In New York City in 1987, a handsome, young urban professional, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), lives a second life as a gruesome serial killer by night. The cast is filled by the detective (Willem Dafoe), the fiance (Reese Witherspoon), the mistress (Samantha Mathis), the coworker (Jared Leto), and the secretary (Chloë Sevigny). This is a biting, wry comedy examining the elements that make a man a monster.
After the screening, stay for a discussion on American Psycho with Professor Benjamin Hudson of Rollins College! At Rollins, Professor Hudson teaches both upper-level and general-education courses in the history of horror. His research and teaching focus on nineteenth-century British literature; his secondary interests are in aestheticism, sexuality studies, and the intellectual history of amateurism.
2000, 104 minutes, Rated R, Directed by Mary Harron
