Review: ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ reinvigorates the horror anthology series

LONDON: Netflix’s “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” is, as you might surmise, a collection of horror stories from the acclaimed, Oscar-winning director. In the style of Alfred Hitchcock, or Rod Serling, del Toro introduces each of the eight episodes — but rather than serving as a simple nod to “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” or Serling’s “The Twilight Zone,” the mood-setting aperitif gives the series a common thread, guiding viewers back to the central premise at the outset of each self-contained story.
