Critics Consensus

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

1/5
Relentlessly bloody and just as relentlessly idiotic deathtrap thriller for the Saw crowd. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 06/25/2010

This is a crass, silly and baffling slice of torture porn -- with the audience being tortured, chiefly with boredom. Go to Full Review Kat Halstead Little White Lies 06/25/2010

It's a truly creepy concept which, inevitably, leaves room for a sequel. Go to Full Review Sydney Lee Horror Movie Talk Dec 4

4/5
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. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/04/2023

Damien C @Dddmmmaaannn Dec 12 A bit of a stretch but overall a good movie worth the watch. See more Idodeclareindeed B @Idodeclareindeed Nov 10 A solid, freaky, gory horror movie. Not sure why the ratings are so bad. The plot is basic, there are lots of cool traps, so if you're a fan of SAW you should like this. See more Lilia C. @LiliaLove Oct 26 People don’t talk about it enough. It’s a solid film and a fun watch See more Mania I. @TheMania510 Oct 15 Originally to be set in the "Saw" world this little gem slipped under the radar. Tense and taint this thriller will have you on your seat. The sequel is even better. Great direction and cast. See more zach s Sep 12 The acting is a little off in the first act but once the thrills get going, the movie is quite entertaining! See more Tiffany S. @xxSnowx_ Aug 1 Basic boring traps and uninteresting story line. You don’t know much of anything about this family so the emotional impact isn’t there. You can get better traps with more shock and “will they or won’t they live” from any of the saw movies See more Read all reviews
