New year, new Cthulyou!
The boys at The Cast of Cthulhu ring in 2023 by tackling "Pickman's Model," the first of two Lovecraft adaptations featured in the Netflix-exclusive horror anthology, Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. One of the longest entries of the anthology, "Pickman's Model" feels like a TV episode trying to be a feature film, but without enough time to commit to any one thread, falls desperately short at establishing meaningful stakes or believable character motivations. It's disappointing that for an adaptation featuring a witch's feast and people carving their eyes out of their own heads, the scariest thing may be Crispin Glover's alleged Boston accent.
