Trivia
The "Hotel Argento" where the Collector has his victims is a nod to the cult Italian horror director Dario Argento.

Goofs
At 1:01:05 Arkin lets Paz break his arm, then when he fights the collector starting at 1:05, he uses both arms to grab, punch and throw the collector.

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!

Crazy credits
End Credits show how the lead characters died/survived, while displaying their names respectively

Alternate versions
Two versions were released in Germany. An uncut SPIO/JK rated version and a censored FSK-18 rated version. The latter which is cut by two minutes and 37 seconds to remove most of the gruesome bits of violence.

I assume you have seen the first movie (called The Collector), by the same director. While it seems he only directs this series, he also has credits as writer (for the Feast and the Piranha 3DD and other "funny" horror movies). Now this has some funny moments too, it does look good (on Blu Ray), but it also almost plays more like an action movie than a straight horror movie.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. You just need to be aware of it. There still will be blood and you will get some crazy traps (which might remind you of things that could also have been in Saw). The movie itself as a sequel reminds me more of the direct sequel to "Laid to Rest". That was more action orientated as well. But I'm not trying to put it into a box ... ;o)

Seriously though: Good enough acting, the obvious plot holes and a nice ending. I also suggest you watch the "alternate scenes" on the disc! There is an extended ending there, plus a different "fate" for one of the "crew". You see when you watch the movie.
