The Collection (2012) movie poster

The Collection is the sequel to the 2009 movie The Collector, each directed by Marcus Dunstan. The movie posters for the 2 movies are almost the same so you may have seen one movie but might not be sure which one.

After escaping from a serial killer known as The Collector a man is sent back to the serial killer’s hideout to rescue a kidnapped girl. The only problem is that hideout is a booby trapped maze he needs to get thru to save the girl. And by booby trapped, I mean Saw levels of pain and creativity. Can he save her in time ? If I told you I would need to write spoiler and then give you the answer. But I didn’t so you’ll need to watch this on your own to get the answer.

If there is one thing I disagree with the critics on is that this movie is more poorly reviewed than the first installment The Collector. I completely disagree. While that movie is fine, this sequel is a much better movie. I give The Collection a 7.5 / 10. The movie can be found on streaming for free and it is only 82 minutes ! They edited out all of the boring parts and were left with a nice tight movie. See this movie and enjoy the carnage !

UPDATE: After years of “development hell” it seems that The Collector 3 appears to be back in development. I will be watching for updates. It also has initial artwork that suggests the movie poster will be a similar version to parts 1 & 2.
