I finally caught up with The Viewing episode of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities anthology series. Cosmatos and writer Aaron Stewart-Ahn are obsessed with a liminal late 70s / early 80s world of deserted roads and eternal night. There’s always an Argento-red evil in the offing. There’s always a compound of loonballs at the edge of town.
This time the head loon is Peter Weller, who invites a group of strangers into his “in harmony with nature” estate. The interiors are more 8-track and Cray than regenerative.
To say more would be to spoil.
