After that 70's show she really made some good film choices. This one is kinda iffy. Especially when billed as "Part 2" you sorta expect something similar to the original, not slap stick comedy. But is is a decent comedy, just don'e expect ANYTHING like the original. Because you will be disappointed. How the writers came up with this using the title of the movie is confusing. It's a light, snarky teen comedy. Not the dark suspense of the original. But to each their own. I just thought viewers needed to know what they are getting into because AP was a great disturbing film. That fulfilled it's title well. This one is a little deceiving, but seeing Kunis AND SHATNER in the credits would make most figure it can't be ANYTHING like the original. Their careers are not drawn down that dark path

At the age of 12, Rachael (Mila Kunis) is held captive by Patrick Bateman along with her babysitter. She manages to escape leaving behind a dead Patrick. She doesn't tell anybody and becomes fascinated with psycho killers. Six years later, she's an ace student eagerly attending professor Starkman (William Shatner)'s class. She is pushing to be the new class assistant and on the fast track to the FBI. But the school administrator doesn't let freshmen apply. That's before she was murdered by a hooded killer. Brian (Robin Dunne) is a scheming rich boy with poor grades who is underhandedly pushing for the same job.Mary Harron is gone. Of course, Christian Bale is nowhere to be seen. That's not all there is to the changes. The tone is all light weight. It feels like Nancy Drew takes up killing. That music just makes everything worst. So one must abandon the original to see this movie for what it is and not what one wants it to be. A serial killing Nancy Drew is not the worst concept. I wish it was done better and without that annoying music. About halfway thru, there is a nice little reveal. It changes the tone temporarily to something better but it changes back. That music and the comical tone just makes this movie feel very cheesy. Even the final reveal which is nice cannot save this.

You know this is a Killer Movie because there are these icepicks poking your ears for the first fifteen minutes. That was the shrill voice-over narration that could send sane Folks screaming from their seats and adolescents killing the killer of their babysitters.It doesn't get any more pleasant after the ear piercing. The "Musical Interludes" substitute when the voice-over is on break and while not as penetrating they are pathetic and may have you reaching for the volume button or the vomit bag.The humor is humorless, the murders are mundane, the acting is below par, and what passes for any Artistic expression from the Filmmakers is "that's a wrap". This betrays so many expectations and loudly proclaims..."this is all in good clean Serial Killer fun"...but it isn't.It is not anything but embarrassing for all involved and the most surprising thing is that on the DVD commentary the Director and Star actually attached themselves to this with pride. That says a lot.

Thankfully, I caught this on one of the On Demand channels, so basically no money was spent on this piece of garbage. This shouldn't have been linked to American Psycho in any way. It seemed like there was an idea for a film, they knew they wouldn't profit much on it, and so they slapped the name of a successful film on it to fix the problem. Everything that was perfect about the first film was stripped away and replaced with teen slasher clichés and pure annoyance. I could barely make it through and nearly turned it off several times. It's rare that a sequel is able to stand up to the initial installment, but for a sequel to be so horrible that I nearly give up on it entirely is something completely different. If you're a fan of American Psycho, slasher films, films in general, avoid this one. Terrible. Just awful.
