    • Trivia
      The "Hotel Argento" where the Collector has his victims is a nod to the cult Italian horror director Dario Argento.
    • Goofs
      (at around 14 mins) When Arkin breaks through the window to escape The Collector at the club he lands on a parked car. The windows of the car blow out before he makes contact with the roof.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Arkin: All those insects, you're quite the collector. In a 200-mile radius from where we last saw each other, there are 14 licensed entomologists. And you were number 12. Your daddy ran a museum, didn't he? Fucked you up real good. Turn around.

      [Arkin presses a gun against the back of The Collector's head]

      Arkin: Turn around.

      [the Collector slowly turns around]

      The Collector: Are you here to kill me?

      Arkin: No. That'd be too nice. First I'm gonna make you feel everything that I felt. And then I'm gonna kill you. So that you can never hurt anyone...

      [the Collector attacks Arkin, but is overpowered and thrown into a trunk]

      Arkin: [slamming the trunk shut] Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!

    More of the same... But different
    So here is something new for me -- Watching a horror movie sequel, not knowing it's a sequel, and it being good enough that I want to see the original. Weird, huh? Don't get me wrong, it has it's faults. An incredible body count that would draw the attention of the CIA, FBI, and any local police much less the Criminal Minds-type teams. It's completely impossible to have that many dead bodies in building and it not just REEK of death to the point you can't go in. But... it's a horror movie. Just go with it.

    If you can just go with it, and you like really scary, psychological thrilling, torture-porn horror flicks like SAW, it's pretty good. It's certainly scary, quite unpredictable, and the acting is actually... not terrible. The plot is original. It's very gory. But it didn't come across as being all about the gore. It had you thinking, "What would I do if I was in that situation." Most of the time, my answer was - Sit down and cry.

    I compare it to the Saw franchise, because it was written by some of the guys who wrote some of those, and because of the sadistic puzzles the people had to go through. But it really isn't the same as Saw because the plot was different. I would say if you like the Saw movies, you'd really enjoy this. If you didn't, don't waste you time. It's wouldn't be your type of film.

    I gave it an 8 meaning it to be compared only to other horror movies, not to all movies in general. It certainly isn't for non-horror people. And it isn't a family film. Some of it was very hard to watch. I was proud of the fact that the ticket seller refused to sell a ticket to the 20-year-old in front of me trying to buy tickets for the 10 and 12 year olds she brought to this. It's not for kiddies at all.

    I'm going to get part 1 (The Collector) on Netflix, then hope part 3 (if there is one) is as good.
