Cabinet of Curiosities is a horror anthology series from the mind of acclaimed Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro. With eight standalone episodes, the series draws inspiration from classics like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with each episode featuring a range of monsters, from demons and giant rats to creaky skeletons and zombies — each helping represent various themes such as greed, corruption, vanity, and loss. While the underlying themes overlap, each tale offers a wonderfully varied and distinct experience, ensuring that viewers' deepest fears are explored.

The anthology format allows for hits and misses, but Cabinet of Curiosities generally offers a solid range of horror. The series creates a gripping atmosphere, with moments of wit and horrifying scares that harken back to the appeal of classic scary TV. However, despite its ambitious premise, the show falls just shy of delivering a consistently nightmarish experience. The anthology format can result in uneven quality, and some episodes may not resonate as strongly as others.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can catch this anthology on Netflix.
