    A little suspensful and a little scary, It is a watchable movie. However, There is no depth what so ever. No real story, It was basically jumping from scene to scene with little to no explaination. Not to mention the short run time (about an hour and 15 mins). It had very little dialogue as well. If it were longer and had more of a back story to it then it would have been a much better movie. The traps were incredibly weak as well, No where near as scary as the first film. A very disapointing sequel no where near as good as the original. Far too much wasted potential imo.… Expand

    You know that wonderful spine tingling, edge of your seat feeling you had when watching The Ring, that's not going to happen here. In fact quite the opposite. I fidgeted through the movie. I know studios have a certain quota of films they feel like they have to make, but really? The story is just out there and dumb. If you want blood and guts go to a slaughterhouse, at least that is real. If you want to be scared, watch the evening news. If you want to get your date in the mood, try alcohol. This movie does seem to hit any of the marks. If you are young and want to watch a "messed up" movie, put A Clockwork Orange in your Netflix queue. Otherwise, paying for this movie only further enables the studio's to make more mindless garbage.… Expand

    Once again, another piece of crap spit out. I dont know how these guys get the funding to put out such garbage. The only cool scene is at the rave/dance when they all got mutilated (which also makes zero sense for the rest of the film). Nobody knows what a good horror/thriller is anymore, its all retarded scenarios. Dont waste your time on this trash.

    An exercise in pure sadism, The Collection moves at a clip that leaps over plot holes in its race to elicit fright.

    The Collection doesn't have much to recommend it beyond a first-reel bloodbath rivaling "Blade" and "Death Ship."

    The movie's a smorgasbord of horror, and, ironically, that takes the teeth out of it. We're not really in this villain's world, because we don't know what his world is, or what he is, or what he's trying to even do. It's like a nightmare designed by someone who's heard a lot about nightmares but has never actually had one.
