THE COLLECTION [2012]

The second instalment (and probably not the last) of Marcus Dunstan's Collector series, titled The Collection goes for bigger and bolder.  Sadly that almost never makes it better.
It neuters the terrifyingly unsettling ending of the original and twists the story into something resembling Abbot & Costello meets Saw II with it's goofy house of endless passageways of tricks and traps.  The dialogue is atrociously bad, the camerawork is dull and the characters are flatter than Olive Oyl's chest.  I can't even believe it's made by the same folks who worked on the first film.
