Society
Directed by Brian Yuzna
A teenager suspects his family are part of a cabal of monstrous socialites who literally prey on the lower classes. Bill’s enjoying life’s privileges when he hears a recording of a family party that suggests it was actually a murderous, incestuous orgy. But that couldn’t be so, could it? Though SOCIETY was released in 1992, it was only recently that its reputation as a masterpiece began to swell like a fleshy blob of aroused aliens. The Cronenbergian final act - filled with outrageously disturbing and blackly comic FX - never loses its power to shock. Essential viewing. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.
A teen suspects his wealthy family are part of a cabal of monstrous socialites.

"Hey Beavis. . . I'm in this movie. Nyeh heh heh. He just totally fisted that guy. . . cool. . . "
It’s All About Fitting In. ‘Sweet Valley High’ crossed with ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers’ and just a dash of ‘The Thing’. Twisted, satirical and a heavy dose of paranoia. A grotesque orgy of a cult film, in more ways than one.
I remember watching this as a teenager on TV thinking WTF, great film lol!
A classic piece of 80's wild body horror and totally over the top shenanigans! A lot of fun, even with the hilariously bad/gross out effects. Painfully relevant in 2024 still given your average day in Hollywood and the "elite" classes. Worth a watch to say you've seen it, hits all the tropes just right, plot has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but that's not why you're watching this let's face it! Happy Shunting!
Completely bonkers. Loved it!
