Society doesn't is not content simply crushing your amygdala, it wants to twist the nightmare on all psychosexual levels. [Full review in Spanish]

One of those alarming accomplishments that simply has to be seen to be believed, Brian Yuzna's inspired Society is biting social satire

Rated: 3.5/5

Gone With The Twins

Having worked on several "body horror" pictures leading up to this directorial debut, Yuzna handles himself admirably in a hilariously grotesque blend of comedy and scares.

Rated: 6/10

It is disgusting but beautiful, it's a twisted peculiar 1980s gem.

Might be too ambitious for a teen horror pic, but it grabs your attention.

It gets 4 stars only because of the Shunting.

This film was WAY ahead of its time, now days the plot of this film is not far from reality.

The entire shunting sequence is so insane, both in conception and execution, that I'm willing to forgive most of the movie's narrative issues.

Thanks Letterboxd for spoiling the entire plot in your summary on the film's page. That said: a lot of very good looking dudes with horrible hair, some very good looking gals with horrible hair, a very horny, sweaty atmosphere, some sexy time, some mystery and paranoia, oh, and one of the most creative and disgusting orgy scenes in the history of cinema! Very dark humor throughout, you can watch this as a comedy.

I don't know how I missed this for all these years, but now that I've eventually caught up with it, wish I hadn't. A real period piece of 1980s kitsch. It is obvious that someone was desperate to make the most of new cine graphics, unfortunately the subject matter chosen was to use it in as gross a way as possible in the final scene. The rest of the film is an incoherent mess.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
