Guillermo Del Toro

It’s the end of the road. Throughout the previous seven episodes, we’ve dealt with evil paintings, witches, extraterrestrials, and lots of rats. What’s this final episode going to treat us with? The answer: birds. No,…

I have seen things that will make you shit your mind, Kemosabe. Imagine Peter Weller sitting at the head of a round table with long white hair, draped in a silk Japanese robe, snorting cocaine,…

Catherine Hardwicke wouldn’t be my first choice for directing an episode of an anthology horror show, especially considering the damage she wrought upon the vampire subgenre. Looking at her filmography, there’s nothing to indicate that…

We cannot let sympathy or altruism shield us from finding the truths of this world. Pickman’s Model is one of two H.P. Lovecraft adaptations coming this season on Cabinet of Curiosities, with Dreams in the…

True acceptance, harmony, peace, and divinity; all that stuff is a lie. We all just wanna be good-looking. We are first introduced to Stacey (Kate Micucci), awkwardly sway dancing to some generic jazz tune, wearing…

…This is one of those nightmare specials, the kind you never get to the bottom of. In this tertiary episode of Guillermo del Toro’s anthology show, we receive a terrifying answer to the age-old question:…

The second episode of Cabinet of Curiosities is a much sillier fare than its predecessor, and that’s not a bad thing. From its title, you can probably deduce the story’s main threats. Though naturally, the real…

Ah yes, God. Silent, strong type that loves to see us squirm with free will and other delusions. But what about his adversary, huh? What makes Guillermo del Toro such a fun director for me…

“People are desperate to tell you who they are.” This lesson is one of many imparted to Stan (Bradley Cooper) in the first act of Nightmare Alley — the story of a rise and fall…

This week Spider-Man: No Way Home smashed not just pandemic records but even opening weekend records held since long before COVID-19 surfaced. Yet success is not for all at the box office, while Spidey soars many…

Yes, the 2021 Oscars may have only happened three weeks ago, but we just can’t get enough! Between new Paul Thomas Anderson content, Guillermo del Toro and Chloé Zhao’s Best Picture follow-ups, and the return…

Spooky movie season is officially here. While Halloween might be a few months off, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is already spreading the spooky spirit. It’s a fresh cinematic take on a controversial children’s…

No, I haven’t seen Shazam! yet, the current superhero film that is both beloved by critics and audience members alike. Instead, I watched Hellboy, which if Rotten Tomatoes is to be believed, critics seem to…

Academy Award winner Guillermo del Toro has a special eye for horror/fairytale films, along with implementing drama involving love. For instance, both of his Hellboy films were love stories with comic book-isms attached. Guillermo does…

In July, Amazon revealed the first concrete information about it’s upcoming Prime Original The Lord of The Rings prequel. They announced the show runners to be Godzilla vs. Kong and Star Trek 4 writers JD Payne and Patrick…

The Hellboy franchise is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated superhero franchises out there. Both Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) are Gothic superhero masterpieces. Both revel in their Lovecraftian…

More Oscar hopefuls continue to expand out into theaters around the country, bringing weird, awkward, and different stories that are rarely (if ever) seen on screen.  Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water most identifies with…
