    I don’t know what my favorite Terence Stamp performance is, but The Collector (1965) has to be at the top of the list. Both he and Samatha Eggar are incredible. Perfect horror film.

    Farewell to Samantha Eggar (1939-2025), whose breathtaking performance opposite Terence Stamp in William Wyler's THE COLLECTOR (1965) is a landmark. I often wonder how many women trapped in abusive relationships saw their lives reflected in this film, and found the strength to take action. #FilmSky

    In Jan 1984, The Smiths released the single, ‘What Difference Does It Make?’. The original version had a picture of Terence Stamp from the film ‘The Collector’. Stamp initially refused permission for the image and some copies had Morrissey recreating the picture. Stamp eventually gave permission.

    Keeping much of the action to that location, perhaps a legacy of the theatrical source material, could have been stagey, but acquires instead a claustrophobic power (and reminded me, looking ahead, to Wyler's adaptation of The Collector). Exceptional film! 5/5
