Technically, Lionsgate’s American Psycho remake is being reported as a reinterpretation of the novel by Bret Easton Ellis and not an actual remake. Originally released in 1991, the novel was so controversial that it wasn’t available in hardback until 2012 and was found in the homes of multiple serial killers. The film became a lightning rod for criticism as well, with some deriding it for glamorizing Patrick Bateman, similar to how its contemporary, Fight Club, has been misunderstood.
