Our take

An exquisite cult film starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Egger, William Wyler’s elegant style meets its match in this wicked two-character psychodrama. Pushing at the limits of a crumbling American Production Code, The Collector offers a horrifying, visceral portrayal of abduction and captivity.
