      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Increasingly tedious displays of gore makes this torture porn home-invasion-horror more programmatic than provocative.

      Jules N Un film qui ne réinvente pas le genre et qui utilise ce qui fonctionnait le mieux à l'époque (torture-porn), mais qui à l'honneur de bien le faire. Une ambiance très oppressante et glauque est assez vite mise en place. De plus le concept du collectionneur est plutôt original mais sera surtout approfondi dans le second film… Très bon film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Priyan B Felt a bit stretched at the end and I don't like the ending but overall movie is decent. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Andrea C Horror cupo e con una trama più elaborata di quello che vuole far credere allo spettatore che vi si approccia. Le atmosfere particolarmente buie rendono difficile l'elaborazione del progetto che ovviamente deve vivere di luci artificiali che talvolta sono un po' troppo macroscopiche. Tutto sommato la sceneggiatura è sempre ben sviluppata anche se ovviamente con una trama del genere le forzature sono continue e abbastanza evidenti; solo a tratti però marchiane e mal gestite. Il finale è un ottimo colpo di scena, anche questo non da sottovalutare. Gli attori, ad eccezione del protagonista, sono davvero difficili da guardare purtroppo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Luke Better than enticipated. Actually kept me on the edge of my seat and interested until the end. The end was stupid though not because of the killer but because of the police and paramedics. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review James N Don't know why it was titled The Collector as it has next to nothing to do with the novel or 1965 movie. Either way, it's a phobe especially for the ass on acting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Valok P The Collector has an interesting approach to a home invasion premise, but is quickly snared in an endless Hell full of unwarrented and excessive violence and sexuality. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Relentlessly bloody and just as relentlessly idiotic deathtrap thriller for the Saw crowd. Rated: 1/5 Jun 30, 2010 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian This is a crass, silly and baffling slice of torture porn -- with the audience being tortured, chiefly with boredom. Rated: 1/5 Jun 25, 2010 Full Review Kat Halstead Little White Lies It's a truly creepy concept which, inevitably, leaves room for a sequel. Rated: 3/5 Jun 25, 2010 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review You can’t laugh at it. It won’t scare you. So the only reason to watch is for a gore fix. Rated: 0.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight For horror fans hoping to find a new slasher to engage with, The Collector is not likely the answer. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
