Pretty standard gore-porn.

An alright movie sandwitched between some of the most obnoxious opening titles I've ever seen and an ending that these sort of films really need to stop using. Still worth a watch but nothing special.

bad thinking man's slasher where the villain sets traps for his victims instead of tracking them down and brutally slaying them, which is not a bad thing...except this movie has nothing else to offer but the traps, which are generally uninteresting and not particualarly original.

Just awful

The ending:....Yeah not so much.

Well... It does what it's supposed to but what so many other films also do: Thrill... So if you don't care to much about plot, story evolvement, plain sense in a film or are able to set all these things aside, you're in for a ride. If you can't, don't waste you're time unless you wanna watch Saw vs. Hostel Ultra Light!

This was a decent Horror flick, although being very similar to the Saw series, it was almost like the Horror version of Home Alone because the majority was set in a house set with traps. Camera work was its disadvantage but the concept and traps were great with the right amount of blood & gore also. Josh Stewart became more likable as the film went on, especially as his character Arkin became more of a hero. Overall not the best the Horror genre has to offer, but still worth a look :)

Honestly recommend this film to any horror/thriller fans looking for something less predictable and don't hate the film just because it uses traps doesnt mean its saw =/

Well I honestly did not expect Kevin McCallister to grow up into that.

Great. A family's fate depends upon a claustrophobic game of cat and mouse between a thief and a serial killer. This movie does everything right, from the stifling horrific atmosphere to the perfectly evil, near animalistic cunning serial killer. Collector makes Jigsaw feel like Mr Rogers. A smart tense storyline with good character development coupled with flawless direction and non-stop, pulse pounding, edge of your seat action makes this a very scary thriller. Very Highly Recommended.

It was a pretty good movie til the end. Lookout i guess part 2 is on it's way.

It's like Saw date-raped Home Alone.

What happens when Kevin Mcallister grows up a bit twisted? I think what impressed me about this was the main hero not doing stupid things, a rarity in these films.

An interesting and different kind of horror film mashing a few cliches together to produce something different and unaverage. From a couple of people behind the Saw films, we are given a new premise on the home invasion film. Very similar to 2006's Them and 2008's The Strangers, but yet very unlike those films, The Collector gives us a new horror villain I am intrigued enough by to see in a sequel. Give this a rental if you want something different.

damn this was boring...

Fairly decent, standard creative-deaths horror a la the Saw films. Must say it is a vile, indefensible genre of entertainment, though - no discernible message or goal, just "fun" torture and slaughter with the villain as hero.

Somewhat frightening but ultimately ridiculous.

Okay Movie

Just terrible. Tries to be Saw, but with shittier traps and almost no plot.

The MacGuyver of torture traps and Rube Goldberg death devices makes for some interesting, if contrived, death setups. At first the grainy film stock and slow paced opening had me hoping for a suspenseful hitchcockian thriller, but unfortunately the director was so proud of the SAW inspired death devices that they become the point of the film and all the old lazy slasher film cliches take the place of a plot. The omnipotent serial killer, the eloborate traps that defy plausibility and suspense.

From the guys who gave us Feast and the last few Saw movies...This movie is a Saw knock off..with all the traps..and the ending...this movie is depressing, dark and its like watching the torture of helpless people who never seem to get a chance to avenge
