Released on October 28th, this Criterion edition is more than just a simple re-release. It's a meticulously crafted package designed to immerse viewers in the film's shadowy world. The set boasts both the theatrical version and a black-and-white extended director's cut, officially titled "Nightmare Alley: Vision in Darkness and Light," both presented in stunning 4K UHD Blu-ray.

The director himself supervised the remaster, ensuring optimal Dolby Vision HDR and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound. New introductions by del Toro accompany both versions of the film, offering insights into his creative process. A highlight is the director's cut audio commentary, providing a deeper understanding of the film's themes and nuances.

The set also includes a behind-the-scenes documentary, offering a glimpse into the making of "Nightmare Alley," and a fascinating conversation between del Toro and Bradley Cooper, the film's star and co-producer. An essay by true crime author Sarah Weinman further contextualizes the film's themes of ambition, deception, and the dark side of human nature.

While "Nightmare Alley" initially struggled at the box office, it garnered critical acclaim, earning a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. The inclusion of the black-and-white director's cut, nine minutes longer than the theatrical release, adds another layer of intrigue to this already compelling film. Set in 1939, the monochrome version enhances the film's noir aesthetic, drawing viewers even further into its atmospheric world.
