A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I don't remember much about society, but I do remember some strange and bizarre scenes including an absolutely surreal ending in which an entire bunch of 50 odd people indulge in a cannibalistic orgy! If it sounds strange watching it was even more so. The director and lead actors are all but forgotten today but this film stands the test of time- although not many people know about it. I suggest you give this one a change and see if you can like it.

I remember watching this film in the early 90's while I was well underage of the certification and it stuck with me, occasionally having nightmares about people being pulled inside out. I've watched it many times since and still love the film although I don't have those childish nightmares nowadays. Billy Warlock plays Billy Whitney, a product of the social elite in upper-class Beverley Hills, America. People have been treating him like crap his whole life, like he's not part of the "in-crowd", he slowly starts to get suspicious that not everything is as it seems. Sit back and watch far out 80's horror which despite the visual assault delivers a firm message about class differences which is as relevant today as it was when the film was made. OK, so the acting is a little ham at times, and maybe the OTT gore looks a little dated now but this film still packs a punch and stands out as one of the more random but cult films of the 80's. Incest, cannibalism, comedy, sexual perversions, gore, horror, and shoulderpads. This is a great film, I definitely recommend this if you haven't seen it and like your films nutter than a peanut butter sandwich sprinkled with hazelnuts. Enjoy.

Shunting. I knew not of ye before and wish I could not know not of ye forevermore. Apparently this is a medical term, God save those who have to use it ever again after this film for their jobs.This is a pure blistering B-movie, near perfection for the kind of flick it is. It has a deranged premise, an out in the open and in your face "message"/"theme" whathaveyou that's explored rather than dissected -- ironically through dissections, vivisections and gory surrealism. This is the kind of movie that dares to make your deepest, darkest fears about class, society and social strata an all-too-real horror with taboos of incest, nepotism, murder, and inhuman grotesqueness as both a release -- letting you know your the one that's still human -- and as a call to arms -- thou shall not suffer a witch to live.The ending is a true carnival ride nightmare come to life, bold and shocking. But the lead up to it, while mostly good and serving its purpose, is of the all too low-grade B-movie reality in which stock characters do things and question things, while the audience already knows the answers (it's THAT kind of movie after all) while we wait for the freak show. More atmosphere, mood and mystery would have been nice. And while the main character is likable enough, he's a bit pedestrian and one-note. His impact on Clarissa (who joins him in the end) feels unearned (also pointless since he saves himself).Also what was with Clarissa's mom? I don't get it. Weirdly out of place and making no sense even by this film's loose standards.

This dreadful, sick, evil, pile of junk, revealed in the last stomach churning 30 or so minutes, how the filthy rich see the rest of us in the lower classes.It showed that the boy in the family did not fit into his own families world, that he knew nothing about.And it showed that even the rich are expendable in their own world.I watched the film to the end, wondering how it possible could end, I was hoping for a hole to appear from the floor, and that these awful people would be sucked into hell, but it didn't happen, their son told them what he thought of them, and he walked out the door.Suffice to say that the "Society" are the soulless filthy rich, who enjoy treating the lower classes with utter contempt, something like the Nazis treated the Jews.I cannot possibly give this mess of a film more than 1 star, but in highlighting how the soulless rich feel about the lower classes, I give this film a million stars.The top 10 per cent I believe, hold the mass of wealth, while the rest of us minions take a great delight in a tax cut now and again, thinking we are hoping to join this bunch of rabble we continually pay homage to in our continued pursuit of wealth.The rich are laughing all the way to the bank, and to the devil.
