Official Synopsis (American Genre Film Archive):
After producing Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna turned his hand to directing with Society - 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. 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 in a bizarre, ritualistic orgy. Packing stomach-churning gore courtesy of Screaming Mad George (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and thought-provoking social commentary in equal measure, Society is a biting satire that culminates in the most gag-inducing “climax” in all of horror history.
