Nightmare Alley

In the new psychological thriller directed by Guillermo del Toro, a carnival con man meets a psychiatrist who's even more dangerous than he is.

When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society.
