American Psycho scene question (Spoilers)

So having seen 'American Psycho' and LOVING it, two things left me puzzled. It's been ages since I've seen the movie and don't really remember it. In one scene there is a number that features a Bi-Sexual orgy- Was this supposed to be actually happening or fantasy? And also the ending- I interpreted it as it was all in Patrick's Mind- But I think that was wrong- Did Patrick actually kill all those people? I'm still confused.

I haven't seen the movie but the orgy scene happens while he is really having sex with the 2 prostitutes. The rest of the people are just staging, though, as he sings about how common pleasures like sex can't excite him anymore. He needs to torture and kill. At least that's how I interpreted it.

I don't know where you read this, but here is an interview from earlier this year with Bret Easton Ellis that supplies a different answer:


"Since Patrick Bateman is an unreliable narrator, and it is unclear at the end, have you ever decided whether or not he actually is a killer?
No, I've never made a decision. And when I was writing the book, I couldn't make a decision. That was what was so interesting to me about it. You can read the book either way. He's telling you these things are happening, and yet things are contradicting him throughout the book, so I don't know."
