‘American Psycho’ Review - Almost a Quarter of a Century Later, Mary Harron’s Bloody, Satirical Stab Is Sharp as Ever

Every now and then, I get met with gasps and outraged expressions when I admit that I have never seen a particular movie deemed a classic. “But you’re the movie buff!” my friends and family exclaim, “How have you never seen that movie?!” These periodic reminders of what a terrible cinephile I am jolt me into action, and I skulk away in shame to see what I have been missing out on. This was recently the case with American Psycho. When my dear colleague and fellow horror fanatic heard I had never checked out this modern classic, she insisted I finally check it out and review it. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it, I guess.
