Genres: Drama
Rating:
After profiling Monica Lewinsky, Billy_Haynes, and Tammy_Faye_Bakker, documentarians Fenton_Bailey and Randy_Barbato make their feature debut with this true-life tale of the rapid climb and lurid demise of a flamboyant young club promoter in late-'80s/early-'90s Manhattan. Based on James_St._James' nonfiction account -Disco Bloodbath as well as on the writer/directors' own 1998 documentary, Party Monster features former child star Macaulay_Culkin as Michael Alig, a Midwestern teen determined to forget his past amidst the bright lights and throbbing house music of New York City's nightlife. Introduced to the club scene by St. James (Seth_Green), Alig quickly becomes an event promoter himself, dreaming up bizarrely themed dance parties in such unlikely venues as fast-food restaurants and subway cars. But this archetypical "club kid" orchestrates his own downfall when, stoned on designer drugs, he and accomplice Freez (Justin_Hagan) brutally murder their small-time dealer friend Angel Menendez (Wilson_Cruz). Party Monster had its world premiere in the Dramatic Competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. Michael Hastings, Rovi
