American Psycho (Blu-ray)

His status in life blinds all those around him to the fact that he is a serial killer, which is actually quite humorous. fact been some high frequency filtering applied here, but if so, it hasn't materially affected fine detail levels in my estimation. American Psycho makes a glorious Ultra HD Blu-ray debut courtesy of Lionsgate, who afford it a native 4K presentation complete with all the glorious added benefit of Dolby Vision.

My thoughts on the original 4K UHD of the film can be found in my American Psycho 4K Blu-ray review. It is very rare we get a distaff perspective on the horror genre, so even if you only listen to Harron's commentary, it's worth it. Too bad Lionsgate couldn't have gone with a BD-50 dual-layer disc for this release and squeezed in the rest of the extras.

The colour scheme brings the richly cream-and-wood-dominated palette to life with panache, soaking up deep hues, and rendering solid, impenetrable black levels undoubtedly courtesy of that extra Dolby Vision enhancement. Well things do go bump in the night here in both the score and the “Hip To Be Square” soundtrack, but also the chainsaw, gunshots and even explosions near the film’s end when Bateman’s brain is seemingly melting.
