Critics Consensus

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

The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 The Collector | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Alexis J Home Alone for adults that like gore and industrial music and grainy camera Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Charles C With fairly enjoyable lead character, a horror icon that has potential, gruesome gore effects and eerie lighting, make horror version of home alone a underrated horror gem. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review 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.
