REALLY. After producing Stuart Gordon's hit Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna (Bride of Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead III) turned his hand to directing with 1989's Society, and gave birth to one of the ickiest, most original body horror shockers of all time. Teenager Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) has always felt like the odd one out in his wealthy, upper-class Beverly Hills family. For some reason, he just doesn't seem to fit in. But his sense of alienation takes a sinister turn when he hears an audio recording of his sister's coming-out party, which seems to implicate his family and others in a bizarre, ritualistic orgy. And then there are the strange things he's been seeing - glimpses of people with their bodies contorted impossibly out of shape... Is Bill going mad or is there something seriously amiss in his neighborhood? Packing stomach-churning grue and thought-provoking social commentary in equal measure, Society is a biting horror satire which culminates in one of the most gag-inducing "climaxes"' in all of horror history.

One of Arrow Video's first dual releases in both the UK and the USA, this is a superb presentation that demands a purchase. --DoBlu.com Review: We're just one big happy family-- except for a little incest and psychosis. - So, I had heard of this movie a long time ago but by then the original DVD of it had long since gone out of print and the only copies I could find of it were on video-tape-- and to top it off it was that weird point in history where we'd all accepted DVDs as our sole home video format and many of us, myself included, had let our VCRs fall into disrepair. That said, I didn't get to see this wonderful little film until it was delivered to my mailbox. "Society," is a rare breed of two film genres: political and horror. Think along the lines of "Bob Roberts" meets "Videodrome." A strange combination, but this weird blend creates a unique vision from legendary horror producer Brian Yuzna taking the director's chair for this film. I'd give a synopsis of the plot, but if you're reading this review, chances are you already know what it's about, so I'm going to talk about the product itself and what it offers. It comes in a very large digipak, which is nice to see-- it's wide-- and I mean WIDE for a Blu-Ray digipak. My "Trilogy of Life" Blu-Ray digipak from Criterion isn't as thick as this and it has some very deluxe three dimensional packaging. Inside is the digibook itself containing a Blu-Ray and identical DVD of the film and special features, there's also a miniature poster for the movie, a retrospective pamphlet and some advertisements for similar films, so that's nice to have. In addition to all of that is a small "perfect bound" comic book called "Society 2: Party Animal," which acts as a sequel to the film (because let's face it, the ending of the movie does make you go: 'Wait, what?'), I haven't read it yet, but it seems to be pretty solid in terms of art direction, but I'm not a big graphic novel aficionado so I can't tell you too much about it. The special features are plentiful, including a 15 minute retrospective with Brian Yuzna, a 20 minute look back with some of the actors, a 20 minute interview with "Mad George" who did the makeup effects in the movie and a music video that he helped make using similar special effects to those seen in "Society," and a Q&A with Brian Yuzna after a 2014 screening of the film. There's also a backstage interview with him (Yuzna) from the film's 1989 premiere and of course, what collector's edition would be complete without an audio commentary from the filmmaker himself? So that's all there. Like I said, the movie is good. I really liked it. It's certainly not for everybody-- if you're wigged out by sex and violence this movie sort of combines them into a singular entity. I also want to add that the lead actor, Billy Warlock sounds exactly like Michael J. Fox in "Back to the Future" when he talks. I'm serious! Close your eyes and listen to him talk in the movie and tell me you don't see Marty McFly! Review: Flawed Gem of a Movie - Perfectly Disturbing - This movie was probably the most unnerving movie I've ever sat all the way through. It's not perfect but it's still a gem of body horror and tension in my eyes. Let me preface this by saying I tend not to watch a lot of horror movies (or play horror games for that matter) because so many have jump-scares which just make me feel anxious, which is why I usually stick to horror comics and books. This movie made me deeply uncomfortable multiple times to the point where I had to pause throughout it on first viewing. Not just because of the subject matter and visuals as the movie goes on, but because of the fantastic way that tension riddles the movie due to the way it's shot. It was more uncomfortable and scary with ZERO jumpscares than any other horror movies I've seen. I seriously had to pause for several minutes after the ending to process. I'm personally avoiding spoilers because this a movie that's best to go into completely blind. I heard good things about it from the guys at RedLetterMedia on YouTube and went in without spoilers, and it was for the best. Of course the movie isn't perfect, the characters can make some stupid decisions and the acting is spotty (some scenes were pretty good, some... not so much). But this is one of the few movies where I didn't find myself paying attention to it much because the tension and unfolding story were enough to keep me on the edge of my seat and intrigued. So not 5/5 as a perfect movie, but 5/5 for the overall experience. Never been so captivated by a horror film in a manner where I wanted to stop watching because I was uncomfortable but couldn't stop because I had to see what it was building up to. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ZPHGVOC | | Actors | Billy Warlock, Devin Devasquez, Evan Richards | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,881 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #3,370 in Horror (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (826) | | Director | Brian Yuzna | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 19 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | September 8, 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 39 minutes | | Studio | Arrow Video | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Billy Warlock, Brian Yuzna, Devin Devasquez, Evan Richards - **Format:** Blu-ray, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Horror - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 39 minutes ## Images ![Society (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512+VqPxXFL.jpg) ![Society (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JFcER+kbL.jpg) ![Society (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VdrjlQaNL.jpg) ![Society (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PYi87qtYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We're just one big happy family-- except for a little incest and psychosis. *by T***T on June 20, 2015* So, I had heard of this movie a long time ago but by then the original DVD of it had long since gone out of print and the only copies I could find of it were on video-tape-- and to top it off it was that weird point in history where we'd all accepted DVDs as our sole home video format and many of us, myself included, had let our VCRs fall into disrepair.

It's not perfect but it's still a gem of body horror and tension in my eyes.

A Classic Horror Gem Given a Proper Release. That Comic Though... *by F***E on July 8, 2015* Awesome movie; awesome set. This is a great set that bests the used DVD copies people have been trying to sell upwards of $100. The movie itself was ahead of its time with a lot of themes and the imagery sticks with you for days. The Shunt remains one of the most gloriously revolting finales out there and the extras which feature Screaming Mad George and his practical creations are just groovy. My only issue is that the graphic novel which comes with the movie (and is the literary sequel to Society) isn't that good due to a lot of grossly overlooked typos and poorly drawn/confusing imagery which makes reading it rather annoying. It's a decent idea for a sequel (mainly how it ends), but it also seems to try and shock with a late-game reveal for no other reason other than to try and compete with its cinematic brethren--which it really doesn't and is actually kind of unsatisfying. Even still, this is a classic horror film and a wholly worthwhile set to invest in. I love what Arrow Video's done in reviving it and the limited edition box set is and should be an instant-buy for anyone even slightly interested. ## Frequently Bought Together - Society (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD] - The Stuff - Re-Animator (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/21164076-society-2-disc-special-edition-blu-ray-dvd](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/21164076-society-2-disc-special-edition-blu-ray-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
