Part of Midnight Movies.
Teenager Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) has always felt like the odd one out in his wealthy, upper-class Beverly Hills family. For some reason, he just doesn’t seem to fit in. But his sense of alienation takes a sinister turn when he hears an audio recording of his sister’s coming-out party, which seems to implicate his family and others in a bizarre, ritualistic orgy. And then there are the strange things he’s been seeing — glimpses of people with their bodies contorted impossibly out of shape… Is Bill going mad or is there something seriously amiss in his neighborhood? Packing stomach-churning grue and thought-provoking social commentary in equal measure, SOCIETY is a biting horror satire which culminates in one of the most gag-inducing “climaxes”‘ in all of horror history. After producing Stuart Gordon’s hit RE-ANIMATOR, Brian Yuzna turned his hand to directing with 1989’s SOCIETY, and gave birth to one of the ickiest, most original body horror shockers of all time.
