Party Monster

Directed by: Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato

PARTY MONSTER stars Macaulay Culkin, Seth Green, Chloe Sevigny and Dylan McDermott. Based on the book DISCO BLOODBATH by James St. James, this feature film from award winning filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato is a buddy movie with a lethal twist. Its focus is the friendship between Michael Alig (Culkin) and James St. James (Green), two mismatched kids who meet amidst the early 1990s nightclub scene in New York City. Of the two, James is smarter, but Michael is the quicker study. And although it is James who initiates Michael into the New York club life, it is Michael who gathers around him similar souls---the kids who had been teased and bullied in school--and gives them fabulous new Club Kid identities. They are the Lost Boys to his Peter Pan, and help his rise to fame, as he becomes the premiere party giver. Few can resist Michael’s star power, including Peter Gatien (McDermott), the powerful club owner who indulges Michael as though he were his own son. But as the demands of leading the party parade escalate, Michael’s behavior becomes increasingly outrageous and violent, culminating in murder.
