Critics Consensus

The Collection offers more grisly thrills and twisted humor than its predecessor; in other words, fun for genre fans, but unpleasant for anyone else.

Marjorie Baumgarten

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.

Rated: 1/5

Just a pointless exercise in sadism.

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

It is oddly generic right where the film most desperately need to be distinctive.

Rated: 3/10

The Wolfman Cometh

Fully honors what made the first film unique while also taking the terror to shocking new heights.

For all its foibles, The Collection is ultimately a slight improvement over its predecessor.

Where the Collector was Home Alone meets Saw, the Collection is Resident Evil meets Saw. Still some good kills but same old bad CGI.

This movie has been my favorite since I was smaller, I think this puts me in a position where most "horror" movies aren't even scary anymore, if I'm being true. they often disappoint me. This movie is so well made and they weren't afraid to show us everything they've got! they gave us death party, artificial zombies, demon dogs, traitors, fire, and even more. although, I would say that this movie is NOT for the weak minded, but I would love a remake of this movie or more types like this.

Pretty good. The brash, young American character, Billy, is obnoxious.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

While not being as fresh as the first, it still offers a lot with a good lead character, awesome traps, brutal gore effects and pretty satisfying ending.
