American Psycho
Killer looks.
Directed by Mary Harron
Produced by Lionsgate, Pressman Film
A darkly satirical psychological thriller that uses graphic violence and narrative ambiguity to dissect the hollow materialism and performative masculinity of 1980s Wall Street.
A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
