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 Apr 1, 2025
Having survived the infamous Patrick Bateman, a plucky co-ed becomes a slayer in her own right in this entirely unnecessary sequel. Go to Full Review Stephen Dalton The Times (UK) Apr 1, 2025
Overcooked cash-in slasher sequel adds a female serial killer but misses the point. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Mar 31, 2025
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. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Aug 31, 2025
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. Go to Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 Apr 4, 2025
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. Go to Full Review David Bleiler & David Gorgos Philadelphia Daily News Apr 1, 2025
A cheap sequel that has about as much in common with the satiric first film as "Cinderella 2" does. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nolan M @vyzee Sep 23, 2026 I would give this a lower rating if I could. See more Landon J @Minxsykitty Jul 29, 2026 Not as bad as the reputation would have you believe. Really fails to fill the shoes of it's predecessor but it doesn't make it a bad horror romp. Kinda like the cross between a chicken wing and "Scream" in a way. See more Michael P @TheeMichael-jai Dec 2, 2025 A terrible sequel that had so obviously missed the entire satirical plot of its predecessor. See more Ryan H @RyGuy Oct 28, 2025 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. See more Szilvia N @RT17709421 Sep 16, 2025 Complete garbage compared to the original. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. May 7, 2025 Uh, yeah, total piece of crap. Not smart, fresh, or even remotely innovative. Just hard to see how producers thought this would work. See more Read all reviews
