Christmas may still be a long time away, however Halloween has actually come early this year! Netflix dropped its latest anthology series, Cabinet of Curiosities the other day. Spread throughout 8 episodes, the streaming platform will be launching 2 episodes every day resulting in Halloween, with the very first set being directed by Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro.
Right, so what is it about? As we pointed out previously, each episode is independent of another with story styles varying from macabre to wonderful. While Del Toro is just connected to direct the very first 2 episodes, reports do recommend that he’s greatly associated with the advancement of the remainder of the series.
That stated, both critics and audiences appear to be enjoying the program, with an existing score of 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Richard Roeper of The Chicago Times composes, “On balance, this is an appropriately grisly and horrible banquet for fans of the ominous and the supernatural.”
Meanwhile, Leila Latif of The Guardian composed: “While it is presumed that in any anthology series there will be hits and misses out on, absolutely nothing in this cabinet deserves disposing of.” Twitter up until now appears to have a comparable response, with one user writing, “was blown away by the very first 2 of episodes of Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. Exceptionally strong and gruesome scary anthology in the E.C. vein, boosted by terrific beast style work by Guy Davis and liberal quantities of humor and gore. A present to me specifically (sic).”
