From visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes this noir-style psychological thriller starring Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett that’s set against the dark backdrop of carnival life. When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts what seems to be a golden ticket to success. The more he uses his newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society, the more his ambition grows. Soon, with the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Blanchett), who might turn out to be his most formidable opponent yet. Also included in the all-star cast of NIGHTMARE ALLEY are Willem Dafoe, Ron Perlman and Mary Steenburgen. Master storyteller del Toro directed the taut thriller, which he co-wrote with Kim Morgan, based on the novel by William Lindsay Gresham.

Critics Consensus: While it may not hit quite as hard as the original, Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley is a modern noir thriller with a pleasantly pulpy spin.

Reviews

A Good Movie To Watch

Savina Petkova

In addition to its thrilling plot and studded cast, Nightmare Alley is also psychologically literate enough to make a carnival out of the human soul.

Nightmare Alley is something to behold... but it's the storytelling that lacks conviction.

Del Toro’s strongest thematically made film. With a twisted atmosphere that had me in awe at every turn. Incredibly made, slow first chapter but once it got going I was all in.

Few directors can match Guillermo del Toro‘s virtuosity. There’s a Kafkaesque yet sensual opulence to his dark sensibilities.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Tina Kakadelis

It’s disappointing to see a movie like this that’s interesting enough to keep viewers hanging on, hoping the next scene is going to turn it all around, but it never does. It’s a spook show–telling the audience lies and letting them believe there’s hope.
