Billy Warlock, Devin DeVasquez, Evan RichardsSummary: 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 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 a bizarre audio recording of his sister's coming-out party. 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 gore and thought-provoking social commentary in equal measure, SOCIETY is a biting horror satire which culminates in one of the most surprising "climaxes" in all of horror history.
