In Mary Harron's cult classic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' divisive and shocking novel, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a young professional in New York City in the late eighties who has it all: looks, money, influence… and an appetite for bloodshed. By day, Bateman works out, makes reservations at the city's hottest spots, and considers his position in the professional pecking order. By night, he is a gruesome serial killer, setting his murderous sights on colleagues, call girls and strangers he passes on the street. Harron's uncompromising and biting dark comedy explores what makes a man a monster.
