You know those movies that are so terrible that they're actually fun to watch? This movie is one of them. As a sequel to the incredibly awesome & tense American Psycho it fails miserably. In fact, don't even think of it as a sequel- you'll just be disappointed horribly. Go into this with the same zest you would for a cheesy 80s horror flick, which is what this movie mostly closely resembles. If you aren't a fan of those types of movies then you won't like this flick.

The plotline follows overachiever Rachael Newman as she first starts out as a would-be victim of the infamous Patrick Bateman. (For you AP fans, just pretend that this is another character & that this has nothing to do with the original film.) After escaping & ending his murder spree she decides that she'll spend the rest of her life trying to enter Quantico, where she can put away the bad guys like him. Years later she's in a prestigious university where the US's best criminologist Starkman (who is played to perfection by Shatner) teaches. He announces that he's getting ready to have a new TA, which is a coveted role because it almost guarantees acceptance into Quantico. Rachael decides that she wants this position enough to kill for it.

This is not a good movie. It's downright awful. But then, there's an art to bad movies where they become amazingly fun to watch & this movie has that down to a T. Like I said earlier, don't expect anything from this as far as the original movie goes. (Luckily I wasn't expecting anything so I was able to enjoy it.) Mila Kunis does the best job that she can with the role given to her & Shatner does what he does best in the role of a sleazy college professor. (What, like anyone expects him to actually play a nice guy? This *is* Shatner, you know.) Kunis really steals the show, so fans of her will be sure to be pleased.

As long as you don't take it seriously & are in the mood to watch a good cheesy flick, this will be sure to please. If you're looking for something that's a real follow up to the original film then you're better off reading the phone book or staring at the wall- you'll be more likely to find it there than in this film. I really feel like this film was done a disservice by attaching the American Psycho name to it, otherwise I think it would have done much better on it's own & developed more of a cult following.

4/5 for the guilty pleasure of watching it

1/5 for the actual quality of the film- it is what it is, a flick that really isn't very good. (still love it, though)

Ok all you wanna be Siskel and Eberts you are SUPPOSED to, actually, review the DVD as well-extras, quality, bonus features you know that sort of thing. Obviously the plot is above in the description of the film you are going to purchase.

Everyone's a friggin critic or reviewer.

I came across this author's name in a crossword puzzle and was intrigued by this title.
I never saw the movie so have no way to compare the two.
The story does convey the cool detached attitude of a sociopath toward his fellow man and his victims. I feel the author spent too much time making sure you knew the compulsiveness of the psycho. Entire chapters were devoted to his detailed descriptions of his fashionable attire and his analysis of pop music.
The book could have been half as long while still having the impact.
If you want details of torture and murder then this book is for you.
Frankly it was more than I needed to know.
How does one recommend a book like this without seeming to be a psycho yourself?
