A focus on grisly traps, the use of blue and green colour filters, slow motion action sequences and close-ups of bodily injuries abound. The influence of the Saw franchise, and the fact that The Collector was originally pitched as a Jigsaw prequel, is readily evident in the finished film, which bears many of the same visual and narrative tropes. The pair previously collaborated on Saw IV & V, as well as the first and the third entries of the Project Greenlight series, Feast. ![]() Production History: The Collector was co-written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton and directed by the former. This is my experience with The Collector, the 2009 double home invasion that was followed by 2012’s The Collection and a currently unscheduled third entry in the franchise entitled The Collected. Unlike audiences who went in cold in 2009, I went into my first time watch knowing the critical and audience reception, its connection to a pre-existing franchise and, most importantly, the fact that it is the first film in a trilogy. It’s a fun/odd experiment to watch a film for the first time in order to celebrate its 10th anniversary. ![]()
