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.

Having survived the infamous Patrick Bateman, a plucky co-ed becomes a slayer in her own right in this entirely unnecessary sequel.

Overcooked cash-in slasher sequel adds a female serial killer but misses the point.

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.

2/5

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.

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.

A cheap sequel that has about as much in common with the satiric first film as "Cinderella 2" does.

A terrible sequel that had so obviously missed the entire satirical plot of its predecessor.

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 punny kills are the best thing about this movie.

Uh, yeah, total piece of crap. Not smart, fresh, or even remotely innovative. Just hard to see how producers thought this would work.

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.
