Mary Harron’s pitch-black adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s controversial novel turns the horror of capitalism into literal bloodsport with American Psycho, the pick for our Page To Screen series this month!

Set in a world of business cards, designer suits, and haute cuisine no one actually eats, American Psycho is as much a razor-wire satire as it is a psychological thriller. Harron directs with icy precision, peeling back the layers of toxic masculinity, status obsession, and moral decay with wit as sharp as an ax to the face.

Stylish, savage, and deeply quotable, this cult classic remains disturbingly relevant and feature’s a star-making performance from legendary actor Christian Bale.
