Description

IT IS A MATTER OF GOOD BREEDING. REALLY. After producing Stuart Gordon s hit Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna (Bride of Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead III) 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. 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. Review Society easily leaps on the short list of best catalog transfers available on the Blu-ray format and is a true delight for videophiles. –DoBlu.com If you like dark films form 80’s with a twisted sense of humor and some nice gore this is for you. –HorrorNews.net Arrow Video’s Society is a showstopper! –Twitch
