60 of 191 · most liked firstFull writeup ahead, but I'm all in on the Nightmare Alley B&W cut. It feels like the film this was meant to be. Along with new scenes, Del Toro discusses how moments "breathe" more in ways that feel natural to B&W. With the package/layout, it's also positioned as THE version to watch moving forward.

unlabelledView post →this is worth checking out. I enjoyed Del Toro's version of NIGHTMARE ALLEY but a black and white version would give it that old school film feel.

unlabelledView post →I thought about you a couple weeks ago, TCM had a film noir night & showed Nightmare Alley with Tyrone Power.
unlabelledView post →Wow, they’re renaming the Cinespace Studios after Guillermo del Toro and gave him the Toronto key to the city! Amazing. Such a talented director, and his love for the city has meant a lot to the local film industry. My husband worked on Nightmare Alley, Cabinet of Curiosities, and Frankenstein.
unlabelledView post →Hey, gang, I don’t want to step on the SUTS programming with too many menus but it won’t hurt to take a quick trip to 1947 for a post-movie (Nightmare Alley) snack at Woolworth’s. It’s right down the street from Paramount so we might get lucky people watching! What are we having? #TCMParty
unlabelledView post →Thinking of the ghastliness of circuses, I think that Guillermo del Toro's NIGHTMARE ALLEY is a great film but I feel certain that it never found its audience because it's an unapologetic *bummer*. This is correct. William Lindsay Gresham's novel is also a bummer.
unlabelledView post →Tyrone Power in NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947) Power was BOTD in 1914. He singled NIGHTMARE ALLEY out as his personal favorite of the movies he made. If you're a fan of hardboiled fiction, the 1946 Lindsay Gresham novel upon which the film is based is a must read.
unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Nightmare Alley (1946) by William Gresham was adapted in 1947 & 2021. The latest version, directed by Guillermo Del Toro, more closely mirrors the novel. Using the cutthroat carnival circuit as a backdrop, we get a descent into a crisis of faith & nihilism. 💀🎪😱 #filmsky #booksky

unlabelledView post →"Although it is a surface departure from his prior efforts, stripping away almost all of his usual supernatural trappings, del Toro’s adaptation of Nightmare Alley is one of his most evocative films." @sarahweinman.com for the Criterion edition of this great film. www.criterion.com/current/post...
unlabelledView post →Nightmare Alley (2021). Like Crimson Peak (2015), it will get "rediscovered" 15 years from now. A gorgeous film, trembling with a death drive and rich wood paneled rooms. It makes me smile to see the Del Toro repertory players pop up in small parts, like Jim Beaver in a memorable scene as a sheriff.

unlabelledView post →Cover of a paperback edition of William Lindsay Gresham's great, dark as hell carny novel NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1946). Gresham was BOTD in 1909. I like the 1947 film adaptation starring Tyrone Power, but it's really watered down. Never seen the more recent version with Cate Blanchett

unlabelledView post →Poster for NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947), directed by Edmund Goulding - BOTD in 1891 The movie is very good, but the 1946 William Lindsay Gresham novel it's based on is a stone cold classic of hardboiled literature
unlabelledView post →There's a lot of reasons there: * Oscar winning directors get too much of a free hand on budget and runtime - Mikey 17 was really good but with that budget it was doomed to, at best, break even. * They get offered big projects they may be unsuited for - there was nothing about Nomadland that said Chloé Zhao was ready to direct a blockbuster Marvel movie and it just felt like a cynical exercise to get a bit of indie cred. I doubt she had much creative freedom on The Eternals and would be…

unlabelledView post →Watching @realgdt.bsky.social’s black and white NIGHTMARE ALLEY cut, and it’s obvious from frame one that this is how it should be seen. Beautiful, wicked stuff. This movie didn’t get the respect it deserved on release; happy to own the Criterion 4K.

unlabelledView post →Now you've got me needing to see it. It's been harder to find good movies that I can get. Or freebies. On TMC a couple Fridays ago, I thought they said they were having film noir & I was lucky to see Nightmare Alley. I just looked into Friday & it's nothing interesting. What channel did you see this

unlabelledView post →I haven't seen FRANKENSTEIN yet, but hot take: the B&W extended cut of NIGHTMARE ALLEY is del Toro's greatest movie. A triumph that proves you can make 'em like they used to and even better. This is an achievement most filmmakers would die to craft.
unlabelledView post →Remembering the magnetic and talented Tyrone Power, classic film actor, on his 112th birthday, famous for his roles in JESSE JAMES, THE MARK OF ZORRO, THE BLACK SWAN, THE RAZOR'S EDGE, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, BLOOD AND SAND, THE BLACK ROSE, and WITNESS TO THE PROSECUTION, among others.
unlabelledView post →Gosh Nightmare Alley is such a good movie. The storytelling, the atmosphere. More movies like this please. Also I would love to visit a fun house this sculpted.

unlabelledView post →American novelist William Lindsay Gresham was born on this day in 1909, and sadly passed away in 1962. His best-known book is Nightmare Alley, which is one of my favourite novels, and which has been adapted to film in 1947 and 2021. #WilliamLindsayGresham #OnThisDay #NightmareAlley #book #books
unlabelledView post →Criterion’s October releases are awesome. GdT’s NIGHTMARE ALLEY in black and white will be a must own. We did wrong by that movie.

unlabelledView post →Also, if this makes you feel something, I can't recommend the Guillermo del Toro film Nightmare Alley enough. It's the best look at how this feels I've ever seen. The ending line is a nuclear bomb if your brain is wired a certain way.
unlabelledView post →So my criterion haul for the November sale has been 12 Angry Men, The French Dispatch, and Del Toro's Nightmare Alley. All films I have not seen... until tonight when I watched 12 Angry Men What a fantastic movie about human nature that's still relevant today!

Was in THE BIG COMBO, IMPACT, CALL NORTHSIDE 777, LUCKY JORDEN, CLUNY BROWN & more. Career cut short, gone way too soon💔 #TCMParty #FilmNoir #FilmSky #MovieSky Below in NIGHTMARE ALLEY
unlabelledView post →I still remember nerds reacting to the MCU's smothering of Nightmare Alley by saying it was a movie nobody wanted to see, and that del Toro should have put the movie's budget into COVID prevention. All while Disney was breaking box-office records yet again with a Spider-Man movie.
unlabelledView post →The film noir that made me a fan: NIGHTMARE ALLEY. With a brilliant screenplay by Jules Furthman, sensitive direction by Eddie Goulding, and a perfect cast... this is the definitive version (sorry GDT) of William Lindsay Gresham's bleak, pitiless, terrifying novel. Essential. #NoirvemberChallenge

unlabelledView post →Couldn’t resist picking up Guillermo del Toro‘s “Nightmare Alley” on 4K due to it being a b&w recut of the theatrical film - stuff taken out/new scenes added. And great extra features. What I also really appreciated was getting noir artist Thomas Ott to create the art for the packaging.
unlabelledView post →Fantastic writing here, @sarahweinman.com. Nightmare Alley might be my favorite Del Toro, despite all the other showier movies of his that I love. Just a perfectly built movie. (It's also just about a 1:1 match with the Save the Cat formula, which somehow doesn't diminish it in any way.)
unlabelledView post →Nightmare Alley Film Society in Toronto is having a wonderful 20th-Anni Screening of Noroi tonight at the Revue Cinema and their poster for it is just incredible. Art by Johny Pham!
unlabelledView post →Yeah, good take. Remembering those scenes in 'Nightmare Alley' film noir (most notably the 1947 Tyrone Power version). Resemblance is right-on.
unlabelledView post →I googled it on Tuesday (7/7) but was unable to find it. There is a video of him listing some of the film noirs that inspired his "Nightmare Alley" remake. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0iW...
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽️ Sinners - lived up to the hype Last Spark of Hope - a very small movie about trying to Kirk-logic a computer Nightmare Alley - not all what I expected, but very good Daughters of Darkness - I love 70s vampire trash, doesn’t make them good though
unlabelledView post →Nightmare Alley (1947) is not your usual noir film. No gumshoes or dark alleys - and only a single, dubious murder. But it’s got plenty of femme fatales and seedy, grimy thrills. The whole picture is a fascinating indictment of sacreligious swindling.
unlabelledView post →Watching Del Toro's Nightmare Alley through Criterion I know tge theatrical version was in color but man the film looks so good in black and white
unlabelledView post →I’m starting to read the source novels for the classic noir films. My first was Nightmare Alley, which is a fever dream of a novel, imo. My admiration for the 1947 film really increased after reading the novel. #TCMParty

unlabelledView post →My partner sat through 2.5 hours of NIGHTMARE ALLEY without a single indication they weren’t into it, but suffered for me 🥰 @letterboxd.social
unlabelledView post →You may be like “Hayley why are you excited for the del Toro Nightmare Alley Criterion disc that’s a bad movie” and that is an opinion to have but also that movie has the exact same feverish energy as someone on AO3 who has written all five fics available for a fandom and I can only respect that
