If you make a film about paintings so freaky they make you tear your eyes out, they’d better be damn freaky paintings or you should just not show us the paintings.

Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I've seen Ben Barnes play an old timey man haunted by a horrifying painting, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right?

Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities-Episode 5
Sadly the weakest episode of the anthology so far. Like others, it shines in its aesthetic and does a great job invoking that Lovecraftian atmosphere, but its plodding plot makes it a drag to get through. For some of these, it feels like the directors forgot they only have an hour- a lot of exposition but with minimal payoff.

Liked this mostly for the excellent creature work. They looked wonderfully nightmarish. Plus, how do you not love Crispin Glover doing a weird accent? Not much to sink into beyond that, but I think the production values on this make it worth checking out especially if you’ve been enjoying the rest of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
