Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities- Episode 2
Rats are such an excellent vehicle for horror and the way Natali confidentially capitalizes on them to not only exploit obvious musophobia, but also claustrophobia is genius. Was slightly thrown off by its inclusion of (something I won’t mention for spoilers sake), would have preferred more rats.
Campy, repulsive, and an excellent ending. More of this! More horror with rats!

I fun little flick that keeps it short and sweet. A claustrophobic chiller that’s may just give you the creepy crawlies. Fun time for what it is.

Graveyard Rats is a slight step up from the first instalment of del Toro's horror anthology. While it's a broadly comical affair, the piece managed to extract more spooky goodness from its brief runtime, and I greatly appreciated the design and execution of the film's monstrous giant rat. It's still nothing exceptionally entertaining, and is certainly not scary, but I am looking forward to seeing what other macabre delights the series has to offer.

Two things I NEVER want to experience in life: Get eaten alive by rats and being stuck underground with no way to get out

the story feels a little too similar to lot 36, which i really didn't like btw, so i wasn't as interested in this as i was hoping i would be. obviously it's not the exact same, but it feels like the same basic story, just told differently. i definitely liked the protagonist a lot more in this episode though. there's no competition when it comes to that. i really love the graveyard setting in films and this short made some great use of it. the claustrophobic sequences and that awesome giant rat also make this quite memorable. if it weren't for the actual story being so bland, i would rate it higher.

When digging inside a grave,
It helps to be really brave.
But some may wonder,
If six feet under,
Maybe don't follow that cave. -

That big rat freaked me the F OUT!!!
So episode 2 of Cabinet of Curiosities and this was better than the first one a little more creepy however I just feel like they take their time with the story and rush the ending and aren’t long enough by just maybe 15 more minutes. Guillermo del Toro Monsters are seriously the best thing and carry the series the most but it was still quite enjoyable I’m looking forward to watch the next episode.
