‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ shows off Guillermo del Toro’s eclectic vision of horror

As a horror maestro and auteur, Guillermo del Toro has earned the right to his moment in the spotlight — in this case presiding on camera, Alfred Hitchcock style, over “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.” It’s only too bad that this eight-episode Netflix horror anthology lacks the verve of the director’s cinematic work, with episodes that feature monstrous special effects but half-baked stories that don’t really draw blood.
