The Collector (2009) watch online

The Collector is a 2009 American horror film written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and directed by Dunstan. It stars Josh Stewart, alongside Michael Reilly Burke, Andrea Roth, Juan Fernandez, Karley Scott Collins, Madeline Zima, and Robert Wisdom. The film follows handyman Arkin O'Brien (Stewart) who, in order to pay a debt, decides to rob a house, only to find out somebody with far more sinister intentions has already broken in and rigged it with multiple traps.

The original script, titled The Midnight Man, was at one point shopped as a spin-off prequel to the Saw franchise, as an origin story for the villain John Kramer / Jigsaw. The producers opposed the idea and dismissed it, but the strength of the script led to writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton writing multiple Saw films.

The Collector was released on July 31, 2009, by Freestyle Releasing. It received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $10.2 million against a $3 million budget. A sequel, The Collection, was released theatrically on November 30, 2012.
