Guillermo del Toro’s new TERROR, which failed in theaters, is a hit on Star+

Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro is considered by many to be one of the finest and most stylish directors of our time, with incredible films to his credit such as ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’, ‘The Shape of water” and “Hellboy”.

His new horror, “Nightmare Alley,” received critical acclaim with an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.

A failure in theaters, the film was released the same weekend as the “Spider-Man: No Homecoming” phenom and was overshadowed and forgotten by audiences. The horror debuted for a measly $2.9 million in the US – which is an DISTRACT debut for a production budgeted at $60 million.

Now, the production finally finds its audience in the Star+ catalog – where it debuted among the most watched films in streaming.

In addition to producing and directing, Del Toro also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Kim Morgan.

The cast includes Bradley Cooper, Toni Collette, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, David Strathairn, Rooney Mara and Holt McCallany.

Like the original, the new feature will also be based on the book written by William Lindsay Gresham.

The first adaptation was released in 1947 and directed by Edmund Goulding. The noir classic tells the story of an ambitious young man who begins a relationship with a psychiatrist even more corrupt than himself. The two get along well destroying people’s lives, but soon begin a manipulation between them.
