I'm a big fan of Fucli and i was a bit skeptical of this film when i heard that its a dark comedy. But i saw it, and it was simply hysterical. I loved the dark comedy in it. And the character of Lester Parson has a lot in common with American Psycho's Patrick Bateman, but also has many opposites. For example: while Patrick lives in a fancy apartment, Lester lives in a fancy house. Or while they are both rich, Patrick is in no financial problems, but Lester is starting to get into deep debt with gambling (and he also takes money and jewelry from the women he kills to aid his troubles). And one more example - while Patrick's killings basically go unnoticed and dismissed by everyone as a joke in American Psycho, Lester's killings get slowly revealed to everyone by his mysterious nemesis, which turns out to be his own shadow! There are many more examples of their differences, but if you decide to watch this film, you'll notice them along the way.
Also, Fulci's gore effects are (as always) top notch.
This is not a perfect movie by any means, but damn is it fun and gory as heck! If you happen to love Fulci's work and love American Psycho, (or if you simply just like gore) then this is a match made in heaven!
