The Collection Reviews
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Much splattery nonsense ensues -- some of it rather unpleasantly sadistic, and none of it particularly clever.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Most of the rampant gore effects are too sloppy to be interesting...

Austin Chronicle
An exercise in pure sadism, The Collection moves at a clip that leaps over plot holes in its race to elicit fright. No weighty psychology or physical logic freights this enterprise.

Not scary but rather is just a disgusting exercise in gore, dismemberment and bloodletting.

Boston Phoenix
Just buckets of the same old boring gore.

Comes off as a disappointment, failing to live up to its sequel potential by advancing the conflict and expanding murderous appetites in an exciting, imaginative manner.

The Collection is one of those horror films that really makes you sound like a deranged psychopath for recommending, but demands to be spread like a mind-controlling plague.

things quickly reach a level of silliness that fits more in a comedy or spoof than an actual horror film

The Collection is not going to win over gore film skeptics - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's an unapologetic celebration of splatter cinema.

Austin American-Statesman
The Collection never hits audiences in the stomach with any immediate sense of danger, and the dialogue and most of the performances feel entirely too campy for the movie to actually be taken seriously. Maybe that is the point, but I don't think so.

People in Hollywood need to work and surely "The Collection" created a lot of jobs, but there must be a better way.

Dull and repetitive, even by the standards of an already repetitive genre.

The Collection is brainless, inconsistent, and full of holes. It does offer a ton of gore, but there is absolutely nothing else to enjoy here other than that.

While I'm not entirely sure that it makes much sense, I had a great time with its ultraviolent concoction of b-movie frippery.

Not for the squeamish and is definitely for those that can handle a lot of sick and twisted violence. Recommended for true torture porn fans.

A rare sequel that ably tops the original in just about every department.

Dunstan mistakes unpleasantness for fear, reveling in gore for its own sake and destroying any anticipation or suspense in the bargain.

Melton and Dunstan have created little more than a hollow shell for an empty box.

There's a bad movie every week, but it takes a special one to make you start anticipating the decline of Western civilization.
