Nightmare Alley SPOILER FREE REVIEW | Movies Merica
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, feast your eyes on the wonderment and fantastical visions you'll see with this review of Nightmare Alley. Like the carnival in this movie, Van's review has all kinds of freaky things in it. Guillermo Del Toro brings his usual dark and ominous stylings to this noir mystery thriller set in the 30s and 40s. Listen on and behold the awesome spectacles of this podcast episode!
Stan (Bradley Cooper) burns down his home and takes a job as a carny with a traveling carnival. Stan is disturbed at how any man could sink to the level of performing as a geek. Clem (Willem Dafoe) explains that he seeks out alcoholic or drug-addicted men with troubled pasts, and lures them in with promises of a "temporary" job and opium-laced alcohol. He then uses their dependence until they sink into madness and depravity, thus creating a new geek. Stan also works with clairvoyant act "Madame Zeena" (Toni Collette) and her alcoholic husband, Pete (David Strathairn). He and Zeena warn Stan not to ever use these skills otherwise people get hurt. Meanwhile Stan becomes attracted to fellow performer Molly (Rooney Mara) and approaches her with an idea for a two-person act away from the carnival. Cate Blanchett, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen, and Tim Blake Nelson round out this amazing Guillermo Del Toro written and directed Crime Drama.
Hope to see y’all here every week!!
