Prioritize:
Another H.P. Lovecraft adaptation in quick succession, but this time it is unfortunately the weakest and also the most "horror-ish" episode of the whole anthology. Bland, outdated, unimaginative. ()
Probably the dullest episode of Cabinet of Curiosities. The setting feels lackluster, despite the promising period and Lovecraft-inspired storyline. Rupert Grint does a solid job in the lead role, but somehow it all just doesn't come together and ends up being quite boring at times. ()
