The Collection (2012) I recently grabbed off Vudu for $3.99. The storyline involves a woman who sneaks into an exclusive party only to discover The Collector has targeted this party with his next set of booby traps. A viscous killing spree begins where in the process the woman meets Arkin from the first film who may be the only person who can help her survive. Meanwhile, a group of mercenaries are hired to infiltrate the party and rescue survivors...sounds like an excuse for body count. This movie is directed by Marcus Dunstand (The Collector and Into the Dark) and stars Josh Stewart (Tenet), Emma Fitzpatrick (Before we Go), Christopher McDonald (Requiem for a Dream) and Lee Tergesen (Oz). These movies are a lot of fun with fantastic special effects, great kill sequences, and unpredictable traps that lead to a few good jumpy scenes. These movies are a bit too over the top in a "how could he plan for all that" kind of way, but it doesn't detract from the entertainment value of the film. These are very solid additions to the horror genre and must see for fans of the genre. I wouldn't put them in the classic category but would strongly recommend seeing them. I'd score this a 7-7.5/10.
