Reviews (3)
A great idea and a compelling draw to the whole series, but it gets more and more predictable as the minutes go by and it kind of fizzles out into nothing in the rushed finale.

A wonderfully atmospheric start to Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring excellent cinematography. This subtly occult story follows a guy (played brilliantly by Tim Blake Nelson) who has no respect for history — his goal is to sell everything and move on. But his disregard becomes his downfall when he encounters an Ancient One straight out of a Lovecraft story in one of the storage units. And that's right up my alley.

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.
