#and i guess the director thought that wasn't scary enough so now he's a deranged cultist whose paintings turn you into a cannibal

it hurts me to say this but i am really not enjoying cabinet of curiosities as much as i hoped i would :-( sorry guillermo del toro. i still love your work but i can only look at so many cgi tentacle beasts before i get bored of them

#i think the one i was most disappointed in was pickman's model #the whole point of the original story was that there was nothing supernatural about the actual paintings themselves #the twist is everyone thinks pickman's a regular guy with a vivid imagination but it turns out he's just painting exactly what he sees #and i guess the director thought that wasn't scary enough so now he's a deranged cultist whose paintings turn you into a cannibal #rare case of a lovecraft adaptation being too over the top #be shh now
