Well worth the journey this one takes you on, super 80s slow burn grotesque madness. With flourishes of psychological drama to keep things elevated, packed with a satirical edge this thing is truly well rounded. Ticks a lot of boxes for me with all those things in mind.

Though never quite the profound social commentary that it thinks it is, this is still a highly enjoyable & unique social satire that takes the "rich eating the poor" idea to a very literal extreme. Graphic as can be & packed with gruesome effects, it almost plays out like a comedy in parts because of just how over the top it is- not that that's a bad thing. Unfortunately, the writing isn't great, & the characters are all pretty flat. But, it's worth a look for being so damn weird.

Under Quarantine F̶i̶l̶m̶ Gore Reviews #58: The satire is really on the nose and it plods along at a glacial pace the first hour but it simmers to an absolute boil with an outrageous climax. Seriously, I might need a shower after what I've just witnessed.

Naively I figured I was prepared for the finale sequence after being tipped off to its bizarre WTF nature, but ooh dear, was I wrong. The first half of the film is a wonky coming-of-age/mystery and takes some time getting into a groove, but by then it really sets the bizarre dream-like, over-the-top, campy tone for the insanely WTF squishy orgy finale. Definitely worth a watch for body horror fans, if not only for the unforgettable finale.

This would have been an entirely forgettable movie if not for Screaming Mad George salvaging it all in the final act. The effects at the end were unbelievable, and made for easily one of the most insane, bizarre things I've ever seen in my life.

The plot's mystery was enough to guide me to the film's conclusion, but not enthralling. The tone was more lighthearted than I was expecting, especially in the end, but it was consistent. Some characters felt unneeded, such as Clarissa's mom. The real star is the practical effects and final act. The silly tone in the end confirmed it was intended to be camp, but it was distracting because the setup and visuals implied something more creepy and edgy than cartoony. Glad I watched but just OK.

The first two acts flounder along, setting up some minor tension but mostly failing to string together the necessary elements to make a competent thriller. The final act does more than make up for the film's previous deficiencies.

Quintessential '80s body horror film, wonderfully interweaving its obvious yet appropriate and consistent social metaphors, well-paced build-up, and bonkers display of grimy bodily effects -- it really all is proof why films were invented.

Society pulls a crazy rope-a-dope with two thirds of a teen-sex-drama followed by psychotic finale shot in an unforgettable pink hue. The plodding paranoia mixed with with some biting humor pays off with satire in the likes of Cronenberg. The most literal use of "butthead" there can be.

Some fairly interesting ideas are somewhat short-changed by writing that's occasionally weak and that jars the ear. The jokes are also very dated, as are the effects, but I'm not going to hold that against it. For what it is Society is OK and definitely worth a look, if only for the ending, which isn't bad at all.

The kitschy b-level satire of high-society floats along nicely at first, but your initial suspicion is that there really isn't much to see here, this ain't a classic, move along, folks. Well, you're wrong. The third act, like a monstrous anal prolapse, pulls itself inside out and reveals its unhinged contempt for the upper class in a way no other movie probably ever will again. A fine documentary on the Trumps.

While the finale is where the true payoff in this lies, the first 2 acts really do maintain a tense, dreamlike feel that manages to get under the skin.

The story is unfocused and progresses too slowly, but the stomach-turning finale (when it finally comes) is worth the wait, and makes the film a must-see for any fan of practical special effects. Baywatch's Billy Warlock is surprisingly decent as the hero too.

Not a great satire and the first 2/3rds move along with the dull romantic and conspiracy plots but it's so indulgent and grotesque at the end it might be worth watching anyway.
