Recensie (4)
The first story driven by a likeable character (played by the charismatic F. Murray Abraham), and the first downright satisfying episode that beautifully manages to capture the atmosphere of 1950s literary sci-fi/horror stories. Also, after The Autopsy of Jane Doe, another excellent procedural horror film from the autopsy room, and that doesn't happen until the second half. I must follow David Prior in the future.

This is where Cabinet of Curiosities truly shines again. "The Autopsy" is an outstanding episode, maintaining the high quality of the previous two while offering something a bit different. The story unfolds on an autopsy table, with a doctor examining bodies from a mine explosion. The nocturnal atmosphere is so intense that you could hear a pin drop at your dinner table, even through two thick walls. F. Murray Abraham is brilliant, carrying the episode on his shoulders. The ending is quite intense, with a practical rather than shocking twist.

With F. Murray Abraham in the lead role, even sci-fi trash (in the best sense of the word) has almost Shakespearean parameters.

The absolute king among all episodes. An episode where the atmosphere is so thick you could cut it with a knife. It's perfectly directed and brilliantly handled in terms of the script. An episode that shocks you a few times. An excellent piece that I'll definitely revisit. David Prior and David S. Goyer truly shone! Luxurious. For me, it's a 9/10. P.S. And those practical effects? Guillermo del Toro is the best :).
