The psychological thriller genre has always been my favourite of them all. There has always been a different representation of psychopathy in each film and it has never failed to catch my attention. In this video essay, I break down Mary Harron's classic 'American Psycho' (2000). I analyse the Yuppie Culture, breakdown some iconic scenes, give my thoughts on the ambiguous ending. Essentially, my aim is to explain why it is a perfect example of a psychological thriller and how it manages to explore human perception and unstable character development, all of which answers the question: what makes a serial killer?
