Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight (2022)

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (originally promoted as Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight) — 2022 Genres: Horror, Mystery Overview: A lavish, unsettling horror anthology curated and partly created by Guillermo del Toro. Across eight self-contained episodes, the series delivers a kaleidoscope of fear — from gothic fairy-tale dread and macabre mystery to grotesque body horror and quietly creeping psychological terror. Two of the stories are original works by del Toro himself, while the rest are directed and written by a roster of acclaimed filmmakers and populated by a strong ensemble cast (including F. Murray Abraham, Ben Barnes, Essie Davis, Crispin Glover, Tim Blake Nelson and others). What you’ll experience: - Distinct, movie-quality short stories: each episode is its own mood, style and twist, so the tone can shift dramatically from one installment to the next. - Lush, tactile visuals and practical-creature/design effects that create haunting, unforgettable images — equal parts beautiful and grotesque. - Varying types of horror: gothic atmosphere, supernatural dread, moral unease, shocking gore, and darkly ironic or tragic finales. - Strong performances and cinematic filmmaking: unusual camera work, period detail, and literary sensibilities give many episodes the feel of mini-movies rather than TV filler. - Emotional teeth alongside spectacle: several stories pair shocks with themes of loss, obsession, regret and human frailty, leaving you thinking after the scares fade. Who it’s for and cautions: Fans of atmospheric, artful horror and anthology storytelling will find much to love. Expect mature, often disturbing content — graphic violence, body horror, and intense imagery — so viewer discretion is advised. In short: an imaginative, varied collection of sinister miniature films that showcases del Toro’s taste for the monstrous and the beautiful, delivering both jump scares and lingering, uncanny chills.
