The Man Upstairs - Overall idea

American Psycho

American Psycho

Twilight

For my overall concept of the Killer/Man upstairs I wanted to grasp the feel of a psychotic killer but bring a sexual twist to the forefront.  I love Christian Bale in American Psycho, he is extremely handsome but at night he is a psychotic killer - perfect! That is exactly what I want to achieve.  I thought I could make the look have a more sexual feel by simply doing it topless like the boys from Twilight do very well!

All the psycho films capture the essence of what I want to achieve.  Its all about the look from the eyes.  That is why I want to make sure I get the correct model to give me that psychotic pose.  The sexiness within the shoot will just soften the whole concept a little and make a little less horror/gore.
