American Psycho II: All American Girl
Originally a completely separate throwaway slasher flick, it's unclear whether anyone involved in this project, including director Morgan J. Freeman or screenwriters Alex Sanger and Karen Craig, ever watched American Psycho or read the book it was adapted from. Mila Kunis, who didn't know Lions Gate planned to connect this story to American Psycho (let alone call it a sequel), would publicly apologize for the film and beg others to let the franchise die.
Kunis stars as Rachael Newman, a college freshman obsessed with serial killers since she murdered one as a child (in the brief tacked-on sequence used as an attempt to connect the sequel to the original film). Willing to do anything to get a prestigious teaching assistant job to her favorite professor (William Shatner) which would put her on the fast track to the FBI, Rachael begins murdering the competition, and anyone else standing in her way, while toying with the school psychologist (Geraint Wyn Davies) making him aware of her sociopathic tendencies but staying one-step ahead of his attempts to stop her.
With a lackluster script, hurt even further by attempts to connect it to the much smarter film (if in name only), the sequel relies primarily on Kunis to try and charm her way through a rather unremarkable slasher flick with the expected late twists and turns. Kunis (who speaks virtually non-stop on-screen and in voiceover) does what she can, but no one was ever going to save this sinking ship that begins to take on water fairly early on.
