Society (1989)

What to Expect

Society It’s about a young man's life in Beverly Hills who is starting to feel like he doesn't belong. In Beverly Hills, California, at the peak end of the grabby-greedy ‘80s, Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) enjoys the privileges of an upper-class, worry-free life. So why is he so worried? He has a therapist to share his free-floating, unfocused anxiety with, and he’s surrounded by a social validation network. That includes hot girlfriend Clarissa Carlyn (Playboy model Devin DeVasquez), a replacement for the even-shallower Barbie doll who dumps Billy literally because he doesn’t have enough social clout. But a friend-of-a-friend plays him a tape of the things Billy’s family says behind his back, and later of a party for the elite, which sounds like an orgy in Hell. As Billy wends his way through solving the mystery, he’s drawn to the center of a web of intrigue that leads to disgusting, shocking realizations.

Critic Reviews:

Society is not quite a masterpiece, but it’s definitely among the best stuff Yuzna actually directed.

– Oh, The Horror!

Its B-movie overtones and distrust of America’s elites puts it in similar territory to Carpenter’s They Live.

– Den of Geek

If you are a coinsure of the strange and the weird this “Society” qualifies. If you like dark films form 80’s with a twisted sense of humor and some nice gore this is for you.
