The Collector
Desperate for money to pay off a debt, a man targets a wealthy family's home and plans to break in and steal a valuable gem, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.

Delivers gruesomeness but not a whole lot else.August 03, 2009
One trap leaves a woman impaled on a movie screen, producing an image that succinctly if literally sums up a genre's cynicism.August 05, 2009
This is the sort of cheap bilking that separates completists from masochists; the brief suffering onscreen is nothing compared with the agony scary-movie buffs will feel after being so thoroughly cheated.October 27, 2010
Some of the most fiercely inventive and twisted trap-based bloodletting we've had in ages.July 12, 2012
The Collector has a strong co-lead in Josh Stewart; empathy for this wayward character and a depth that some deftly-handled backstory provides is very welcome.January 26, 2014
Felt a little bit dirty watching this ugly looking, stale bit of plotless torture porn.October 30, 2009
If you didn't already know The Collector was written by two Saw franchise hacks, and directed by one of them, it would soon become as obvious as a fish hook to the face.February 03, 2011
It's not a classic, but I have a good feeling about The Collector as a new horror villain with a bit of mileage...August 05, 2009
A sub-Saw knockoff that manages to be brutal yet monotonous, not to mention monstrously unpleasant.August 03, 2009
One of the more doltish entries in the torture subgenre.October 30, 2009
Watching The Collector becomes an experience not so much of dread as big virtual ouches.November 08, 2015
Plays like a collection of outtakes from some "Saw" script that never saw the light of day (or, heaven forbid, has yet to be made).
