John Fowles's novel The Collector was written in the form of
a dual diary, one kept by a kidnapper, the other by his victim. The
film is told almost exclusively from the point of view of the
former, a nerdish British bank clerk named Freddy Clegg (Terence
Stamp). A neurotic recluse whose only pleasure is butterfly
collecting, Clegg wins $200,000 in the British Football Pool. He
purchases a huge country estate, fixes up its cellar with all the
comforts of home, then kidnaps Miranda (Samantha Eggar), an art
student whom he has worshipped from afar. The demented Clegg
doesn't want ransom, nor does he want to rape the girl: he simply
wants to collect her. She isn't keen on this, and tries several
times to escape. After several weeks, Clegg and Miranda grow
increasingly fond of one another, and Clegg promises to let her go.
When time comes for the actual release, however, Clegg decides that
Miranda hasn't completely come around to his way of thinking and
changes his mind, leading to a further series of unfortunate
events. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
