Mark Kermode reviews Society (1989) | BFI Player

[SimonBirdMusic]

This film is long overdue the recognition it deserves

[The-Wolf-Named-Mike-Dawson]

This film disturbed me to no end but was also hypnotic. The last 30 minutes were like WTF !!! And I just had to keep watching to the end

[rageagainstmyhairline]

I watched it when I was 11 years old. Needless to say, it didn't have quite the same visceral impact when I re-watched it at 38. I did appreciate the allegory, gags, and sinister vibe a wee bit more as an adult, though. Great horror film. Up there with Naked Lunch and Videodrome as one of my favourite surreal horror films.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Yuzna at a film festival where he screened an orginial print of Re-Animator as well as Society. Great stuff.

[Capgungoesbang]

Very relevant! This is essential viewing, in my opinion.

[eyeseer]

Hard to believe this movie was released by the same producers of ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ in 1989.

[xFuzzyxPicklesx]

what a strange mood in this movie, till the end, which is insane.

[FalbertForester]

I really don't care for horror films, but Mark, you've almost got me interested enough to watch this one.

[Kaiyanwang]

Double feature it with They Live, folks!

[selmaunsley]

This would make a good companion piece With get out imo

[kittipobglanarongran]

This movie is the horror and comedy film. The Group Monster in Bevery Hill. Billy he was tried to find something in his family and neighborhood.

[chrisshak]

Because of what it means...the endless double-meanings satire on almost all of humanity and almost all societies in the world this rivals Citizen Kane and The Godfather. This could be my favourite film of all time.

[adampeters]

I love this film. But everyone I show it to hates it.

I was about 12 or 13 and it was on Sky. Not really knowing what it was about the party scene at the end scared the hell out of me 😮

[tzizzo]

Brian Yunza's enduring masterpiece isn't saying much... but I really do love this movie

[Slowdived]

and now we'll get to the bottom of this ↪

[haydengarinduchesne]

I watched this with my lady about a year ago . The last 30 minutes or so 🤢🤮🤮 she still hasn’t forgiven me .

[kirkr]

It's an ok film but I think you're overstating it a little. Maybe I should see it again.

[caccadimiele]

this need a remake now. I know the horror movie today are not like this anymore but...this is gonna be rebaked...maybe Tim Burton would do it.

[garrybaldy]

It's not a bloody masterpiece, Mark. Unless you're saying it's Brian Yuzna's masterpiece, which isn't saying much. It's certainly no Re-Animator.
