Als der Kunststudent Will den introvertierten Einsiedler Richard kennenlernt, haben dessen Kunstwerke eine zutiefst schockierende Wirkung auf Wills Sinn für Realität. (Netflix)

Es hat einen langsameren Start, was bei einer Kurzgeschichte, die sich über mehrere Jahre erstreckt, verständlich ist, aber sobald die Dinge in Bewegung geraten, ist es eine klassisch Lovecraft-artige Fahrt. Und ich mochte sowohl die Besetzung von düsterem Glover als auch von Ben Barnes, bei dem Schnurrbart und graue Strähnen im Haar perfekt als Alters-Make-up funktionieren.

Another great reason to dive into Lovecraft's world. This episode starts with a fantastic period atmosphere set at the turn of the 20th century. As it progresses, it intensifies into an unsettling and eerie experience, culminating in a somewhat brutal and literal ending. A well-done episode with excellent performances by Ben Barnes and Crispin Glover.

The original Lovecraft story is a different cup of tea, but the master also works with the unseen and unimaginable, which is hard to visualize. I dare say, however, that this is a very good adaptation with a solid Barnes and a disturbing Glover. The plot digressions are quite compelling and the ending is classically scary. The most compelling thing about Lovecraft is that the unsaid is always more frightening than the visualization, and that’s why his adaptations can never get a full rating.

I didn't expect that a story based on Lovecraft (which also stars Crispin Glover) would be such a mess. The screenwriter's attempt to extend the straightforward story failed, the added stuff is more awkward and boring than thrilling. There are a few great scenes, but what can I say, the weakest piece of Del Toro's cabinet so far. The first story that played on Lovecraft was much more Lovecraft than this one.
