Nightmare Alley [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray]

Noir fatalism has rarely been so alluring as in this vision of the world as a soul-sick carnival of corruption. Putting his own luxuriantly stylized spin on the classic hard-boiled novel by William Lindsay Gresham, Guillermo del Toro conjures a sordid, seductive portrait of America on the cusp of World War II. The film follows Stan Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a roustabout in a traveling sideshow who uses charm and deception to become a phony mentalist preying on the rich and powerful—but at what cost?

Brought to life by an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, and Rooney Mara, and nominated for four Oscars including Best Picture, Nightmare Alley is a haunting descent into the illusory abyss of the American dream. Nightmare Alley 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents both the theatrical version and the striking black-and-white extended director’s cut in pristine restorations approved by del Toro.
