評分和評論

Part of the scenery is reminiscent of "American Horror Story" on FX Channel. They had one season all about Carnies/Pop-up Fairs; and I'd be surprised if they didn't use parts from their sets. Regardless, this film has GREED for its theme, alongside gruesome acts to obtain success/wealth. I gave it three stars because the storyline was a bit drab and I couldn't relate/believe with most of the acting; except for Cate Blanchett. Guillermo del Torros makes amazing movies; unfortunately, this wasn't.

It was okay. It really never got into a "horror" element. More of a psychological confidence movie with a touch film noir. The decisions, and respective consequences, were a bit more obvious than I was hoping and the foreshadow scenes ruined the final ending. The acting was good but the director choices turned this into a "just okay" movie

Amazing movie! Very true to the original. Amazing performances and of course direction. Guillermo is in fine form with this dark, tragic tale.
