Here's a new poster.

Nice cast tbh. Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette and Willem Dafoe. Those are some pretty heavy hitters. I pretty much watch anything for Toni so you can count me in giving this a peep. She was out of this world good in Hereditary.

Nightmare Alley sounds like that Hillbilly and Ned Beatty tbh.

Really enjoying this Story and that Music at the end of this Trailer very much Halloween inspired. It gave me chills.

Missed it at the cinema, first Del Toro movie I have since Blade II... I'm pissed.

I torrented it (with the full intent of buying the steelbook as soon as it comes out).
It's a solid movie, great cast, amazing aesthetics, very dark and bitter story, but it's just not as good as whar the director got us used to.

After releasing in theaters back in February, the black & white version of Guillermo del Toro‘s Oscar-nominated Nightmare Alley is now coming home to Hulu this month, we’ve learned.

Dubbed Nightmare Alley: A Vision in Darkness & Light, the black & white version of del Toro’s latest movie will be available for streaming on Hulu beginning April 25, 2022.

“Although we shot Nightmare Alley in color, we lit it as if it were black and white,” said del Toro. “You can see exactly the same level of design, and we wanted to give viewers this special vantage as a take of the classic noir genre that the film is part of.”

Director of Photography Dan Laustsen explained, “When we designed and shot, we were always thinking color and black and white. The classic lighting I have used is an homage to all the incredible masters of cinematography who have inspired me.”

Meagan wrote in her review for BD, “Nightmare Alley offers psychological thrills in a profoundly haunting and intricately woven rumination on society’s dark underbelly, on the pursuit of success and damnation that might lurk at the end.” Meagan goes on to write, “It’s not the filmmaker’s strongest effort, yet it’s still a soaring spectacle that casts a spell.”

Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen, and David Strathairn star in Nightmare Alley.
