shockingly bad

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2000)

This is the worst horror film I've ever wasted my time to see. 'scream' and 'I know what you did last summer' would make a much more interesting watch than this piece of trash! Those other slasher flicks have a story line and a motive and you know not to take them seriously, but 'American Psycho' wants to be taken seriously and send across a message or something. It's stupid, boring and the story (not that there is much of one) is never fully explained. In the end I just sat there thinking well this is the biggest waste of time. It's confusing and the murder and sex scenes are just there for the heck of it - hoping that it might hold your attention. I watched this film fall further and further apart and I hoped that at the end it might all come together but I was too hopeful, obviously. It's a meaningless, for the heck of it movie and I would never even dream of recommending it to someone unless I wished them to suffer in the same way I did. I've seen my share of bad films, but I take off my hat to this one. 'American Psycho' - you take the cake of all awful.
