American Psycho -vostfr- -

You don’t just want to understand what Patrick Bateman is saying; you need to feel how he says it. You need to hear the trembling restraint as he compares typefaces. You need the sudden explosion of "FEED ME A STRAY CAT."

In VOSTFR, the horror comes from the juxtaposition of Bale’s cheerful, talk-show-host voice ("The heart of rock and roll is still beating") with the brutal visuals. When he screams "TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!"—that raw, spittle-flying rage is unique to Bale.
