tonight's feature: Society (1989) on Shudder
(SPOILERS?) Society is the cult classic 80s horror film that probably haunted your dreams as a kid, unless you were one of those weirdo kids into the sickest horror imaginable. Lucky for me, I waited 33 years to finally check it out and I'm feeling pretty good about it because it's a double nutted, body horror, freak show mind-warp .
The film is divided into two main parts: part one, the majority of the movie, where an annoying troubled teen (played by Billy Warlock, soap opera star and son of stuntman Dick Warlock who played Michael Myers in Halloween II) struggles with his family and pretty much everyone else as a dumpy script barely scrapes along with more WTF?s and HUH?s than your average Hollywood crap fest. Then part two, the big reveal where all the rich, stupid assholes in his life (including his parents and sister) turn out to be body-morphing, sex-crazed aliens and they all get half naked, wet and sloppy deformed to slurp the life juices out of his body in a big nasty orgy.
Once you've seen it, you'll never forget it, but you may regret it. Bonus points for completely random, pointless characters like the bizarro giant punk rock lady who eats human hair for no reason. Still sad Michael J Fox wasn't in this. 6 bullies turned inside out out of 10, but only because the end was so shockingly disturbing.
