Directed by Brian Yuzna, this body horror satire derides class divisions and social hierarchies in an excess of surreal, grotesque imagery. The tale of a young boy named Bill gradually leads him to suspect that his affluent family and their snobbish friends are somehow connected to some ghastly and depraved rites.

The movie finishes with a jarring "shunting" scene in which the social elites show their true monstrous form.

Society is a film famous for its incredibly gratuitous practical effects, revulsion and imagery that generates discomfort throughout. It is a highly atypical and unforgettable horror movie ever made in that genre.
