Our first look inside Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities reveals a rather generic horror story. After the effective opening scene, we follow racist veteran Nick (Tim Blake Nelson) who, like in "Storage Wars", buys an abandoned storage unit at an auction. It was previously owned by a Nazi who was not averse to the occult. Nick needs money immediately because he is deeply in debt. The plot, which is set during the tenure of George Bush, doesn't pick up speed for a long time. Tim Blake Nelson is also too likeable for his role. The story only gets a bit scarier towards the end, only to end abruptly. The episode was adequate overall, but nothing more.
