interesting comments! thats where the ambiguity comes in I think, Im never sure if he was just a sick guy that imagined it all, including his luxurious life, or a real serial killer who killed some of the people but only imagined killing the rest, or if he was even Patrick Bateman at all.

A lot of things they show in the movie dont make sense and make me believe hes imagining at times, like all the business cards saying 'vice president', or the ATM telling him to feed it a stray cat, or the one gun shot blowing up the cop car, or his lawyer at the end not recognizing him as Patrick Batemen or Paul Allen but as someone else entirely.

I've also read theories that he is none of those people but a representation of the psycho that can be in any person, thus the american psycho title and the fact that hes viewed as a different person by different people but never 100% confirmed to be any actual named person. Some people claim it was an 'all a dream' cop out scenario, but the director stated that was not her intention when making the film.

Also the comments from the detective and the lawyer saying that Pat Bateman was in London with Paul Allen at the time, but the detective referring to him as Pat Bateman but the lawyer calling him by a different name and saying that Pat Bateman was a loser...maybe Im just thinking too much about it lol but I've never felt like I had a concrete answer in my mind at least about what actually happened in that movie...which makes it fun for me to rewatch and ponder, similar to movies like the Lighthouse or the Shining

That's a good analysis of the film. Now let's see Paul Allen's analysis.

I met him for drinks at Dorsia last week. I asked him about it, but he cut it short. He had to leave. Had to return some videotapes...

Nice analysis. Ofcourse, i am no eagle eye viewer... I only watched American Psycho, one time on my computer so i didn't catch the details, you mentioned.

Obsessing over how good the quality of your bussines card was hilarious. Like that is what matters the most. lol

Hellraiser - 7/10
Better than many other entries in the franchise, especially the last two. Unfortunately, the movie does little to add to the lore and mythos of Hellraiser over the first two films. Main character (the junkie) was very unlikable. But I guess the movie is some sort of commentary on how addiction harms the people around you. Add just a dash of "the message." The movie went in another direction over the others. I can't say more without spoilers, but it made no sense to me.

The cenobites were grotesque but perhaps a little too clean looking. They needed a bit of slime or glaze on the skin. Pinhead lady was so stylish with her little white beads on the end of the pins.

Terrifier 2 - 6/10
2+ hours of Art the clown.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - 5/10
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - 9/10

I know some might find it sacrilegious to rate a remake higher than the original, but I have to be honest, the 2003 remake is one of my favorite horror movies of all-time. It's scarier than the original, more gruesome, and contains better acting. I also found the remake's Leatherface much more terrifying than the more childish/comical Leatherface in the original.

Haven?t seen the remake and haven?t seen the original in years. Think I?ll do both this weekend.

The Wolfman (1941): 9/10
Just about a perfect monster movie.

School on Fire (1988) - 5/5
This is literally one of the greatest HK movies I have seen, very dark and gripping at the same time..

Rob Zombie's The Munsters 8/10

This movie's really just sort of a love letter to the original 1964 tv show &, I believe it's almost necessary to have watched at least a few of the original episodes to appreciate what Zombie has done here. The wackiness, cartoonish comedy, over the top characters & situations from the 60's have all been transferred to this new take. The cast perfectly impersonates the original actors to a tee. That the guy who directed House of a 1000 Corpses can turn around & direct a screwball monster comedy is impressive. Of coarse, there are Monster-Fan inside jokes & salutes all through.

Werewolf By Night on Disney + 9/10
The 2nd of the two, so far, Halloween released tv movies I've caught. Loved it. As a huge fan of the comics, I was not disappointed. Jack Russelll now resides in the MCU & I couldn't be happier.
