Phoebe - Research for weapon props

For our thriller opening we have a character who is going to be threatening/torturing a victim. For this we need to decide what weapons he could use.

American Psycho (2000)


 Patrick Bateman uses a variety of weapons but in my opinion the two that stood out were the axe and the nail gun. Instead of him going for the obvious kill by using a gun or a knife, by using something odd it changed my view on the scene and made it more physiological as well as thrilling.
 
 
 
 
Also by using something completely ordinary as a weapon, such as a pen, makes the scene a lot more intense. It also gives the idea that something so simple could cause some damage and anyone could get access to it. It makes the spectator sit on the edge of their seat, which is what we're aiming for.
