This horror anthology was created, executive produced, and hosted by Guillermo del Toro. It was released in 2022, but I didn't see it until 2025.


tek's rating:

Lot 36 (46 minutes)
In 1991, a racist, misanthropic, and generally unpleasant man named Nick Appleton (Tim Blake Nelson) buys a storage lot at an auction, which had belonged to a man who recently died. He is in debt to the kind of person you don't want to be indebted to, and hopes that selling the items he finds in the lot will get him enough money to pay him off. And... I don't want to spoil any of the details of the plot, except to say that it ends with a truly horrifying demon being resurrected and chasing Nick. I thought the story was just sort of okay. I mean, the acting was fine, and the visuals were quite good, but I didn't like Nick at all, so I couldn't manage to care about his fate. And there wasn't much about the story that really grabbed me. But I could certainly understand others liking it more than I did.
