Society (1989) is a movie that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a young man who notices his family and siblings are odd, more odd than usual. He also feels his girlfriend is acting peculiar and is obsessed with attending a socially elite party. As events of the upcoming weekend unfold the young man investigates the party where he finds his parents, his girlfriend and so many others he grew up with have a strange secret that may mean the end of his existence.
This movie is directed by Brian Yuzna (Beyond Reanimator) and stars Billy Warlock (Halloween II), Evan Richards (Twilight Zone: The Movie), Patrice Jennings (Growing Pains), Brian Bremer (Pumpkinhead) and Heidi Kozak Haddad (Slumber Party Massacre).
There's a lot to like about this movie...and most of it is at the very end. The apple opening was a bit gross. The acting and writing is average to above average until the final sequence. Then the special effects, concept and circumstances come full circle and it's a mix of shocking, tremendous gore and unreal circumstances you could never imagine. There's some classic 80s nudity and the "There's no business like show business" line always cracks me up. I may have said this already...but the ending is a lot. 😂
Overall, this is an underrated classic within the horror genre that is an absolutely must see. I would score this an 8.5-9/10 and strongly recommend it.
