How far would you go to protect the things you love?
Earl has spent years building his prized McFarlane collection. To him, they're more than action figures—they're everything.
But when his father discovers just how much Earl has spent on his obsession, a simple confrontation quickly spirals completely out of control.
THE COLLECTOR is a dark comedy thriller about obsession, family, and the terrifying line between loving something... and losing yourself to it.
Inspired by the culture of collecting and based on an almost true story, this original short film from 10th Legion Pictures blends psychological tension, absurd humor, and a story that takes a very unexpected turn.
If you love dark comedy, psychological thrillers, indie horror, horror comedy, collector culture, McFarlane figures, and original short films, you're going to want to see where this one goes.
