American Psycho turns 20: Film's director details the infamous murder scene from the Christian Bale starrer
It’s been 20 years since filmmaker Mary Harron released his horror-satire film American Psycho, and yet the infamous murder scene, in which Christian Bale brutally kills Jared Leto with an axe, continues to haunt us. The film came out on April 14, 2000, and was praised by critics and audiences. One of the highlights of the film was the stunningly directed infamous murder scene that looked to real to be in a movie. Turns out, there’s a reason Leto looked so convincingly surprised when Bale’s Patrick Bateman came at him with an axe.
