10 Horror Movie Sequels That Pissed Everyone Off
7. American Psycho 2
American Psycho 2 centres around a criminology student called Rachel who was traumatised after the serial killer, Patrick Bateman, murdered her babysitter. Desperate to become an FBI agent, Rachel joins a government program and kills anyone that might jeopardise her chances of earning the position.
American Psycho 2 is the worst kind of follow-up since it feels utterly disconnected from its predecessor. The first entry was a satire which dissected consumerism, classism, and materialism. This film, on the other hand, is just a generic slasher. Apart from a handful of references to Bateman, you couldn't tell this was a sequel to American Psycho.
Oh, wait. It wasn't. American Psycho 2 originally had no affiliation with the first film. 90% of this movie was completed before the producers foolishly decided to turn it into a follow-up to Bret Easton Ellis' adaptation. Just to add insult to injury, the film ruins the character of Patrick Bateman by confirming he was a cold-blooded murderer, while the previous movie heavily implied he fabricated his serial killer persona.
Not only did Bret Easton Ellis denounce this sequel, the lead star, Mila Kunis, called it an utter embarrassment to her career.
