The Joker is officially back on the big screen, this time with his very own origin movie in which Joaquin Phoenix steps into the role made iconic by Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and others. Joker's trailer is an insanely uncomfortable two minutes that will probably give you nightmares for days. If it felt like a preview for a horror movie, you're definitely not alone in sensing that. Most outlets are already labeling the upcoming movie as a psychological thriller. When you consider the trailer alongside recent cast comments, it's pretty obvious that director Todd Phillips's Joker will be one of the scariest comic book movies ever - but is it a horror movie?
We've known the Joker to be a psychopathic mass murderer throughout his time in pop culture, but he's never been quite as scary or unsettling as he appears to be in the latest trailer.
