Upper class deplorables are feeding (literally) on everyone else in this sadistically psychosexual goo fest which involves a Beverly Hills teen discovering his parents are part of a gruesome orgy cult for the social elite. Works very well at displaying the golden age of grotesque (the 80’s) and Shunting has never been as glamorous as its depicted here.
Society is a pretty good 80’s teen sex romp/mystery film for 2/3rds of its runtime until it goes all the way in its spectacular final act, ing into the threshold of greatness as surrealistic gore wizard Screaming Mad George dazzles us with orgasmic depictions of pinkly lit depravity.
A must watch, and possibly Yuzna’s finest hour as a director.
