Waste of time
Excellent but underrated film
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
When in the first 15 minutes of a horror movie you are expected to suspend your disbelief to a herculean degree, it doesn't bode well for the rest of it. Sure there is good gore but there's been better and the rest of the ridiculousness and tired boring clichés made me roll my eyes. If you have a lazy Sunday afternoon and you've watched all the good horror movies out there and already have a Netflix subscription, then go for it. Otherwise, there are better things (and better movies) to use your time on.
An over the top gruesome gore galore fest that makes most other horror films look like a Disney movie. If you enjoy mass murder and torture and carnage, then this is just your cup of blood. "The Collection" is quite implausible but original, if that is possible. Judging by the ending get ready for a sequel to this sequel. And a fine, grizzly time was had by one and all!
The Collection (2012), sequel to 2009's The Collector, is actually better than the first movie. I liked it better because the characters were better, had more depth, and I cared more about what happened to them. The survivor that got captured at the end of the first movie stars in this one as well. I really like his character and the actor plays him well. Being completely honest, the acting in this movie isn't top notch all the time, but it wasn't like cheap horror movie level. I really liked the main actress and her character. Her character is one you'll definitely want to root for and the actress that plays her is very talented. The plot is interesting, it's pretty different from the plot of the original. The plot this time around is more of a hunt him down type of thing. This one takes it to a new level, more people are involved and it's more intense if you ask me. I liked that the filmmakers took things to a new level with the intensity. You definitely will not be bored at any point during this movie. The writing is alright, I mean no one should expect perfect writing in a movie like this, the dialogue suffices. I do suggest both this movie and the first. If you wanna have a horror movie night that'll entertain and keep you on the edge of your seat, then I'd suggest these movies. 8/10 for The Collection.
Very similar to Saw, works as a standalone film we did not know it was a sequel until Arkin got out of the box. A simple plot line but not very gory, not very scary, not a lot of characterisation. However, it kept moving along and did what all such films do: kept things open for another go round. Good a for a quick blast of no thinking viewing.
