"The Collector" was an OK movie. The story idea was good but the execution was somewhat uneven. Terence Stamp's performance was at times wooden and calculated and at other times overly emoting. Samantha Eggar was good in her role. I thought the setting was confining, more suited for a stage production than a movie. They wasted the interesting cellar setting. I felt none of the dampness or closeness that would be typical of that space. In fact it seemed rather open and comfortable. Still the idea behind the movie is good and it would probably be worth redoing. I think a live play based on the story would be fun.
