Young Billy feels a certain strangeness enveloping him in his bourgeois suburban neighborhood. A little sleuthing reveals a secret society which thrives on cannibalism, incest, and the ability to do some rather otherworldly things during sex. An interesting and overlooked horror entry with horrifying and memorable makeup effects. [More]

Reviews for Society
Although Society is at first blemished by its dated humor and contrived teenage self-discovery, we find everything is in service to a truly sensational ending.
An attempt to make a different movie. And yes, it's different indeed but different is far from the same thing as good
Dreary suburban drama with a goopy horror finale, Society seems to be about a whole lot of ideas – when in truth it presents one or two pedestrian concepts and then repeats them ad nauseum.
