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
1/5
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
3/5
It's a truly creepy concept which, inevitably, leaves room for a sequel. Go to Full Review Sydney Lee Horror Movie Talk Dec 4

It’s fun, it’s inventive, there are a lot of unexpected twists and turns that keep you captivated... If you like gore, if you like interesting kills and action packed scary movies, this one’s for you. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 09/20/2023
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

You can’t laugh at it. It won’t scare you. So the only reason to watch is for a gore fix. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jorge H @jorge02 Apr 11 Thr torture scenes and action of the movie makes it scary enough to deliver good thrills See more Stanny R @StannyMC Feb 28 Not bad but gets repetitive after a while. Some fun effects going off but the story is generic and the motive ill-explained. See more Oaklee D @ODie63 Feb 2 As far as the torture porn horror subgenre goes, you could do a lot worse than this wannabe saw spinoff. See more Kiara A @Kikipowergirl Jan 18 Uma merda, estão passando fome em casa pra não terminar essa merda direito, tudo POR UMA CONTINUAÇÃO Q EU CONCERTEZA NAO VOU VER SO DE RAIVA, espero q o segundo filme tenha válido uma fortuna e q a bilheteria não tenha dado lucro, não assistam, apenas vão passar raiva, muito sangue e tortura sem sentido. Filmografia do filme péssimo para um filme de 2009 que já está avançado nos filmes, personagens feios, crianças burras, vilão chato, não teve sentindo no final pra que algo bom se depois acabou. Horrível, não assistam See more 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 Read all reviews
