From Brian Yuzna, producer of RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND comes this rather disturbing 1980s look at the horrors of the upper class. Young Billy (Billy Warlock) feels a certain strangeness enveloping him in his bourgeois suburban neighborhood. A little sleuthing reveals a secret society which thrives on cannibalism, incest, and the ability to do some rather otherworldly things during sex. An interesting and overlooked horror entry, SOCIETY features horrifying and memorable makeup effects.

    A truly unique shocker, this mixture of social comment and splatter horror will definitely not be to everyone's taste. Is Bill Warlock just paranoid about his well-respected Beverly Hills family? Or do they really get up to unspeakable taboo-breaking orgies when he's not around? The answer involves a great deal of special make-up effects, including torso distortion, melting flesh, deviant gender blurring and surreal spectacle. Disturbing and silly in roughly equal amounts, this over-the-top exposé of what the rich are really doing to the poor, marked the directing debut of Brian Yuzna, whose credits as producer include 1985's Re-Animator and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

    men-arse to society

    We rented this film one night purely on the basis of the front cover and we thought it was wicked. I don't want to generalise but let's face it, If you usually rent films like 'Runaway Bride', 'The Horse whisperer' or 'Heathers' this one probably isn't for you. That's said if your open to seeing a bloke's face turn into an anus give it a go. After all, it's only a bit of fun.

    One to watch.

    Fantastic film, I watched this over

    15 years ago and thought it was

    pretty nuts then and my opinion

    hasn't changed. It's fantastic.

    Very strange, funny, and rather

    gruesome in parts you will never

    forget this movie !!
