After years of being punished with Saw sequels, The Collector manages to offer up a more compelling version of a similar formula, while adding a home-invasion spin to the terror.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

You can’t laugh at it. It won’t scare you. So the only reason to watch is for a gore fix.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Sep 4, 2023

For horror fans hoping to find a new slasher to engage with, The Collector is not likely the answer.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 6, 2022

Watching innocent people suffer for two hours in near silence doesn't cut it, no matter how interesting the moral turmoil of the anti-hero may be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2021

Will this be the final nail in the coffin of torture porn?

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

Even if you can ignore plot holes a mile wide, it is frankly insulting to find that most of the torture scenes are not in the least original or even affecting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2018

A thief trapped in a house with a serial killer who collects and tortures nice families is all the preamble you will need to prepare for the terror that I hid from.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 23, 2017

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).

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 8, 2015

Felt a little bit dirty watching this ugly looking, stale bit of plotless torture porn.

| Original Score: D | Jan 26, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 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...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2011

Some of the most fiercely inventive and twisted trap-based bloodletting we've had in ages.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 27, 2010

Delivers gruesomeness but not a whole lot else.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 10, 2010

It takes the rotting corpse of torture-porn out of the abandoned warehouse and Slovakian ruins and dumps it smack dab in the middle of your safe and comfy home.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 6, 2010

Relentlessly bloody and just as relentlessly idiotic deathtrap thriller for the Saw crowd.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 30, 2010

Another relentlessly violent rampage with no discernible point whatsoever.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 30, 2010

A ludicrous, gratuitous torture porn with an idiotic ending. But within those boundaries it's absolutely at the top of its game.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2010

'Horror romp' would be an apt description of the 90 minute story, only with the original concept detailed as a burglar breaking into a serial killer's home, it's difficult not to think what might have been.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2010

This is a crass, silly and baffling slice of torture porn -- with the audience being tortured, chiefly with boredom.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 25, 2010
