No, American Psycho is definitely worse than Blood Meridian. In Blood Meridian you have Indians smashing babies on rocks and offscreen pedophilia murder, but in American Psycho a guy is cutting the lips off a woman with scissors, then raping her. Far far worse than Stephen King and probably the worst I've read or watched. Not sure what was going on, but Bret Easton Ellis is gay and probably tapped into some psychosadistic part of his personality.

It's kind of a shame because the concept of the book is pretty good and some chapters are hilarious. The movie and the book have different high/low points, but overall the movie is a better package because the violence isn't intense to the point of distraction.
