- The opening credits are set in simple and black text, on a clean white background
- There is stylised blood dripping on-screen, to denote the violence that impacts the film later
- There is a somewhat eerie and suspenseful music, whenever blood drips down from the top of the screen, a staccato of music pronounced
- The writing of the credits fates subtly in and out
- Classical music starts playing louder and less subtly. This adds a more elegant theme to the opening credits
- The blood becomes even more apparent, striking and bold, and begins splattering on the base of the screen as the title of the film begins to fade in
- The blood fades away from the screen and a plate of meat appears, and is promptly chopped by a knife. This hints at the idea of murder and killing which is the main theme of American Psycho
- There is food being served, and it becomes obvious that the setting is that of a restaurant
- Waiters are presented, and talk to unidentifiable people about what the restaurant has to offer
- The camera cuts to three characters talking, one of which is Patrick Bateman, the main antagonist and main character of the film
What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere. - Dom Cobb (Inception)
