The Collector (1965)


A horror directed by William Wyler.
A man abducts a woman and imprisons her in his large house in the country. His purpose is to develop a relationship with her, but he is too busy playing prison warden to do so.
The production value was TERRIBLE! Fortunately, that was the only bad thing. The small number of characters worked to the film's advantage and the plot kept me interested. The style was a little standard, but not bad. The part that made this stand out from normal '60s films was the ending. It was a little dark for that time period. I'm rating this adequate.

The Collector (2009)


A horror directed by Marcus Dunstan.
A burglar is trying to steal from a safe in a house when he hears someone else come in. The other person who enters mutilates the family who own the house.
This is new crappy horror and not worth my time or yours, for that matter. Most of the screen is black most of the time and blood could be called a main character, because everyone else is just extras. I have trouble seeing how Bauhaus' song, "Bella Lugosi's Dead" fits in the sex scene, but there it is! It feels good to declare shite on a dook movie like this.
