Official Announcement for ‘The Collector’ DVD/Blu-ray Release!
Remember that prequel to Saw that was eventually turned into its own film? It’s finally hitting a retailer near you! A simple heist turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in the “stylish and confident high-concept thriller” (Variety) The Collector, arriving on Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD April 6 from Genius Products and Vivendi Entertainment. An underground edge-of-your-seat spine-chiller, garnering a $7.7 million box office, The Collector follows the story of Arkin, a handyman and ex-con who aims to repay his debt to his ex-wife by robbing his new employer’s country home. Little does he know, a far worse enemy has already laid claim to the property – and Arkin finds himself a reluctant hero trapped by a masked “Collector” in a maze of lethal invention. Featuring gripping performances from Josh Stewart (Law Abiding Citizen), Madeline Zima (“Californication”) and Andrea Roth (“Rescue Me”), The Collector is the directorial debut of screenwriter Marcus Dunstan (Saw IV- VI, Feast I- III). With special features including an alternate ending, deleted scenes, commentary and more, The Collector will be available on Blu-ray Disc and DVD for the suggested retail price of $24.99 and $24.95 respectively.
“Desperate to repay his debt to his ex-wife, an ex-con plots a heist at his new employer’s country home, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.”

The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
