  I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. The home invasion premise of the original was really cool and without it the movie would not have been enjoyable, which is exactly what happens here. There's more action, more characters, but a lot less tension and scary moments. It's just bigger, louder, and not as genuinely creepy. I do think The Collector is a good horror villain, but he isn't as scary in this one. I am glad that they never go into back story for him, though. Many script writers make that mistake and it makes the characters less scary when you know their motivations. I'm not saying I'm not interested, but please do not indulge me. I thought the new characters were pretty awful, as is typical for horror sequels, and the traps were mostly the same style of stuff. There's still too much gore, but I can handle it. I know others cannot. Even after all this, it was mildly enjoyable, but an inferior sequel to what is becoming a cult classic horror film.

  This movie is strictly geared towards fans of horror movies who love blood and watching people die in crazy awesome ways. Kind of like the "Final Destination" series, only with a real bad guy. This is a sequel to "The Collector" and picks up right after that one.… More
  This movie is strictly geared towards fans of horror movies who love blood and watching people die in crazy awesome ways. Kind of like the "Final Destination" series, only with a real bad guy. This is a sequel to "The Collector" and picks up right after that one. Here The Collector kidnaps a girl and takes her to hotel that he has transformed into a maze of just crazy torture devices and death traps. When the cops, along with his last victim that got away, come to rescue her they have a lot of fun in that building to put it nicely. The death scenes are great, and it even features one of the best mass death scenes in a night club ever. But, there is little plot, and the actors that actually star in this aren't that good. But then again, that's not why you would watch this movie. Better than the original, and leaves it open to a third movie, which I'm sure will get made. Check it out if you like horror movies, but if you don't or are squeamish, then stay away at all costs.

  The Collection is one of those sequels that simply builds on the first film, and reinvents the formula to create something special. This is the sequel to The Collector, and features the titular character doing what he does best, collects bodies. This is a fun, entertaining splatter fest that will surely appeal to fans of the original, and this is just as good in terms of a good mindless horror yarn. In terms of original ideas, the film really is a refreshing take on what the first one did, and expands on the story. This is a very entertaining film that will surely delight horror fans. The film has everything that made the first one so much fun. This is a disturbing, twisted ride that has enough tricks up its sleeves to make it a worthwhile second feature. The gore and traps are the standouts of this film, and aside from the Saw films, The Collector along with this sequel are the best in the Torture Porn genre. This is one of those films that will only appeal to fans of said genre, as really this isn't for the faint of heart. Although it doesn't reinvent the genre entirely, there are still plenty of good ideas on-screen to make The Collection a good film to watch. Fans will love this one and The Collector is as twisted as ever as he is know a serial killer and hunted down by the authorities. Director Michael Dunstan does a good with this entry and though it has its faults, this is an exercise in demented horror that pays off due to its strong sense of visuals and kills that is a must for any demanding horror fan. The Collection is a good sequel that is on par with the original and delivers everything that you'd expect from this twisted series.

  Arkin: Better be prepared. Bring everything you got, because if he catches you, he's gonna make you wish you were dead. Horror fans may not have too much trouble remembering The Collector, which came out back in 2009, but others may struggle when realizing that The Collection is actually a sequel to that film. Now The Collection is not really a film that solely depends on knowledge from the previous entry and similarly it is a different sort of beast from the first film. The Collector was very much a cat and mouse thriller, set inside a house, which happened to incorporate a lot of deadly traps, labeling the film as a part of the 'torture porn' horror sub-genre. The Collection may have a similar setup, but this time the majority of the action is placed inside the hideout of the collector, which turns the film into more of a funhouse of horror traps and grizzly images, flipping the series on its head. It may or may not be worth your time, but it's a mean, lean, horror flick that is a fun enough ride. read the whole review at thecodeiszeek.com

  The Collection is a supremely disappointing follow-up to its promising predecessor, The Collector. Wherein The Collector offered legitimate scares, had an excellent sense of tension, and was largely well executed, The Collection seemingly makes a parody of that. The film starts absurd from the first scene, with a comically clichéd set up, and an increasingly absurd plot. The Collector's mechanisms are elaborate yet idiotic. His lair is an abandoned hotel seemingly in the middle of the city, populated with vagrants. The devices he utilizes seem to be a rip-off of the later Saw sequels, but with even less thought. In short, there is no element of realism to be found anywhere in the film in any way, shape, or form. The actors are mostly bad, left to inhibit characters that are vacant of any substance, in a film devoid of wit, charm, or, especially, intelligence. It's not "so bad it's good", its "so bad its bad". 1.5/5 Stars

  Fun but too far fetched. Again, how can someone set up so many traps so easily and so quickly? Despite this little plot hole, it's fun to watch so many people getting killed so quickly in 5 minutes. Definitely unpleasantly gleeful to watch, but not for everyone.

  The Collection is the sequel to the low budget, hated by critics and movie-goers alike, hard to watch The Collector, which couldn't even make $10 million at the box office. Yes, they made a sequel. Here's the thing: it wasn't horrible. Writer Marcus Dunstan is writer and director this time around. Maybe it's that he's just able to translate what he's written to screen more effectively, maybe he's developed more as a writer. I'd bet against the latter seeing as how he wrote/co-wrote every Saw from 4 on (the bad ones), and the Piranha movies. Of all the victims of this serial killer, only one has escaped. He's convinced to go back into a trap-house designed by the killer in order to find a rich mans daughter who's also been captured and may still be alive. Blood and guts, blood and guts. Is she alive and will our hero and a team of mercenaries be able to rescue her and get out alive? Who cares (KNOWS!, who KNOWS!)? The Collection is an unoriginal movie that somehow picks up at the end, making it a decent flick. The acting was bad, it was unoriginal and the dialogue was cheesy. The ending isn't very good, mind you, but it does save The Collection. I'd say it's more entertaining than anything. It's NOT going to the theaters to watch. I'm hesitant to say ANYONE needs to see it. BUT fans of horror would probably find some entertainment value in The Collection.
