The Collector (2009)
I.M.D.B.
Desperate to repay his debt to his ex-wife, an ex-con plots a heist at his new employer's country home, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.
I really enjoyed this one. Good suspense to the tense moments throughout, with a cat-and-mouse feel between antagonist and protagonist, the former being an intriguing and formidable presence, and the latter making smart choices. Very well made, visceral, smart - highly recommended.
9/10
The Collection (2012)
I.M.D.B.
A man who escapes from the vicious grips of the serial killer known as "The Collector" is blackmailed to rescue an innocent girl from the killer's booby-trapped warehouse.
Bloodier, higher body count, more action - it hits the traditional marks of a sequel. It gives more information into the killer and his collection - all of which are suitably interesting. I missed the suspense of the first movie, and the run-time was a little short. It could have done with another 10 or 20 mins spent weaving suspense into the story. A good addition to the first movie though, and a great ending. Recommended.
