…and the Igor goes to:
The Collector
Bravo to The Collector this year, stepping his game up a long way from his self-titled first film where all he does is booby-trap some quaint suburban home. I mean we knew he was a psychopathic genius, but maniacal enough to booby-trap an entire warehouse?! Every room our characters step into has a new theme and new pressure points which set off catastrophic events, some as simple as a few nails, and others devastating enough to crush you in one quick slam. But ignoring The Collector’s Picasso-like trap-making, he’s also menacing enough to brainwash victims into staying like the one long-lost girl our rescue team stumbles upon. So not only can he kill you literally 1,001 ways, but he’s “persuasive” and “convincing” enough to break people down mentally too. Then we remember his obsession with creating these brand-new creatures out of body limbs and other random organic parts, showcased in these giant glass displays, and The Collector ascends to the level of a horrifying urban legend – one you talk about and fear meeting.
The Collector started his story off, The Collection made it epic, and no 2012 baddie outdueled our masked murderer in terms of this Igor.
