I have to say that I have seen a lot of horror movies and this by far trumps them all. Although many seem to think it is a copy or is trying to go for the Saw movies in terms of style and setting, The Collection is in a whole different category by itself. From start to finish I left the theater satisfied as I might ever be after seeing that movie. It is mysterious and well directed. I say mysterious, because you think you know what is going to happen, but really you have no idea what you are in for. Without a doubt, The Collection is far more greater than its prequel The Collector. However, The Collector in terms of its intensity throughout its movie is far more greater then The Collection. The Collection proves itself to be true and worthy in the genre of horror for sure. With all these B-movie, low-cut, ridiculous movies these days in the horror genre, The Collection makes the first Halloween look bad. Josh Stewart who reprises his role as Arkin, does a phenomenal job. He fits the role as Arkin so well and I don't think anyone could have played his role any better. Throughout the movie he gives off the feeling that he is done and wants nothing more to do with the collector, but in all truth, you leave with the question is he really done? Emma Fitzpatrick, who plays the role of Elena,also does a phenomenal job as well. I was very proud that none of the female characters had the same characteristics, personalities, and attributes like you see in other horror movies. Though that might sound sexist, I am not trying to go down that road. I am merely trying to say that in horror movies the women always run screaming making it easier for the killer to catch them, they always beg and beg as if the serial killer won't kill them, and other feminine character traits and things the writers always have the characters do. Elena is not afraid to fight and gives her character a bad-ass reputation. Overall, you will leave this movie satisfied and wanting more. I give this movie a 10, because Marcus Dunstan did his own thing and directed this movie tremendously. The setting was mere perfect in the sense that it isn't always in the woods,on a farm, the middle of nowhere, and other repeating settings. Its screenplay was written with perfection and and perfected by the actors and actrices themselves. The movie itself is real, it makes you feel real as if you are one of the victims of The Collector. The movie is also very realistic. The blood and gore though it is not real, seems to be after you watch it. The guts were realistic and not fake in any way. The whole movie is just one genuine piece that cannot be made ever again in terms of someone else trying to remake it. The movie just makes all these horror movies look bad, and I cannot stress that enough. The Collection is far more better then the first movie The Collector, and carries The Collector on its back if you want to make a case for it. Rarely do you see a sequel better then the first movie, but in this case you do. You cannot go wrong with this movie and if you do, well you must not be seeing the movie for what it really is. The plot, the setting, the characters, the outcome is simply put a work of art and will have you wanting more as I mentioned before. Arkin wants revenge, and you will be able to feel that, when you watch it, you will feel Arkin's pain, his want for revenge, his story, his life, but mostly you will feel as if you are Arkin, because you are.
