This is one of those week where you think “why even bother?” as it appears that there’s nothing really cool or exciting hitting DVD, though there is a gem hitting select theaters that may be worth your time. That’s right, THE COLLECTOR is debuting with promises to introduce us to a whole new movie maniac to cheer for. All DVD has for us is the Lance Henriksen flick NECESSARY EVIL, Zoe Bell in the made-for-the-web action flick ANGEL OF DEATH, and a little click called ACOLYTES. Check out THE COLLECTOR and if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to hit up ORPHAN… that movie rocks, yo!

Handyman and ex-con Arkin aims to repay a debt to his ex-wife by robbing his new employer’s country home.
