Is it wrong that I voted, even though I haven't seen the remake?

It's hard to see the remake being as poor as the 1947 version, but never underestimate the Hollywood hate formula for making movies just to depress and alienate the sane Americans.
I can only say that Nightmare Alley 1947 is 2/10, and that's generous.

I shall avoid the remake. Even the film critic reviewing it in 'The Times' said the remake was impeccably made yet strangely soulless. The original is an awesome movie, one of Edmund Goulding's finest.

The original is an awesome movie, one of Edmund Goulding's finest. That is the perfect way to put it. I rate it a 6/10. The script has substance, but Del Toro is way more interested in the visual style than he is the story. The acting and character interactions aren't convincing and the movie is emotionally cold. In the original, you actually sympathize with the characters, in the remake you hate the characters. The ending lacks the impact of the original for this reason. I can understand why people would like the remake who haven't seen the original though, because the story is still basically the same and the story is very good.
