𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: This wicked adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ subversive novel is one of the best horror films of the early 21st century. In his breakout performance, Christian Bale stars as egotistical yuppie Patrick Bateman, an investment banking executive who moonlights as a psychotic serial killer. Director Mary Harron infuses AMERICAN PSYCHO with a perfect blend of dark humor and thrills. You will never listen to Huey Lewis the same way again. Also starring Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, Chloë Sevigny, and Willem Dafoe. Rated R for featuring intense scenes of violence and gore.
