‘American Psycho’
American Psycho is everything you want in a horror film, and so much more. It’s the tale of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy white collar American male who works in finance in New York City who in his words, is “not there.” By day, he’s answering phone calls, attending meetings, bragging about his new business cards and going to expensive lunches. By night, he’s a meticulous killer with a fetish for the band Huey Lewis and the News. Co-starring Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, and Chloë Sevigny, American Psycho is not only an incredible horror film but an impressive commentary on capitalism and Reagan era neoliberalism. But analysis aside, see for yourself the film that is Bale at his best (despite how much he was paid for it).
