Dark and twisted, Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but nonetheless, it is definitely one film that is worth watching. This 2021 neo-noir psychological thriller is based on William Lindsay Gresham’s 1946 novel of the same name and the second film adaptation of the book. When compared with del Toro’s other films, Nightmare Alley deserves special recognition due to many reasons. While del Toro has won many awards for his previous films like The Shape of Water and Pan’s Labyrinth, and is now being talked about greatly due to his most recent stop-motion animation, Pinocchio, one cannot simply forget the impact that Nightmare Alley has on its audience....
