The Collector kidnaps and transports her to an abandoned hotel he's transformed into his own private maze of torture and death. Upon learning of his daughter's disappearance, Elena's wealthy father (Christopher McDonald) hires a group of mercenaries to retrieve her from the vicious grips of The Collector.

Just a pointless exercise in sadism.
People in Hollywood need to work and surely "The Collection" created a lot of jobs, but there must be a better way.
Dull and repetitive, even by the standards of an already repetitive genre.
Melton and Dunstan have created little more than a hollow shell for an empty box.
There's a bad movie every week, but it takes a special one to make you start anticipating the decline of Western civilization.
More than anything, the sequel feels like an excuse for Dunstan and his effects team to see how creative they can be in the bloody killing of people using pointy metal objects.
Top CriticMuch splattery nonsense ensues -- some of it rather unpleasantly sadistic, and none of it particularly clever.
Most of the rampant gore effects are too sloppy to be interesting...
An exercise in pure sadism, The Collection moves at a clip that leaps over plot holes in its race to elicit fright. No weighty psychology or physical logic freights this enterprise.
Not scary but rather is just a disgusting exercise in gore, dismemberment and bloodletting.
Just buckets of the same old boring gore.
Comes off as a disappointment, failing to live up to its sequel potential by advancing the conflict and expanding murderous appetites in an exciting, imaginative manner.
The Collection is one of those horror films that really makes you sound like a deranged psychopath for recommending, but demands to be spread like a mind-controlling plague.
things quickly reach a level of silliness that fits more in a comedy or spoof than an actual horror film
The Collection is not going to win over gore film skeptics - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's an unapologetic celebration of splatter cinema.
The Collection never hits audiences in the stomach with any immediate sense of danger, and the dialogue and most of the performances feel entirely too campy for the movie to actually be taken seriously. Maybe that is the point, but I don't think so.
The Collection is brainless, inconsistent, and full of holes. It does offer a ton of gore, but there is absolutely nothing else to enjoy here other than that.

- Lucello: No.
-
- Lucello: He's agreed to take us to the girl.
- Elena's Father: And the police?
- Lucello: They had their chance. What this man deserves is beyond the law.
-
- Arkin: What makes you think you'll find him when the cops can't?
- Lucello: Because I'm willing to do the things they won't.
-
- The Collector: Are you going to kill me?
- Arkin: No. That'd be too nice.
