Brian Yuzna's 1989 horror Society is out on Blu-ray from Arrow Films. Ryan takes a look back at a grotesque satire...
Bill Whitney’s just an ordinary American high school kid. Sure, he may live in a Beverly Hills mansion. He might drive a brand new Jeep to the beach. But deep down, he has the same hang-ups as most teenagers: he distrusts authority, resents his parents, and suspects that he might actually be adopted.
Gradually, however, we suspect that there might be something more to Billy’s paranoid fantasies than raging hormones - his parents really do seem to be up to something sinister - something to do with private parties, naked orgies, and shunting...
"We're just one big happy family... except for a little incest and psychosis"
Society stars Billy Warlock, a young actor fresh from TV shows like Days Of Our Lives. If this were a straight drama,...

Brian Yuzna, a name I am very familiar with. You see Re-Animator is my all time favourite horror film, and Yuzna served as producer and he then went on to direct the two sequels. I have seen a lot of his other films, but one that really flew under the radar was Society.
A friend had brought it to my attention and I looked it up and was surprised to find it was Yuzna’s directorial debut. But the more I read and saw from it, the more I was hesitant to watch it, I thought it perhaps it was too disgusting for me sit through. Crazy for me to say because I can sit through anything; but I built all this up in my head. I then made the decision to grow a pair and watch it for my 31 days, no backing out if it was on the list.
