My rating: 7.5/10

Will I watch it again? Yes.

Boy, it's been years since I last watched this and it's just as fun as before. Christian Bale delivers an incredibly fun performance and the rest of the cast hits all the right marks.  The mix of humor and horror (the emphasis is clearly placed on the humorous outrageousness of it all) is brilliant.  Patrick Bateman (Bale) extolling the merits of Huey Lewis and the News' record catalog while setting up a brutal murder is hilarious.  And then there's the instant-classic scene with the exchange of business cards.  That slays me.  It's a sick and twisted comedy of horror with Christian Bale having a blast on screen.  If you like your serial killers running around naked, covered in blood and wielding a chainsaw that's hungry for blood, then this flick is definitely for you.
