In Guillermo Del Toro's 'Nightmare Alley' Men Are Monsters and Monsters Are Men

With his remake of Edward Goulding’s 1947 noir classic, “Nightmare Alley,” del Toro ditches the monsters under the bed entirely, focusing only on the monster within. All of the director’s signature elements - religious parables, rigid moralizing, gestures towards the supernatural - are given the requisite amount of attention.
