Fangoria got their hands on the first one-sheet for THE COLLECTOR, the new killer-contraption thriller from writers Marcus Dunston and Patrick Melton – and may I say it’s just adorable? After looking at this image, who the heck isn’t going to want their own “Collector” doll come this Christmas?


THE COLLECTOR follows the story of handyman and ex-con Arkin, who aims to repay a debt to his ex-wife by robbing his new employer’s country home. Unfortunately for Arkin, a far worse enemy has already laid claim to the property—and the family. As the seconds tick down to midnight, Arkin becomes a reluctant hero trapped by a masked ‘Collector’ in a maze of lethal invention—the Spanish Inquisition as imagined by Rube Goldberg—while trying to rescue the very family he came to rob.

Based on that synopsis, is it any surprise that these guys have written the last 3 SAW flicks? Still, this is their baby, so we’ll give it a shot. We love the Spanish Inquisition, as is… THE COLLECTOR, starring Josh Stewart, Michael Reilly Burke. Andrea Roth and Daniella Alonso (pictured below) opens on JULY 31st.
