THE COLLECTOR
THE COLLECTOR emerges as a real-time game of cat-and-mouse, melding primal horror with suspense thriller. The story unfolds as a handyman robs a family’s country house, only to discover something far more sinister already happening there.
The film was theatrically released in the US July 31st by Freestyle Releasing and collected, so to speak, US$ 8 million at the US box office. Picture was written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, the creative minds behind Saw IV, V and the just released Saw VI, and directed by Dunstan. The feature stars Josh Stewart (Law Abiding Citizen, Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Michael Reilly Burke (Death of a President, Mars Attacks), Andrea Roth (The Skeptic, The Stepdaughter), and Madeline Zima (A Cinderella Story, Till There Was You).
Edward Noeltner, President and CEO of Cinema Management Group stated, “We see THE COLLECTOR as a very strong and exciting addition to our AFM line-up and beyond.”
Mickey Liddell, head of Liddell Entertainment stated, “I’m happy to be partnering up with Edward Noeltner and CMG for THE COLLECTOR. It’s a special kind of thriller and we see a broad audience overseas for this movie. Marcus and Patrick did a great job of taking their script and translating it to the big screen.”
"a surprisingly stylish and confident high-concept
thriller..." "...the execution, so to speak, is first-rate."
