If you didn't already know The Collector was written by two Saw franchise hacks, and directed by one of them, it would soon become as obvious as a fish hook to the face.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
A sub-Saw knockoff that manages to be brutal yet monotonous, not to mention monstrously unpleasant.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
This is the sort of cheap bilking that separates completists from masochists; the brief suffering onscreen is nothing compared with the agony scary-movie buffs will feel after being so thoroughly cheated.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Rotten
One of the more doltish entries in the torture subgenre.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
