Cabinet of Curiosities: The Outside (2022): Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a horror
series: "Cabinet of Curiosities, The Outside"! Spoilers ahead; watch out and take care!
The story begins with the narrator mentioning late-night TV, as an electronic cabinet of
curiosities blurring the line between what is inside our head and what is
outside. He states that perfection is just a toll-free number away, and takes out a
remote control after that. He states that this remote is almost like a magic wand,
controlling us every single day. Then, he mentions today's story, which is called The Outside.
We begin with a wide shot of a seemingly friendly neighborhood during Christmas time. We slowly move
into a house where a taxidermist named Stacey, is dancing and waiting for her food to get heated.
She eats her meal while watching TV, and keeps shifting the channels between advertisements,
tarot card readers, and other such programs. Suddenly, Stacey hears a sound coming from the
basement; so she takes her axe, and checks it out, suspecting it must be some kind of hormone
hunter. A tense sequence follows as Stacey looks around, and she even asks her fox mannequin if
it's seen anyone here. Without a foxy answer, she continues her search, and dramatically enters the
bathroom as well. Stacey doesn't find anyone there, but gets panicked; so she calls her
mustached cop husband for help. Cop husband doesn't really care about Stacey's problem,
because he knows that she keeps doing this all the time, and possibly imagining herself being
harassed by some muscular and good-looking man. He tells her they're just living in an old house,
so she is bound to hear some noises. The next day, Stacey overhears her co-worker,
Blonde, sharing with others about a girl who has fake implants. Stacey's attention shifts
to Blonde's hands that are applying god lotion all over her body, to make her look pretty gorgeous.
This makes her envious, because she also wants to be desirable, just like Blonde and her blonde
body. Later, Stacey is given an invitation to Blonde's Secret Santa party, and she gets excited
about it. Later, she goes hunting and shoots down a duck; after which, she performs taxidermy on it,
so that she can turn it into a present for Blonde. Cop husband enters the house, and Stacey tells
him she's gotten invited to Blonde's secret Santa party. Cop husband is confused, because he thinks
that Stacey hates women like Blonde; but she says that she really wants to explore Blonde's house.
Cop husband asks Stacey if she wants to eat some chicken wings and watch a Daniel CC movie, but
she wants to finish her duck present first. It's time for the party, so Stacey makes her way
to Blonde's home, and overcomes her aggressive dog. Now, we see one of Blonde's friends talking
about getting some hormone therapy from those muscular men. She adds that she's
happy to be divorced, because she can finally be away from her ex-husband's small and smelly
sausage. All the women cheer her on, and then blonde talks about how her husband's sausage
is like a wet spaghetti noodle. Now, the women talk about fillers;
so Blonde says that everyone should try out her plastic surgeon for face lifts: something that
Stacey can't relate to. It's time to share presents, but it's not a Secret Santa theme,
like Stacey had expected. Blonde gives everyone some expensive makeup kits, that include the
lotion she was applying earlier. Stacey also gives Blonde her duck gift; but Blonde and her friends
are disgusted to see it, and start whispering to each other, making Stacey anxious. The women
change the subject, and apply seemingly the indian god lotion on their hands, so Stacey does the
same out of peer pressure. A hilarious sequence follows, where all the psycho women ridiculously
use the lotion all over their bodies. However, the psycho women point out that Stacey's face
has become red. Realizing that she is allergic to the lotion, Stacey takes an ice pack from Blonde,
and leaves the party in frustration. Cop husband tells Stacey that she shouldn't
go after such lotions; but she says that she has a stupid, ugly face, and she wants to be sexy,
possibly to attract a hormone hunter. Cop husband tries to cheer her up using his mustache, but it's
of no use. Later at night, Stacey is unable to sleep, so she looks at herself in the mirror. The
make-up tube suddenly opens up, and the lotion starts flowing out of it, while Stacey watches
an ad about the same lotion. Things get creepy when the TV presenter, a muscle-shining man named
Shiny, starts talking to Stacey, and asks her to put the lotion on her face. His female assistant
talks about some horrible side effects, such as lack of ambition and loss of individuality;
so Stacey starts laughing at the TV. Regardless, Shiny urges Stacey to use the lotion that's just
lying around on her table; but she says that her face is itching because of it. Shiny reasons that
Stacey's skin is itching because it's healing, and he even says that her current state is not someone
anybody would like to be around. Shiny manages to convince Stacey to order more lotion; and then she
picks up the tube on her desk to apply some on her face. Stacey's delivery arrives in no time,
and she takes the box to her basement, so that her Husband doesn't see it. The next morning,
Stacey sits down to watch cartoons, but her Husband notices that her face is looking worse. He
tries to explain to her not to use the god lotion; but Stacey has lost all reason, so she asks him to
be supportive of her change. Cop Husband leaves the house, so Stacey continues with her lotion
routine, and binge-watches daniel CC movies all day, all night. This only makes things worse for
her, and she continues to scratch her body, even while sleeping like a pig. Cop husband tells her
not to do this because it's harmful; but Stacey repeats what Shiny told her earlier about the
lotion working if her skin is itching. Cop Husband tells Stacey to wear oven mitts while sleeping, so
she goes to collect them downstairs. However, the TV switches on by itself, and Shiny appears.
He taunts Stacey for not trusting him and the lotion, so he goes away and turns off the TV.
Stacey begs him to come back, so he shows his shining muscles again, and tricks her
into doing as he says. Shiny mentions there's a new version of Stacey growing under her skin,
so she becomes hopeful. He simply tells her to use more lotion; so she rushes to the basement to
blindly follow his instructions. However, all the tubes in the box open up and leak in front of her;
so she runs back to her room, and cuddles with her shitty Husband. Stacey asks him to stay at
home with her the next day, but Cop Husband says he can't stop his cop duties. Meanwhile, the
lotion starts to flow out of the box, and forms into a lump of smelly goo. The next day, Stacey
takes a look at her ugly face, and starts to feel something odd as her skin starts to shed like a
mermaid. Later, Cop husband comes back home, and asks her if she wants something to eat. However,
she is too busy peeling off her skin, thinking that she's going to look beautiful now. Cop
husband watches TV with his mustache, and invites Stacey downstairs to do some smelly exercise;
so she finally shows herself. Seeing her infected body worries Cop Husband, so he asks Stacey to go
to the doctor. However, she calls him out for not being a supportive husband, and says that
she doesn't have an allergic reaction. Cop Husband offers Stacey a pig in a blanket to calm her down,
and then he tells her there's nothing wrong with the way she looks. This doesn't work on Stacey,
and she angrily goes downstairs to get more lotion, because she wants to tear off her
skin. there, she finds a mysterious figure that has formed from the god lotion in the box. The
lotion god mimics Stacey's movements in a creepy fashion, and she is amazed to see this unfold in
front of her. The two bodies hold hands and share a kiss without using their tongues; after which,
they hug each other, implying that the two might have merged into one. Stacey now takes a knife,
and goes to her husband, with lotion all over her body. He panics, and tries to remind her
of who she really is. Despite Cop Husband's best efforts, Stacey tells him that he doesn't
understand what's wrong with her. She adds that her transformation is almost complete; but Cop
Husband loses his mind, but not lose his mustache; so he tells her to stop this bullshit.
This triggers Stacey to stab him in the face, but spare his smelly mustache, and it makes
Cop Husband delusional. He begins to panic as he takes out the knife, and starts to bleed. Now,
Cop Husband tries to radio for support, but Stacey kills him from behind, by slashing
him with her axe. Now that she has become a complete psycho, Stacey goes to the lotion god,
which fills up her bathtub. Stacey dips her naked body into the tub of lotion, and starts to feel
her body tingling with pleasure. Later, she walks out of the tub with lotion all over her body,
and it starts to shed away her bad skin. Excited and satisfied, Stacey goes to her Husband to
show off her new glow, but remembers that she's killed him, so she performs a taxidermy on him
as well. With a new outfit and a renewed sense of confidence, Stacey goes to work, and catches the
attention of Blonde and her friends. They all flock to Stacey like sheep, and compliment her
beauty, which makes her ego reach a new high. Now, Stacey turns into a gossip girl just like Blonde,
and the women start laughing like crazy weirdos. Stacey feels enlightened to finally be beautiful,
but contemplates what she's done to reach this status. The movie ends with her making weird
faces at us, hinting that she is still not satisfied with what she has.
