Liddell Entertainment presents a Fortress Features Production

The Collector is a 2009 horror film written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton and directed by Marcus Dunstan. Originally entitled The Midnight Man, the scripted was originally intended to be a Saw prequel, but the producers did not want to do a prequel.[1]

The plot involves a burglar (played by Josh Stewart) who breaks into an empty house with the intention of robbing a safe. Unbeknownst to him, a masked madman has already laid claim to the home, taken the family under siege, and filled the house with all sorts of lethal traps. The burglar is faced with the moral dilemma of fleeing or saving the family. However, escaping proves to be much harder than he ever could have imagined.
