Yuck!
This movie was really bad. There was nothing likeable about the entire film. Aside from being morbidly gruesome, none of characters were interesting in any way. They were all self absorbed materialistic snobs, and they were all exactly alike! As for the serial killer....well, he was just painful to watch in general. Did we have to hear him drone on about those CDs while he planned his murders? I kept wishing he would just shut up! His mannerisms and the way he talked in that "way too white boy" accent, were tiresome after the first ten minutes. I have read several of Bret Easton Ellis's novels and I found them boring and redundant. Doesn't this guy have anything more to say than, "we are a materialistic, inherently bad society with poor moral values?" I think he covers that same ground in every novel he writes. And whats his obsession with the decadence of the 80's? Man, it's over dude. Forget it and move on!
