American Psycho
“American Psycho” is a cult classic psychological horror film directed by Mary Harron, based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Released in 2000, it stars Christian Bale in a career-defining role as Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banker living in Manhattan during the late 1980s. The film follows Bateman’s descent into madness as he indulges in increasingly violent and depraved acts while struggling with his own identity and the superficiality of the world around him.
Famous for its dark humor, biting social commentary, and Bale’s chilling performance, “American Psycho” explores themes of consumerism, narcissism, and the emptiness of the American Dream. Despite initial controversy and mixed reviews upon release, the film has since gained a dedicated fanbase and is widely regarded as a modern classic.
Now, Lionsgate is set to reimagine this iconic story for a new generation with a modern remake. As fans eagerly anticipate the return to the twisted world of Patrick Bateman, the remake offers an opportunity to revisit the themes and questions posed by the original film in the context of contemporary society.
