American Psycho -

Both the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis and the 2000 film adaptation directed by Mary Harron are definitive works of dark satire, though they differ significantly in their execution and intensity. While the book is notorious for its stomach-turning, graphically detailed violence, the film leans more into black comedy, using Christian Bale's iconic, high-energy performance to mock the vapid narcissism of 1980s yuppie culture.

The movie is widely praised for transforming a controversial, nearly "un-filmable" book into a sharp critique of American capitalism. AmericAn PSYcHO
