Call me a weirdo if you want, but I think it'd be cool to have a hot girlfriend
who could mutate and twist and change her body all around in horrible ways. I
mean you could be hittin' it doggystyle then she could move her tits to her back
and her head down by her pussy so she could lick your balls while you're sawing
at it. That'd be awesome...all the way up to the part where she fists me through
the asshole and out the mouth then eats my eyeballs...oh well, maybe on second
though, it wouldn't be that cool after all. Never mind.
From the outside, teenage Bill Whitney looks to have the perfect life: wealthy
family that lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills, high school basketball hero,
hot girlfriend and then another hot girl on the side...but something's not quite
right. Bill sees glimpses of freaky stuff (like his sister in the shower with
her breasts on her back), but it can't be real, right? Maybe he's losing
his mind. But then the people that Bill confides in start dying mysteriously. Is
there really something sinister going or he just nuts?!
SOCIETY is a pretty unique film. Even a quarter of a century later it
still has the power to make new viewers go "What the fuck am I watching?" and
laugh. That said, I wish the filmmakers had taken a more serious tone with
the film instead of making the final act silly. The story idea is very
disturbing when you thinking about it, but unfortunately the film comes off more
as a dark comedy instead of a nightmare-inducing brainfuck. Quick pace,
great 80's fashions and cars, mild nudity, fantastic special effects that are
still impressive, good acting, imaginative visuals and story.
Recommended for fans of the weirder side of cinema.
