Movie Review: Party Monster
Summary: 5 Stars
Party MonsterThe most shocking part about "Party Monster" is that it is a true story. The story of murder and mayhem among the Club Kids of the late 1980's and early 1990's, in New York, starring Macaulay Culkin as Michael Alig and Seth Green as James St. James, was based on James St. James' book "Disco Bloodbath". The book was rereleased as "Party Monster", after the movie was released. The story tells of Michael Alig's rise to fame as a party promoter in New York night clubs, and other improvised locations, funded by club owner Peter Gatien. Alig and his Club Kids wore wild costumes and makeup, and generally caused mayhem wherever they appeared. St. James was a drug addict, and soon Alig got heavily involved in drugs. Alig had a magazine for his Club Kids, called "Project X", also funded by Gatien. They appeared on television shows, most notably on Geraldo Rivera, doing nothing but looking fabulous and shouting about sex and drugs. However, this is a murder story, which is revealed at the very beginning, so this is no spoiler. I will not reveal the details, but suffice to say that Michael Alig and his accomplice, a costume designer called 'Freez', are both in jail to this day. It is a chilling story of what can happen when the party life, drugs, and inhibition lead to the extreme in behavior. It is so extreme that it is almost unbelievable - if it were not all so very true.
