American Psycho is the perfect movie for a horror movie night. The details of this film are exquisite and its storyline is also intriguing. The fact that a man leading a very normal and lavish life is actually capable of doing something so violent is what makes the film even scary because very clearly, appearances can be deceptive. In order to thoroughly enjoy this film one must be close attention to to the main character's needs and how his bloodlust gets uncontrollable to an extent that he has to break loose. Christian Bale is a fine actor and he does a phenomenal job at portraying his role as Patrick Bateman. The movie also has a wonderful supporting cast that includes some exceptional actors. The film is definitely capable of giving you the chills and you are always on edge because you don't know what is going to happen next, all we know is there will be blood and there will be lots of it.

Looking for a way to create the character of Patrick Bateman, Christian Bale stumbled onto a Tom Cruise appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman (1993). According to co-writer and director Mary Harron, Bale saw in Cruise "this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes," and Bale subsequently based the character of Bateman on that. Interestingly, Tom Cruise is actually featured in the novel. He lives in the same apartment complex as Bateman, who meets him in an elevator and gets the name of Cocktail (1988) wrong, calling it "Bartender."
During production, Christian Bale followed the morning routine that his character Patrick Bateman describes toward the beginning of the film.
During the shooting of the film, Christian Bale spoke in an American accent off-set at all times. At the wrap party, when he began to speak in his native Welsh accent, many of the crew thought he was speaking that way as an accent for another film. They had thought he was American throughout the entire shoot.
The single biggest cost on the film was purchasing the rights to the various songs used throughout.
The film had various problems with designer labels during production. Cerruti agreed to allow Christian Bale to wear their clothes, but not when the character was killing anyone. Rolex agreed that anyone in the film could wear their watches except Bateman (hence the famous line from the book "Don't touch the Rolex" had to be changed to "Don't touch the watch"). Perry Ellis provided underwear at the last minute after Calvin Klein pulled out of the project. Comme des Garçons refused to allow one of their overnight bags to be used to carry a corpse, so Jean Paul Gaultier was used instead.
"[Recurring line] Patrick Bateman: I have to return some videotapes."
"[last lines] Patrick Bateman: There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
