Short description
Arkin escapes with his life from the vicious grips of "The Collector" during an entrapment party where he adds beautiful Elena to his "Collection." Instead of recovering from the trauma, Arkin is suddenly abducted from the hospital by mercenaries hired by Elena's wealthy father. Arkin is blackmailed to team up with the mercenaries and track down The Collector's booby trapped warehouse and save Elena.
What's left behind the scenes
- Regarding devising the complex mechanisms that the Collector uses to maim his victims, the filmmakers drew on their experience from the "Saw" franchise.
- The film's prequel, the horror movie "The Collector" (2009), is rooted in a gentler period of cinematic history. Specifically, in 1967, Terence Young directed "Wait Until Dark" (1967) starring Alan Arkin and Audrey Hepburn. The groundbreaking tension of that thriller had a strong influence. Hepburn played a blind woman terrorized by three thugs searching for a heroin-filled doll they believed was in her apartment. Out of respect for "Wait Until Dark" (1967), the screenwriters even named the main character Arkin, after Alan Arkin, and gave the character Elena hearing impairments.
- Most of the outdoor scenes were filmed in Atlanta, which is also where the fictional “Argento Hotel” (named after the legendary horror film director) is located – a former boarding school that served as the Collector's lair. Most of the indoor scenes, including the hospital scenes, were filmed at “CBS Studio Center” in Los Angeles. Dunstan noted that thanks to executive producer Tom Luse (known for the film “Jeepers Creepers” (2001)), the film’s budget was spent with maximum efficiency.
