The chainsaw scene in American Psycho, 2000, is one of the most surreal and disturbing moments of Christian Bale's career. As Patrick Bateman readies himself to murder a victim with a chainsaw, he menacingly chases the lady down the hallway. The bizarre nature of the scene, combined with Bale's performance, created a memory for the audience that will last. This moment shows Bale's ability to mix sheer horror with hints of absurdity, which is why American Psycho is one of his best-known movies.
