In 1965, Berdella saw the film adaptation of the John Fowles novel The Collector. The plot of the film revolves around a disturbed man who stalks and then abducts a young woman whom he finds attractive, holding her captive in his windowless stone basement, and viewing her as little more than an attractive specimen. After several weeks, the woman dies of a contracted illness despite her captor's efforts to keep her alive. Berdella later stated this movie had formed a lasting impression on him.

I actually watched this movie not too long ago after reading this excerpt. I have to say it was actually quite good, scarily realistic. It was also, ironically, far less grotesque then the crimes Berdella committed.
