I am convinced that we will be watching Saw/movies reminiscient of Saw until death. In addition to being completely unnecessary and repetitive, they also manage to be quite terrible. The Collection stands strong in its' awful quality, not even reaching one solid moment from beginning to end.
The main victim in The Collection is Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick) a rich girl who is kidnapped after a night of watching everyone at the party she's attending get ripped to pieces (the scene's highlight, if there is one). Elena's father hires people to help find her, including the only survivor of the original. They follow Elena along the hotel, falling into all of the collector's traps. And that's about it in terms of plot.
The Collection appears to have been created on a budget of $5 excluding what had to have been distributed to the cast. The special effects are extremely cheap and transparent. They're obnoxious and in your face, plus the ridiculous music video styled direction doesn't help. Half of the time you can't even tell what the fuck is going on.
All hopes of getting a coherent story all go to Hell also. There's absolutely nothing going on here but tedious killings. Half of these characters don't even get a name or a plausible reason for existing before being hacked up by the collector or his toys. It's a shame that a movie featuring such a crafty and intelligent antagonist can feel like such a dumb journey into movie Hell.
