![]() ![]() How did the script of The Collector come to you and what was your first impression reading it? (Plus with Dunstan’s follow up film The Collection being a huge disappointment to me due to the character of The Collector being recast with an uninspired hulking stuntman, Fernández’s seemingly underappreciated original work is owed some serious Halloween highlighting here!) Confirming that his turn was far from a fluke and crafted with loving attention to dark detail, welcome to the thought process of the one and only The Collector himself… From his candid tales of how two sets of contact lenses that left him working blind informed the character’s other senses to his thoughts on everything from traps, his foe Arkin and even the significance of the red case The Collector stores his victims in, Fernández dug deep and got totally candid exclusively for in an effort to provide fans some until now unexplored detail into a famed film foe known for his mysterious maniacal nature. (At least in my movie opinion!) So to celebrate the upcoming dark holiday (and give boss Brian one pumpkin sized present!), I reached out to Juan (who also has an incredible array of other amazing films under his belt including Salvador, Arachnophobia and A Man Apart to name just a few!) for a little beyond the norm Collector character insight and the man behind the mask definitely did not disappoint. Playing a character that never speaks, is masked the entire film and yet thoroughly conveys his malicious intentions with simply eye and body movements, Fernández’s creepy Collector is a pitch-perfect performance that deserves high-praise recognition and a place right alongside some of the most iconic villains in movie history. They say that a movie is only as good as its bad guy and as the titular man of mayhem sleek actor Juan Fernández’s (born Juan de Jesus Fernández de Alarcon) The Collector is truly evil incarnate. But besides the earnest work by lead man Josh Stewart as relatable robber Arkin, there’s a singular tasty turn that truly gives the flick its damn fine film flavor. From the suspenseful staging to the eclectic array of brutal booby traps, The Collector is a true hidden horror gem that ups the ante on traditional thriller themes. The movie collector professional#I, much like Brian, am a massive admirer of the 2009 Marcus Dunstan helmed five-star original outing The Collector, a terrifying tale of two professional gents – one a master thief and the other a cunning killer – who find themselves trapped in a house together and both use their own ‘specific set of skills’ to fight and survive the night. For both the genre geeks and my own beloved boss and cool critic Brian White I’m presenting something truly special this year to celebrate the dark magic of All Hallows’ Eve. Welcome fright fans! Halloween is almost upon us and seemingly out of tricks it felt like time for a little tasty treat. ![]()
