Why it’s HorroRated
The Collector is exactly what a tight siege horror should be. The trap design is inventive, the location is used intelligently, and Juan Fernandez brings something threatening to the villain role. The Saw prequel DNA gives it a mechanical satisfaction that works in its favor. A lean, effective film.
Synopsis
Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan's script was originally developed as a Saw prequel and the DNA is visible, but the film works as a standalone siege horror with a strong central threat. The trap design is inventive and Juan Fernandez brings something threatening to the Collector role. A lean, effective film.
