On Sunday, October 16th, The Mahoning Drive-In Theater inaugurates it’s “Modern Marvels” series of post-2000 film screenings with Mary Harron’s darkly comic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial skewering of Yuppie excess, AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000), on 35mm.
What’s a young, upwardly-mobile city-dwelling investment banker to do when he wants to claw his way to the top of the corporate, social, and sexual ladder?
Pick up the nearest sharp implement and GO FOR IT! Wiping out the competition LITERALLY, he takes no prisoners on his way to be Number One.
Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman, a Yuppie with a yen for the finer things in life, and no compunction about doing whatever he can to get it.
Not for the prudish or squeamish, this film skewers 80s style and excess, delivering the goods as both social satire and modern horror classic, with a killer soundtrack.
Co-starring Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe.
Return your videotapes and head out to the Mahoning to see it on the big, BIG screen!
While it may only be a single feature, it’s a night’s worth of fun with a live preshow DJ set, themed raffle, and more Mahoning mischief then you can swing an axe at!
Gates open at 6pm. Showtime at Sundown (7:30p).
General Ticket: $8 (per person). Kids General Ticket: $5 (under 13yrs).
