Plot of The Collection (II) (2012)
The film opens with a series of television broadcasts which make clear that the Collector has become a frequent serial killer and the focus of a massive police manhunt. As in the first film, the Collector kills all victims but one, which he kidnaps. Arkin (Josh Stewart), returning from the first film, is the most recent known victim. Elena Peters (Emma Fitzpatrick) is taken by her friends to a secret party at an undisclosed location. After leaving the crowded dance floor and entering an isolated room, she finds a red trunk and opens it to find a severely injured Arkin. The Collector kills everyone present at the party except for Elena. As the Collector grabs her, Arkin jumps out a high window and escapes, breaking his arm in the process.
At the hospital, Arkin is arrested by police and put under constant surveillance due to a known criminal record. He is approached by Lucello, the right hand man of Elena's wealthy father (Christopher McDonald). Lucello has hired a team of mercenaries to hunt down the Collector and save Elena before she's killed. Lucello implies that if Arkin leads them to the Collector's hideout that he'll save Arkin from his criminal record. Having made a record of the turns the Collector's truck took after kidnapping Arkin the first time, Arkin is able to lead them to the Collector's base, an abandoned hotel in a desolate part of town. Lucello double-crosses Arkin and forces him at gunpoint to guide him through the hotel. At the same time, Elena is able to escape from the Collector while he is distracted by the team of mercenaries entering the hotel.
Upon entering the hotel, the team is attacked by people who the Collector had captured and driven insane, forcing the team to shoot them. Arkin takes the opportunity to escape from Lucello. At this point, the movie jumps among 3 groups: Elena trying to find an exit, Arkin trying to escape, and the mercenary team led by Lucello trying to find Elena. While wandering the hotel, the viewer sees various horrors of the Collector, such as live humans being experimented on and human body parts assembled in artistic ways. Arkin narrowly escapes the Collector several times but is unable to find an exit. Members of the mercenary team are killed or captured one by one by the Collector and his traps. Elena encounters a prisoner named Abby who claims to be the Collector's "favorite" and is reluctant to break his rules, but Elena and Abby are separated when the Collector finds them.
Eventually, Elena, Lucello, and Arkin reunite and rescue Paz from a trap, all other members of the team having been killed by this point. They find Abby, who asks to escape with them. The group finds a room with a small window that they cannot escape through but see two homeless men outside. With the men unable to hear their shouts, Arkin shoots one of them and then fires a second shot when police arrive, causing a SWAT team to surround the building. Abby betrays the group's location to the Collector but then dies to one of his traps. Enraged by this, the Collector attacks the group with a pair of dogs and kidnaps Elena. Lucello, pinned to the ground with a trap approaching, tells the group to save Elena. They find her strapped to an autopsy table but when they approach her they are trapped in a cage. The Collector then makes it apparent that he is going to burn the building down, but Arkin manages to open the cage by re-breaking his arm so that he can reach the latch, allowing the group to escape.
The group finds an exit door to the building, but it is jammed from the outside. The Collector kills Paz and easily beats Arkin in a fist-fight due to only having one functional arm. As the Collector is about to kill Arkin and Elena, Lucello appears, having survived the trap by using one of the dog corpses. He fights the Collector in a knife fight but loses; however, as a final act, he holds the Collector in place so that Arkin can stab him multiple times. Having injured the Collector, Arkin, now able to beat him, lights the Collector on fire.
As the building is burning down, the fire department hears Elena's screams and opens the door from the outside, allowing Elena and Arkin, the last survivors, to escape. However, Arkin finds the Collector's burned mask inside of Arkin's trunk but no corpse. Some time later, Arkin manages to track down the Collector's house by searching for every registered taxidermist nearby. He throws the Collector into his red trunk, saying he'll do to the Collector what the Collector had done to him before killing him. It is revealed that the Collector is the son of a man who killed all other members of his family, performed taxidermy on them, and ate Thanksgiving dinner with the corpses, supposedly explaining the trauma that led to the Collector.
