The Collector is a 2009 horror film written and directed by Marcus Dunstan. It has nothing to do with the John Fowles novel by that name, or the 1965 film based upon it.

The plot involves a burglar forced by other criminals to break into a jeweler's house and steal the jewels there before midnight, in order to save the life of his wife. Once inside, he discovers that the owner--a "masked killer" in the tradition of several other horror series--has been imprisoning women there (they have been kidnapped and tortured), and placed booby-traps to prevent their escape.
