Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

Fans of Lovecraft will feel right at home. An amazing Tim Blake Nelson and a wonderfully written, charmingly old-fashioned story without a moment's hesitation. (28.10.2022)

A claustrophobic experience with irresistibly black-humour moments that actually make the whole thing even more realistic. As in Cube, Natali's direction revels in the facial shots, especially the bulging eyes, and whether you know the original story or not, you won't mind knowing what's going on. It’s just fun. And that ending! (06.11.2022)

With F. Murray Abraham in the lead role, even sci-fi trash (in the best sense of the word) has almost Shakespearean parameters. (06.11.2022)

A very disturbing metaphor of contemporary society (it would be hard to find a more horrific setting than this women's group, to be sure), shot with Juraj Herz-like cinematography and played to perfection by Kate Miccuci – her final look into the camera made me really want to applaud her.

I didn't expect that a story based on Lovecraft (which also stars Crispin Glover) would be such a mess. The screenwriter's attempt to extend the straightforward story failed, the added stuff is more awkward and boring than thrilling. There are a few great scenes, but what can I say, the weakest piece of Del Toro's cabinet so far. The first story that played on Lovecraft was much more Lovecraft than this one. (12.11.2022)
