A true story based on the book "Disco Bloodbath," PARTY
MONSTER tells of the rise and fall of Michael Alig (Macaulay
Culkin),
a kid from middle America who comes to New York in the early
90’s to be fabulous and becomes the #1 party promoter
in New York City. When Michael arrives in New York he quickly
attaches himself to James St. James (author of "Disco Bloodbath"),
played by Seth Green like you’ve never seen him! James
is the sassy, flamboyant queen of the club scene in New York
and Michael convinces him to take him under his wing. But
it’s not long before Michael usurps his teacher and
becomes the belle of every party and starts his own scene
called “Club Kids” made up of other bullied and
disenfranchised youth. As they delve deeper and deeper in
drugs and decadence, their world starts to crumble until
tragedy puts and end to it all. PARTY MONSTER has a supporting
cast of some of the most interesting actors working today
including Dylan McDermott, Wilmer Valderrama ("That 70s Show"),
Chloe Sevigny (BOYS DON'T CRY), Natasha Lyonne (AMERICAN
PIE), Mia Kirshner, and Wilson Cruz ("My So-Called Life").
Watch for
an unrecognizable
Marilyn Manson in a hysterical
performance as the giddy, off-her-rocker, transvestite, Christina.
