Till death do they party.
The New York club scene of the 80s and 90s was a world like no other. Into this candy-colored, mirror ball playground stepped Michael Alig, a wannabe from nowhere special. Under the watchful eye of veteran club kid James St. James, Alig quickly rose to the top... and there was no place to go but down.

Despite the film's quality resembling a 2006 BBC series uploaded to YouTube, this was a wild watch. Very campy, dark, and weird, yet so intriguing. The fact that this is Macauley Culkin's first starring role since Ritchie Ritchie in 1994 must have been an unusual comeback for some at the time. Mulkin has an interesting career, I can tell you that. Bonus points for playing the song It Can't Come Quickly Enough by Scissor Sisters - one of my favorite songs. I didn't expect it, but I had a smile on my face when it played.
New York clubbers. 2000s glamour.
Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin team up to explore the morally and sexually confused NYC night club scene of the early '90s. Shot with a transparent low budget, it's an excruciatingly amateur production: bad lighting, listless performances, crude cinematography and creatively bankrupt screenwriting are just the tips of the iceberg. Neither Green nor Culkin seems particularly involved in their roles, with each actor's strange cadence and emotionless delivery giving the constant impression that a cash-strapped director used first takes for every shot. Lacking even a single likable character, Party Monster chooses to embrace and celebrate a lifestyle so waspy, entitled and superficial that I caught myself actively rooting against the lot of them. Overdrugged, shallow, trivial and irritating, its only use might be as a showcase of fantastically absurd costumes and makeup.
