Would it be better if it was directed by a man?
The murder scenes were tame and this was likely due to the female director
shareThe murder scenes in Seven were tame too, directed by a man btw, what’s left unseen often adds to the horror.
And in that regard, similarly to Seven, American Psycho isn’t meant to be taken in as a horror film, its primarily a social commentary on the lavish lifestyle some individuals lived out in the 80’s, laden with dark humor and a serial killing CEO as our protagonist.
