The beginning of the downfall, of the horror genre start with this awful porn film.

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2011)

American Psycho is another one of THOSE movies. You know, the ones with a high-rating that just happen to suck.
Lots of people rant about the downfall of horror after 1999 and although I have a lot of favorites from the 2000's I have too say they speak the truth. Horror nowadays is basically bad acting, sprinkled with bits of gore and vulgar language. This horrible movement began with this film.
American Phsyco is about a 27 year-old business man named Patrick Bateman. Patrick is popular with his friends, drowns in women every night, dines at the most expensive restaurants and has a very nice business card. But what his co-workers don't know is that his smirk hides the life of a dedicated pshycopath.
The films holds your interest for a good while with scenes of gratious gore and plenty of black comedy, but it's not long before we realize that American Psycho is stuck in a time-warp. The same thing happens every day. Patrick goes to work, barely conceals his psychopathic alter ego from his friends, picks up a whore, has sex and then kills the whore. Our reward? To see him do it all over again, except next time with different bland dialouge.
AP had potiental, and some bits are interesting. But the final product is quite a mess. Horror fans should at least give it a viewing though. After all, some people enjoy crap. 4/10
