Посмотрел, наконец, "Кабинет редкостей Гильермо дель Торо".
Вообще, мне нравится стиль монстров дель Торо. На мой взгляд, это такой Гигер, от которого не возникает рвотный рефлекс. Очень прикольные у него создания выходят, взять хотя бы обе части оригинального "Хеллбоя" (не ремейка) — можно что угодно говорить о сюжете, но в стиле этим фильмам не откажешь.
Так что антологию под продюсерством дель Торо не хотелось пропустить, хотя я совсем не фанат жанра ужастиков. Но на деле ушёл скорее разочарованный.
Да, стильно, и дизайны прикольные. Но в основном истории лишены смысла, нет никакой изюминки или морали, в отличие от того, как это было, например, в The Outer Limits. Сюжет развивается по схеме: "Герои сталкиваются с неведомой фигнёй, пугаются, возможно умирают", всё. Даже адаптированный рассказ Говарда Лавкрафта "Модель для Пикмана" в итоге испортили — сам по себе рассказ интереснее и загадочнее, развязка более неожиданная. Авторы же экранизации ушли куда-то в сторону и не смогли вовремя остановиться.
Тем не менее, если вы хотите совсем пропустить, то рекомендую вам посмотреть третий эпизод "Вскрытие". Вот он супер крутой, с классной идеей и интересной развязкой.
