Go ahead and have yourself a creepy little Christmas with the latest Guillermo del Toro film, Nightmare Alley, which is coming to theaters this weekend. Brought to you by the director who gave you Pan’s Labyrinth and 2017’s Best Picture winner The Shape of Water, this neo-noir psychological thriller is a bit outside of del Toro’s usual. (If monsters have a usual, that is.)

Nightmare Alley features an all-star ensemble cast—Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen, and David Strathairn—and tells the story of a dangerous, torrid affair between an ambitious carnival worker Stan Carlisle (Cooper) and a corrupt psychiatrist Lilith Ritter (Blanchett). Disturbing, violent drama ensues.

The movie is already enjoying positive reviews and acclaim, including nominations in the Critics Choice Movie Awards. You don’t want to miss it, so here’s what you need to know about where to watch Nightmare Alley and when to expect Nightmare Alley on streaming.
