Nightmare Alley (2021)
Stan takes over a carnival carny job and burns his house down. Stan finds it disturbing that any man can reach the stage of being a geek. Clem says that Clem seeks out drug-addicts or alcoholic men who have trouble pasts and promises them a job with him and an opium-laced drink. Clem then makes use of their dependency until they become mad and depraved, creating a new geek. Stan works alongside “Madame Zeena”, a clairvoyant, and Pete, her husband. Stan is warned by Zeena and Zeena not to use their skills as they can cause injury. Stan is attracted to Molly, a fellow performer and suggests a 2-person act. –Wiki
