Joker's Poltergeist operates within a conventional thriller framework. The plot prioritizes the tension of a business owner recovering from a violent attack over any meaningful engagement with diverse identities or social hierarchies. The narrative relies on established genre clichés, such as the resilient survivor cliché, which limits its ability to offer progressive social commentary. It functions as a localized tragedy rather than a tool for broader social critique. Ultimately, the film lacks the complexity needed to address diverse lived experiences, focusing instead on a singular, traditional conflict of business and survival.
