| Summary |
"Patrick Bateman is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style - with a stunning fiancée. He is also a psychotic killer who rapes and murders both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Bases on the controversial novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the '80s, while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling."--Container. |
