Better than expected
I had low expectations for this one since it's a sequel to The Collector, a second rate torture porn flick featuring one of the dumbest heroes in the history of film. The sequel is more of a gory thriller and a huge improvement in every possible way--it's suspenseful and fun and features a heroine who is actually pretty smart and acts like it through most of the film. Of course the mercenaries hired by the heroine's rich father are complete idiots who walk into every single bobby trap that the villain sets--but their stupidity is offset by the plucky heroine who manages to escape from the trunk she is being kept in and wander through the maze of traps without actually getting killed. Even the house thief who survived the first film has grown a few brain cells since part one and manages to do a couple of clever things in an attempt to survive. This should appeal to Saw fans that don't need the moralizing and convoluted mythology but also to fans of gory 80's horror,
