Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix is off to a good start. Lot 36, you find some interesting things when you buy the contents of abandoned lock-up s, what looks liike a good find may have drawbacks though, Shades of The Strain fuse with Lovecraftian tropes as arcane occult books come into play.. Directed by Guillermo Navarro based on a short story by del Toro. "Graveyard Rats", not just rats, grave robbers. Grifters, giant rats, the living dead, with a streak of black humour but still quite shocking. Directed by Vincenzo Natali from a short story by Henry Kuttner. Both 8/10.
"The Autopsy": What an autopsy! A tale of shape-shifters, mind control and an explosion in a mine. Gruesome in parts, but it's the aura of uncertainty and fear which will also hold your attention. Really good SF/Horror. Directed by David Prior, Teleplay by : David S. Goyer. Based on the short story by : Michael Shea. 9/10.
Two good HP Lovecraft adaptations: "Pickman's Model" directed by Keith Thomas and "Dreams in the Witch House"Directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Both 6/10.
