    i realized that "party monster" (the film) was real only after watching the interviews and the documentary.

    I only came to watch this Shockumentary after watching "Party Monster" the movie.

    I thought that it was interesting, but I was left wanting more. It seemed as if they only touched the surface, as if it is something that still doesn't want to be spoken about.
