Party Monster

Party Monster primarily evokes a strong sense of the Disturbing, reflecting the extreme drug use, depraved behavior, and the brutal murder at the core of Michael Alig's story. Sadness and Melancholy are prominent, capturing the tragic downfall of a once-celebrated figure and the destructive nature of the club scene. Disgust and Anger are provoked by Alig's arrogant actions and his boasting about the crime. Anxiety builds as the narrative progresses towards the inevitable consequences, while Empathy is felt for the victim, Angel Melendez, and perhaps a complex, cautionary empathy for Alig's self-destruction.
