The story tells of a young woman named Elena who leaves her home one night to attend a special ceremony. That night may turn into a dark night when it becomes the last victim of a mentally ill murderer. After this happens, her rich father rents out a group of mercenaries to retrieve her from the grip of that mentally ill murderer.
The whole thing is a fairly yawn-a-rific affair until the vengeful prologue establishes a wicked role reversal, hinting at the better movie that filmmakers more interested in storytelling would have made.
If your diet requires you to ingest a certain amount of cinematic blood and mayhem every week, this will meet those needs, like a vitamin. Otherwise it's for collectors only.
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.
