GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
ryan-10075 A wonderful little horror flick and directorial debut from Brian Yuzna (who had produced Re-Animator and From Beyond by this point). It really is the subject matter and its delivery that make this film so great.Bill Whitney (basketball star and great debater) played by Billy Warlock is seeing a shrink, because he has these thoughts and visions about his family and believes something's amiss. We the viewer are with Bill on his journey unlocking the mysteries of this secret society. Right to the end involving some wonderful old school effects from Screaming Mad George (love that name!) which are pretty cool.Looking on imdb I see screenwriters Rick Fry and Woody Keith also co-wrote Yuzna's Bride of the Re-Animator as well.Highly recommended and if you do check it out hopefully you will not be displeased by this 1989 horror flick.
robertsrebecca-76703 I don't remember much about society, but I do remember some strange and bizarre scenes including an absolutely surreal ending in which an entire bunch of 50 odd people indulge in a cannibalistic orgy! If it sounds strange watching it was even more so. The director and lead actors are all but forgotten today but this film stands the test of time- although not many people know about it. I suggest you give this one a change and see if you can like it.
RevRonster I had never seen this cult classic until recently and, I have to say, I'm glad I saw it now because I don't know if I would have appreciated it when it came out.The film is incredibly dumb but that's part of why it is fun to watch. From a story, acting, character and editing standpoint, the film is painful to sit through because the story is really sloppy, the acting is really cheesy, the characters are terribly crafted and the editing is choppy but the film contains one of the best final acts I've ever seen in a body horror film. The final moments of the film are equal parts insane, scary and hilarious. The thing that makes this insanity that much more amusing and entertaining is the fact that the make-up effects that are within the final act are crazy good and very impressive. Sure, the film handles their metaphors and themes during this section of the film with all the grace of a 300 lbs. ballerina with vertigo but it doesn't stop this part from being the delicious icing on an otherwise forgettable cake. This film is overwhelming dumb but mightily entertaining for numerous reasons!
michael thompson This dreadful, sick, evil, pile of junk, revealed in the last stomach churning 30 or so minutes, how the filthy rich see the rest of us in the lower classes.It showed that the boy in the family did not fit into his own families world, that he knew nothing about.And it showed that even the rich are expendable in their own world.I watched the film to the end, wondering how it possible could end, I was hoping for a hole to appear from the floor, and that these awful people would be sucked into hell, but it didn't happen, their son told them what he thought of them, and he walked out the door.Suffice to say that the "Society" are the soulless filthy rich, who enjoy treating the lower classes with utter contempt, something like the Nazis treated the Jews.I cannot possibly give this mess of a film more than 1 star, but in highlighting how the soulless rich feel about the lower classes, I give this film a million stars.The top 10 per cent I believe, hold the mass of wealth, while the rest of us minions take a great delight in a tax cut now and again, thinking we are hoping to join this bunch of rabble we continually pay homage to in our continued pursuit of wealth.The rich are laughing all the way to the bank, and to the devil.
