It may have been an inspiration for American Psycho (it came out in the 80s) and there's really nothing extra remarkable about it other than Nic Cage's glorious performance. It's like "we already have American Psycho at home" but on crack instead of cocaine.

Everyone else did boring black text meanwhile Luis used a pretty gold/bronze coloring (and I think green for other text) as well as having a similar colored case, makes the indentation of the lettering stand out better imo. Of course Bateman had to try and kill him, it was clear that Luis had far better taste exceeding his and all else.

    -offensive humor that actually has a point instead of being edgy for the sake of being edgy
    -the protagonist being batshit insane in every single frame
    -making fun of rich white men
