Dir: Guillermo del Toro USA 2021 2hrs 30mins
With: Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett
Based on a classic Hollywood film-noir from 1947 Nightmare Alley is set amongst the shady characters in a travelling carnival and one very dubious man in particular who gradually learns the tricks of the mind-reading trade and is soon making big money in glitzy nightclubs. Then in one such establishment he meets a beautiful psychiatrist (Blanchett) who is as manipulative as he is and the two of them plot a dream that seriously turns into a very twisted nightmare. Another impressive statement from the master of fantastic cinema Guillermo del Toro.
"Rich, pulpy, pitch-black film noir done with exquisite craftsmanship and genuine love" Horror Buzz.com
