The Man Who Laughs Review: The Origin of the Joker!

Would you like to go back to a time when horror films had to focus on unsettling visuals, as opposed to shallow jump scares? A time before cinema became burdened by the integration of sound? This week we discuss the silent film "The Man Who Laughs" (1928), Written by J. Grubb Alexander, Walter Anthony, Mary McLean, and Charles E. Whittaker; and Directed by Paul Leni. Venture back to a cruel time, where young men like Gwynplaine would be mutilated simply to make a point. Despite the trauma inflicted upon him, will Gwynplaine eventually learn to accept his deformity and embrace love?
