warning may contain spoilerssince this do not make theatre ( thank god ) every dvd and vhs with this movie on it deserve to be ax and chainsawed and stab and nailgunned and everything that patrick bateman do to his victim in the movie and book . whereas the original have originality and humour and sharp wit and and good script writing and great direction and act talent and this movie lack all of them . harron and turner and bale and sevigny and dafoe and others make a great movie . of which both the making and finish product be put through the ringer with location withdraw at the last minute and shoot have to keep a low profile and and ban attempt . the result be a work of art . but this film undo all the work of the original . the acting be wooden and character be play lamely and and lack any emotion and charisma or personality . wit be non existent and and the attempt at humour be so lame that if i be to laugh i would laugh at the patheticness of it all . the music be awful and the voice over ( unlike in the true american psycho ) be annoy . and while there seem to be an attempt at send up campus life and politics and it be not a redeeming factor at all and the writer appear to give up on it after not too long . it be simply a teen slasher movie that have ( for reason unknown ) add the name american psycho to itself and and bring in the patrick bateman angle . it be like this scenario while artist a do a painting and artist b do their own painting and but then place scene and subject from the work of artist a. i be not sure how long this sequel be in planning or when it be decide and but thats the situation a i see it . all that differntiates from teen slasher be that we know who be do the killing and but that be take out of the first . so theres no originality there . what be really bad about this film be that it tell you that bateman actually do the killing in the true american psycho . the only person who have the right to say whether patrick really do commit the murder or not be ellis . he be the author of the original american psycho story and therefore only he should decide . i read that ellis in fact and state that in the novel and all that actually ever happen be that bateman might have horrible thought of you and draw horrible picture a well . that the killing do not really take place be also convey ( a i saw it ) in the original . so do not all we who execute the sequel feel silly now . and even though i have call this a sequel ( for ease of write ) i do not recognise it a such . as far a i be concern we leave the world of bateman in the novel when the final page be turn ( even though i never read it properly ) and and in the film when the end credit begin roll . until ellis write a continuation of american psycho and to me bateman be alive and kick . see only if youre absoloutely desparate or want to write a critical review of a movie . otherwise avoid at all cost .
