Nightmare Alley

Description

Nightmare Alley is a 2021 psychological thriller film directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, and Willem Dafoe. The film is an adaptation of the 1947 novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham. It tells the story of a carnival worker named Stanton Carlisle (Cooper), who rises through the ranks of the carnival world by using his skills as a manipulator and con artist. However, his ambition and greed lead him down a dark path, as he becomes embroiled in a web of deceit and corruption.

The film explores themes of power, manipulation, and the corrupting influence of ambition. Del Toro's direction and the performances of the cast, particularly Cooper and Blanchett, have been praised for their intensity and nuance. The film's visual style, which evokes the gritty, seedy world of carnivals and sideshows, also received praise for its ability to create a sense of unease and danger.

Overall, Nightmare Alley is a well-crafted, gripping thriller that delves into the psyche of its characters and the dark side of human nature. With a talented cast and director, the movie is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers, crime dramas, and film noir.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Filmed as the immediate continue of the first 1974 movie in the franchise signature "shock 'till you drop" style, Texas Chainsaw 3D, picks up the story line of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre exactly where it was left off by the first movie. So, in order to refresh all the aforegoing events of the movie you may need to watch once again (or just watch) the first one. However, it's needless to say that Texas Chainsaw 3D is the seventh movie in this slasher franchise, so it would be very hard (if not impossible) to determine what the difference between them all. Nevertheless, the CGI effects are developing constantly, which, in the case of horror movies, means that the quality of bloodbaths and other meat ins and outs would be incredibly realistic in this new John Luessenhop's movie. The story of Texas Chainsaw 3D starts when Heather Miller learns that she inherits the mansions from her grandmother she never known; when she visits her new house, he realizes that the mansion is inhabited by some horrible entity. As for ensemble cast it needs some special words about: the main protagonist, a gorgeous Heather Miller is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario, who may be familiar to you by her participating in such a well-known projects as Hall Pass, Bereavement, Nurse Jackie and Damages; while Dan Yeager plays the main villain, Leatherface - you may not know him well, but this was the guy who has produced Ordinary Average Guys short film in 2011.
