What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lackluster and ill-conceived, American Psycho 2 ditches its predecessor's clever satire in favor of shallow slasher tropes and unconvincing attempts at dark humor.

Norman Wilner Toronto Star Having survived the infamous Patrick Bateman, a plucky co-ed becomes a slayer in her own right in this entirely unnecessary sequel. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Times (UK) Overcooked cash-in slasher sequel adds a female serial killer but misses the point. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Anonymously directed by Morgan J. Freeman, Psycho 2 trades its predecessor's sharp social satire for a mixture of dumbed-down irony, groan-inducing black comedy, and gratuitous bloodshed. Mar 31, 2025 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The excesses are compounded by an insistence on strewing the action with as much exposed flesh and spurting gore as possible. Shatner is sportingly self-deprecating, but this is strictly for exploitation fiends. Rated: 2/5 Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 This inoffensive and relatively tame so-called sequel is nothing more than formulaic campus frolics with a light twist and just enough surprises to keep the viewer's attention. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review David Bleiler & David Gorgos Philadelphia Daily News A cheap sequel that has about as much in common with the satiric first film as "Cinderella 2" does.

Ryan H. A criminology student wants to be teacher's assistant by killing off the competition after surviving the events of Patrick Bateman. The only thing that ties this to the original is a name drop. The only thing I liked about this was the punny kills. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Szilvia N Complete garbage compared to the original. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review mark g Uh, yeah, total piece of crap. Not smart, fresh, or even remotely innovative. Just hard to see how producers thought this would work. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Audience Member Oh hell no... what is this? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Rare T This is way better than people make it out to be, and the reason is as others have already mentioned: the inevitable comparison with its predecessor because of the title, while in reality this is more of a spinoff than a sequel. American Psycho II has all elements of a successful movie, and it indeed is enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Melissa L I haven't any idea why this movie was so poorly rated. I loved it! Mila Kunis nailed it. As this has been classifed a "dark comedy," it certainly lives up to that name. If you like a little comedy with your slash, you have to view this!
