An intense horror movie!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2018)

Just watched AMERICAN PSYCHO. An intense horror movie! Redefines the genre by delivering a solid plot with a scary lead actor and multiple chilling moments. A little bit of pacing issues could've been handled well but the end takes the viewer by surprise.
Christian Bale is effective. I first saw him as Batman and now as Bateman...His performance is outstanding!
It's hard to decide which genre it actually comes under because it blends multiple genres: horror, drama, crime, thriller etc. But I would classify it as horror because even without the chills, the lead character still is pretty menacing.
The only flaw for me was there were some pacing issues due to which it felt long even at 102 minutes. But that's in a way the film's success!
By the time the end arrives, the film gets elevated to a higher level. It makes me think as if really saw a masterpiece. I did, yes. I did.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who is fine with intense serial killer flicks. Infrequently but still quite graphic. Not for kids, strictly. But for grown ups, a terrific watch!
