The Collection

After escaping the clutches of a mysterious psycho killer known as the Collector (Randall Archer), Arkin (Josh Stewart), a known criminal and badass is forced to re-enter the killer’s den with a band of mercenaries in search of the Collector’s latest prize, Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick) the daughter of a rich so and so. In the booby trapped hideout are horrors of the flesh unparalleled and grotesque to the point of almost…comedy? Save the girl, survive the house, and dispatch the killer, seems legit? Completely implausible torture porn appears to be the name of the game here, combining 1 part SAW, 1 part Madame Tussauds, 1 part Halloween, and 1 part Seven. So that is to say, we’re not really seeing anything horribly new here, but there does appear to be a loosely stitched together creative vision based on previous visions. Acting, I’m not sensing anything amazing here, makeup and FX get a nod, but sadly I’m just not sure I can back this horse. As Vonnegut says…”So it goes” The Collection is rated R.
