Description: A slick update of an infamously grim Noir cult-classic about con-artist double crosses at the intersection of corrupt psychiatry, fraudulent fortune-tellers and the carnival freak show circuit that feels tailor made for the sensibilities of director Guillermo de Toro. As it turns out, this time maybe too tailor-made.
