The Collector 2024EXPIRED

The gripping tale of ‘The Collector’ explores the point that you can’t force love. What happens when Frederick, a twisted collector, wins the lottery and can have everything he’s ever desired? Unluckily for Miranda, she’s about to find out. A disturbing thriller that delves into the inner psyche of a psychopath, trauma & power.
