"The Viewing" is by far the worst episode of "the Cabinet Of Curiosities" anthology.
First it suffers from anachronism. It is meant to be set in 1979 but the music playing in the car or in the house are pure 80s. Acting is a bit subpar and the late 70s setting doesn't bring anything apart from some orange lighting, a bad Afro wig and the asian sister of Vera from Scooby-Doo. Not much happens for half of the episode until you get to the spooky monster part. The creature has a decent design at least.
But some of the horror scenes are very unoriginal copying Raider Of The Lost Arch and The Blob.
Truly disappointing.
