Review of The Collection (2012) by Thequietgamer — 13 Aug 2013

This sequel to 2009's "The Collector" continues the trend of using "Saw" style traps to let audiences revel in blood and gore. If you enjoy torture-porn flicks then you will like this and know what to expect.

Horror movie fans might find themselves alienated do to the lack of any sort of scares and a focus gruesome and bloody kills. That being said the movie is still highly watchable, it just has some issues that keep it from being considered a great movie.

Just like its predecessor "The Collection" is basically just one intense game of cat and mouse. It's entertaining enough to keep you watching, but lacks any sort of meaningful plot. For instance we get to see the killer do all sorts of sick and twisted things, but we never get any sort of reasoning as to why he does what he does.

This clearly shows that the focus is on the blood and gore, but it would have been nice to know what made the killer tick, and what pushed him over the edge. Still if you go into this just expecting to see some gruesome deaths and wont mind a lackluster plot then "The Collection" might entertain.

Just keep in mind that it's not the greatest flick out there.
