Masters of Horror: Haeckel's Tale (2006)
Season 1, Episode 12
8/10
Very atmospheric
25 August 2010
I've watched maybe five episodes so far and this is by far the best I've seen yet for one particular reason, the late 19th century set design and atmosphere. There are way too few movies which portray the gloomy side of this era, graveyards, fireplaces, darkness, it's all there. Perfect watch for a rainy autumn night. There is a bit of an studio like feel to some scenes, but it doesn't make it any less attractive.

I must say I wasn't too keen on the necrophilia part, but for what it's worth, it could've been a lot more disturbing. This is more of an old school "fun" horror. And even tho there is a bit of gore, it's not disturbing as it has been in some episodes.

Watch it for the atmosphere, not so much for the story.
