe for unsettling that I can't remember since The Last House on the Left (the remake, I never saw the first one).  On a side note, the other disturbing fact is that these movies never seem to end with justice.  The bad guy's death is too quick, or he escapes or good becomes evil - whatever it is, it never works out.  In economic times like the ones we're experiencing, I feel it is in the best interest of movie makers to have movies with justice-dealing endings.  I would say that's why the recent flurry of comic book movies has been so successful.  Look at Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, Iron Man etc... Almost all of these end with the good guy kicking the shit out of the bad guy(s).  And look at how they do in the box office.  Maybe I'm a cheeseball, but this is what I want to see in the end of a movie.  Not a weak-ass character barely winning a fight because of a lucky event.  I want to see the Hulk pound the crap out of whatever evil-doer has been working against him where that bad guy has absolutely no chance and doesn't get so much as one hit in during the fight.  I don't know, maybe that's just me.
