Leave your thoughts about The Collector.
| VarietyJohn AndersonWith both feet planted firmly on the sticky accelerator of the torture-porn vehicle, The Collector is a surprisingly stylish and confident high-concept thriller. |
| Film ThreatStina ChynThe Collector’s destructive behavior enters the realm of the ridiculous before it ever touches the land of evil-badassness. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonMaking his directorial debut, Dunstan displays a knack for building suspense. And yet, weirdly, amidst all the requisite blood spray, one senses a reluctance on the filmmaker’s part to linger lovingly over the pierced skins and protruding entrails of the killer’s various victims. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaEither you go for this sort of extreme, senseless gore or you don't. With its plot and lead performance, The Collector is, at least, an unusual specimen. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasFor his directorial debut, The Collector, Dunstan streamlines the "Saw" concept slightly by silencing the killer and focusing more intently on a house that’s been converted into a jury-rigged deathtrap. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe Collector feels like the final, welcome nail in the bizarrely popular torture-porn coffin. |

| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOffers agony in a vacuum, a villain without a motive and a hero with more personal problems than lines of dialogue. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisAnother helping of egregious slicing and slashing. |
