Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities 2022

A collection of spooky stories told under the guidance of the Oscar-winning dark fantasy master

Our Take (by Emil Hofileña)

This eight-part horror anthology is curated by the titular director, renowned as a trusted authority in telling tales of the Gothic and in creating wondrous practical creatures. So just like his work for films like Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, and Hellboy, Cabinet of Curiosities is also filled with frightful beings ranging from reanimated corpses to bloodthirsty aliens—and should make for a staple Halloween binge. Aside from a star-studded cast, the series is also co-helmed by some noteworthy directors, including Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), and Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night).

Notable Critics

"In his new eight-part Netflix production, del Toro acts as a benevolent landlord of the horror genre, carving out space for others in the crowded pop-culture terrain."

— Adam Nayman

"A treat for fans of standout horror filmmaking."

— Nick Allen
