American Psycho
Directed by Mary Harron
Wealthy businessman Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) spends his nights serial killing in Mary Harron’s stylish and side-splitting adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial novel. Set in the coke-fueled world of New York in the 1980s, Harron’s film offers tons of twisted pleasures, from Christian Bale’s brilliantly unnerving performance (and droolworthy bod) to blackly comic chainsaw chop-em-up sessions soundtracked by the scariest pop tunes of the decade. The result is a modern horror classic that cleverly uses gore to satirize the nastiness of the Reagan era. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.

I love Huey Lewis and The News!
Black comedy satirical Alice-of-life film about excess of the 80s
A fascinating story about a killer who has everybody fooled, even himself. A masterpiece of perspective and unreliable narration that is a little difficult to follow, albeit intentionally.
Comic masterpiece. 22 Skulls for dubs
Truly scared me so bad that I will not watch another movie with this actor...he played the role too good and now he will always be a serial killer to me......a must see
