An atmospheric treat, where the script this time plays second fiddle; just one room, an amazing ambient soundtrack, some magic with camera filters and the impressive directing skills of a hirsute Italian wizard. The work with optics, all the details and the taking of the actors, that's textbook filmmaking. Plain and simple, Panos Cosmatos is a master of his craft (Mandy, oh Mandy!) who has his own signature, his own distinctive creative identity and I'm eagerly awaiting Nekrokosm. Oh, and Peter Weller is utterly brilliant as the extravagant billionaire.

An audiovisual genre feast. If you know what to expect from the director of Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow, that's exactly what you'll get! Panos is simply awesome and I can't wait to see what he does next. A superbly cast, cinematographed, musically performed and overall hypnotically led episode, in short, the essence of what I would imagine to be the highlight of the entire anthology.

What an exclusive slice of madness. After Mandy and this story, Panos Cosmatos has convinced me that he's a madman — but a stylish one. His contribution to Cabinet of Curiosities is set in the dark 80s, featuring darkwave music, dark yet pastel-colored filters, and a psychedelic trip filled with grotesque elements straight out of a John Carpenter film. This is the first episode in the series where I genuinely didn't know how to rate it by the end. However, I can't deny that it captivated me.
