For handyman and ex-con Arkin (Josh Stewart), a quiet home and a family on vacation is an “opportunity”. For inside the house lies a jeweler’s safe, and inside the safe is a rare gem – his only hope for repaying his ex-wife’s debt and keeping what’s left of his family intact. Unfortunately for Arkin, inside the house is also a box containing the latest specimen in a collection catalogued in blood, bone and tears - a human specimen packaged as bait.
While the trap may have already sprung shut on parents Michael (Michael Reiily Burke) and Victoria (Andrea Roth), the jaws have yet to close on teenage daughter Jill and eight-year old Hannah (Karley Scott Collins). As the seconds tick down to midnight, Arkin becomes a reluctant hero trapped by a masked “Collector” (Juan Fernandez) in a maze of lethal invention, trying to rescue the very family he came to rob. From Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, the twisted minds behind Saw IV, V and VI, The Collector emerges as a real-time game of cat-and-mouse, melding primal horror with suspense thriller.
