Finally, the weak defeated the murderous madman

Finally, the weak defeated the murderous madman. Think about "Fatal Turn", "An Eye Behind the Mountain", and "Saw Cry" to know how rare and unexpected this kind of ending is in this type of movie. In the film, the soundtrack of the section where the woman breaks the specimen container to let the formalin solution put out the fire is very exciting, even if this approach may be questionable.
In the end, Akin captures the devil alive, but we haven't seen him clearly since the first movie. If there is a next step, will Ah Jin become the second generation of "collector"?

The Collection quotes

  • [first lines]

    Mr. Peters: Elena. I know this must seem like the darkest day of your life. I know you miss your mother. And even though she's not here right now, she'll always love you. You understand that, don't you, darling?

    Young Elena: Yes, Daddy.

    Mr. Peters: But I'm going to be around more. I will always be here.

    Young Elena: Promise?

    Mr. Peters: I promise.

  • [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!
