Collecting some more

I assume you have seen the first movie (called The Collector), by the same director. While it seems he only directs this series, he also has credits as writer (for the Feast and the Piranha 3DD and other "funny" horror movies). Now this has some funny moments too, it does look good (on Blu Ray), but it also almost plays more like an action movie than a straight horror movie.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. You just need to be aware of it. There still will be blood and you will get some crazy traps (which might remind you of things that could also have been in Saw). The movie itself as a sequel reminds me more of the direct sequel to "Laid to Rest". That was more action orientated as well. But I'm not trying to put it into a box ... ;o)

Seriously though: Good enough acting, the obvious plot holes and a nice ending. I also suggest you watch the "alternate scenes" on the disc! There is an extended ending there, plus a different "fate" for one of the "crew". You see when you watch the movie.

The Collector Keeps On Collecting

After the horrific events at the Chase family's home, and being captured by a brutal killer known as the Collector, Arkin (Josh Stewart) manages to escape his box prison and is recovering in hospital when he's approached by Lucello, an "employee" of an extremely wealthy businessman. Arkin learns that the businessman's daughter, Elena, has been kidnapped by the Collector and his help is required to get her back at any cost. Reluctantly willing to help, Arkin finds himself once again involved in a deadly game of survival, only this time the game is on the Collector's own turf.

After enjoying The Collector, I was looking forward to watching this sequel and while it's not as good as the first film I still found that it was worth the watch. This one definitely has much more of a Saw type of feel to it than the first as well which in one way is good because it generates a similar kind of dark, tense atmosphere but is bad in another way in that it's not very original BECAUSE it's just like Saw.

While there's a good amount of tension to this movie, I feel that it lacks the suspense of the first. The first had much more of a cat and mouse feel to it probably because it was in such a refined space like a house which brought about a good sense of claustrophobia. Here, even though the people are still trapped inside a building, it's a much bigger building and it just feels more open.

The movie comes at you right from the start and thankfully it keeps a decent pace. So many movies throw you right in at the deep end at the start but fail to keep you interested afterwards. The Collection doesn't do that, and after such an intense start, it keeps the pace up pretty well.

Gore fans should enjoy this one too, as that has been ramped up from the first one.

All in all, while The Collection isn't a cinematic masterpiece (and at least is doesn't pretend to be either), it's still a good movie to watch. Recommended, especially if you enjoy movies like Saw.

A step up

THE COLLECTION, a sequel to the torture porn flick THE COLLECTOR, is a mild step up from the first and a little more entertaining - if you can call watching people getting killed in increasingly gruesome ways entertaining.

The story sees the return of Arkin, the erstwhile hero of the first movie, as he manages to escape from the clutches of the devious killer only to find himself forced at gunpoint to undertake a new, even more dangerous job: he's forced to lead a team into the collector's home, a long-abandoned hotel, to rescue a kidnapped girl.

What follows is decidedly more action-orientated than the first film, and on a bigger scale. The opening scene, a massacre in a nightclub, seems to be a nod to BLADE. The traps are bigger and broader here, and the bloodshed flows in equal measure, although this seems less interested in the depiction of pain and more keen to show dismemberment and gore on a large scale. Still, THE COLLECTION is fast paced and has a great ending, so it's not all doom and gloom. Josh Stewart is a welcome return from the first film, although newcomer Christopher McDonald steals his scenes with an assured and confident performance.
