ADDITION: Indicator - Region FREE - Blu-ray (September 11'):   "The Collector" comes to us thanks to Indicator on a dual-layered Blu-ray. with a max'ed out bitrate. This Blu-ray is a premiere in the UK and is a 2k restoration with highly impressively HD visuals. The new 1.85:1 image has much warmer and realistic skin tones and greater detail. The contrast levels are incredible, with a wide gamut of blacks showing details in darker scenes. This image in-motion is a thing of beauty, looking as is the film is brand new. A solid notch beyond the Image Entertaiment 1080P transfer with more authentic and tighter colors.

The film is presented in its original mono audio. This is a 24-bit linear PCM 1.0 track and it sounds solid. The music is credited to the great Maurice Jarre (Behold a Pale Horse, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds, The Tin Drum, The Man Who Would Be King, The Damned etc.) and it supports the film with a beautiful and occasionally tense score. All good and a notch richer than the 2011 Image Entertainment 16-bit transfer. There are optional English (SDH) subtitles on this Region-Free Blu-ray.

First off there are 2 Guardian Interviews included here, with the option of listening to them as you watch the film. One is with William Wyler and the other with Terence Stamp. These are both loaded with interesting factoids and insider information. Next up is a 1-hour and 12-minute selected scene commentary with author and film historian Neil Sinyard. "Angel to Devil" is a 13-minute interview with actor Terence Stamp. "Nothing But Death" is a 15-minute interview with actress Samantha Eggar. "Richard Combs on 'The Collector'" is an 8-minute appreciation of the film by the renowned critic, lecturer and broadcaster. "The Look of Stardom" is a strange ad for the film, focusing on the actress Samantha Eggar. The creepiness of this narration is summed up beautifully by the narrator here, "...the face of the girl who stars in this bold and beautiful study in obsession will be on screen for more time, minute by minute, than any girl's face has ever been on screen before in one picture." Huh? I love it. "The Location Collector" is a neat 8-minute extra that shows where certain scenes were shot in the film. There are also some interesting trailers included here, and an image gallery of promotional photography and publicity material. This limited edition of 3000 copies also has an exclusive booklet with a new essay by Carmen Gray, an overview of contemporary critical responses, historic articles, and film credits.

This is just an incredible package from Indicator. William Wyler's creepfest "The Collector" gets a fantastic 2k Blu-ray restoration. The extras are insightful and plentiful. Indicator has really hit it out of the park with this release. Our highest recommendation!
