The House at the End of the Street(or was it Neighborhood?) I cannot remember but it didn't do so well back in the 70's cause it was exceptionally violent and gorey.

According to starpulse.com American psycho, trainspotting and fight club are similar. guess it's all a matter of opinion though. these movies made a bit of sense to me, clockwork orange didn't.
