About this Article

The ultra-violent "The Collection" is a series of stale, tried-and-true shock devices (how many times have we seen someone look into a peep hole, only to be startled when another eyeball suddenly stares back?) mixed with just enough twists (two characters turn out to be surprisingly smart and resourceful in their quests to stay alive) to keep from sliding into banal, rehashed horror trash.
