PARTY MONSTER (2003)

Cast

Plot

In the early 90s Michael Alig and James St James were the kings of the party scene. Eventually eclipsing his mentor, if you wanted nihilistic hedonism beyond the realms of your struggling imagination, Alig was your man. A victim of his success and a copious consumer of his own goods Alig's grasp of reality was on a slide and it was only murder, and finding himself slumped at the bottom the barrel that ironically provided any hope of redemption. Party Monster is based on a true story and it's an unflinchingly hard core and darkly humoured look at a world beyond the grasp, indeed comprehension, of most of us.
