I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The problem with Society is that it doesn't realize that quirks and offbeat charm can only go so far and that it needs something more- like a substantial premise or great pacing for the other elements to work. Society gets certain quirk elements alright and the ending where a cannibalistic orgy starts is suitably funny or scary whichever way you wanna look. But overall Society is a miss because ofa lack of a good story.

A wonderful little horror flick and directorial debut from Brian Yuzna (who had produced Re-Animator and From Beyond by this point). It really is the subject matter and its delivery that make this film so great.Bill Whitney (basketball star and great debater) played by Billy Warlock is seeing a shrink, because he has these thoughts and visions about his family and believes something's amiss. We the viewer are with Bill on his journey unlocking the mysteries of this secret society. Right to the end involving some wonderful old school effects from Screaming Mad George (love that name!) which are pretty cool.Looking on imdb I see screenwriters Rick Fry and Woody Keith also co-wrote Yuzna's Bride of the Re-Animator as well.Highly recommended and if you do check it out hopefully you will not be displeased by this 1989 horror flick.

Most reviews start out with a short summary of the movie, but Society is one of those films that's best enjoyed when you go in blind. Basically, Bill Whitney feels alienated from the pompous, upper-class world he has been born into, and as bizarre things begin to happen, he soon discovers there is something very different about high society. It sounds like the basic plot of many paranoid conspiracy films, but this one excels for certain reasons. What are those reasons? I won't say, for very recently I went into this film with no idea of what was going to happen and I came out completely shocked and morbidly delighted by what I had seen. I've seen a lot of body horror films, but this one accomplished feats I had never even considered. I came upon this while perusing for campy, vile movies, and upon seeing the cover, I decided this held promise for being acceptably grotesque. It was far more grotesque than I could have ever dreamed. I had never heard of this film before I found it a short while ago, but now I know it must be viewed by all lovers of camp and body horror, hence why I'm writing this review. If this is the kind of movie you look for, then you've found it.
