The Joker movie hit cinema screens on Friday and terrified fans are already leaving the film early as they say it's "too dark and scary".
Film lovers are taking to Twitter to let others know about the new controversial film.
One revealed: "Would have walked out of the joker after an hour if the missus would have let me!"
Another person agreed: "Hmm i don’t like the joker, it’s too dark"
"Okay, my daughter and I didn't make it through the Joker movie. We left the others behind. lol Too dark!" added a third.
But in contrast, many others have praised the new film for highlighting mental illness and what many people suffer with in reality.
One person admitted: "I'm hoping the Joker movie opens the eyes of alot of people about what the opposite side of the coin feels like everyday. Monsters are never born, only created.
"Mental health is real, and ignoring or dismissing it causes real damage. Please think people."
But the film has sparked controversy since it was first released, as critics believe the dark violence could create copycat crimes.
And actor Joaquin Phoenix angrily left the room in an interview with The Telegraph after being questioned about his concerns regarding the film.
After the shooting in 2012 by James Holmes who dressed as the comic book villain and opened fire at a cinema in Colorado, US police are out in full force to prevent crime.
The police said in a statement on Friday: "The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of public concerns and the historical significance associated with the premiere of Joker.
"While there are no credible threats in the Los Angeles area, the department will maintain high visibility around theaters when it opens."
However, it hasn’t put US audiences off. The film premiered in the UK last night, but has been out since Thursday in America, where it took $13.3 million in two days.
