Party Monster
With PARTY MONSTER, directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE) rework their 1999 shockumentary into a feature film. Based on the book by James St. James, PARTY MONSTER tells the lurid tale of Michael Alig (Macauley Culkin), a self-made party promoter who made a big splash in New York City nightclubs in the 1980s and early '90s. Told in shifting perspectives between Alig and James (an utterly fabulous Seth Green), the film recounts the events that eventually landed Alig in jail for manslaughter. The story begins like so many others: an innocent, fresh-faced Midwesterner arrives in New York City with dreams of superstardom. And after a brief bit of struggling, Michael turns his fantasy into a reality. Soon, the confident youngster is the toast of the town, throwing parties at the infamous Limelight for owner Peter Gatien (Dylan McDermott). But eventually he succumbs to drug abuse and paranoia, which climaxes in the murder of his drug dealer Angel (Wilson Cruz). Bailey and Barbato recreate this wild moment in history with glee, and they pack their film with enough celebrity firepower (Chloe Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne, Marilyn Manson) to glamorise the story even further.

Based on fact and an earlier documentary by the same directors, a gaudy look back at the drug-fuelled excesses of the early 80s that is knowingly shallow.

shudderingly bad
I did actually physically cringe at both the acting and the lines in this film. In fact there is no getting away from it, it was dreadful. Culkin certainly ... read more »

Don't waste your time.
Rubbish. Stopped watching after 15 minutes.
The book was interesting but this movie does not do it any justice. The acting was childish and poor. - 1088767

Oh my god....
