The shot of Clarissa contorted in bed was achieved using Devin DeVasquez and one of DeVasquez's friends, who was buried under the covers with her legs exposed. The two were placed at such an angle that it appears to be Clarissa's body twisted in a strange position.

Weirdos and Incest

More off-the-wall incest junk, this one from Brian Yuzna. Everyone in his wealthy social circle in Beverly Hills treats Bill (Billy Warlock) like crap. That's because he ain't been invited in "Society" yet. Needless to say, this society that he's not a part of is f---ed up and involves any amount of strange activities including incest, perversion, secrets, and the infamous "feeding" scene.

Lovers of bizarre cinema will get a kick out of this one and the body horror special effects by Scremin' Mad George are money (but semi-crude)for the most part. I borrowed this one but thought enough to buy myself a copy. 7/10.
