Joker is a horror movie. I will classify it as social horror, while I’ve seen others label it psychological horror. As I find One Flew over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Se7en and to an extent Network as social horrors, Joker falls right into this category. Cynema is not about “movie reviews” yet I have to tackle some of that to get to my point. Joker is not Cynema, which is why I have taken the time write about it for this blog. However, it is Cinema. What Warners and Disney have done with “comic book movies” can be debated forever and already more than enough has been written about their production and validity as real cinema. See the recent Martin Scorsese or Jennifer Aniston (?) flap to make a point. The important one is Scorsese’s opinion as he full out declared comic book films, particularly Marvel adaptations as theme parks and not real artistry, film or even close to cinema. Scorsese
