USA, 2000
Director: Mary Harron
Starring: Christian Bale, Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Jared Leto, Willem Dafoe
There were quite a few posters for American Psycho issued worldwide,
but this Japanese one is my favorite. It distills the essence of the
movie perfectly, conveying a horror theme within the context of a
pristine yuppie sensibility. The stark black and white mimimalism of
Patrick Bateman's business card is used, but accented with a stylish
blood-red streak as Christian Bale drags a full body bag out of frame.
Its not often that a horror poster uses white as its main color ... and rarely to such great effect.
