The Hoarder (2015)
6/10
Subverted My Expectations
28 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I will admit, I went into this film expecting something like Storage 24. Yet, to my surprise, this actually turned out to be a fairly interesting movie. There wasn't much in the way of kill scenes, and far less blood than I was expecting (though the makeup is pretty good), yet I still found myself interested. The twist about the manager being the killer actually took me by surprise as I was certain they had already killed him off, while the "monster" was someone just looking for help (I think?) The major letdown for me honestly was the lack of context. We're never really given a reason why the guy is doing what he's doing. How did he start this? Where did he learn to do this stuff? Unfortunately, those never get answered and we're left with a confusing and somewhat bittersweet ending with the protagonist seemingly doomed (albeit from her own stupidity).

Bottom line is that it's actually worth a watch, though I doubt you'll really have the urge to see it again.
