Not an adap of the John Fowles novel, The Collector instead is a ludicrous, gratuitous torture porn with an idiotic ending. But within those boundaries it’s absolutely at the top of its game.
Saw alumnus Marcus Dunstan brings tension, ingenuity and, surprisingly, heart, to his genre-switching, arm-chewing directing debut, where Michael Reilly Burke’s charismatic burglar stumbles upon a tricked-out house whose inhabitants are being abused by a nutter.

It’s everything that Saw was and isn’t any more.
