I love this film. But everyone I show it to hates it.
Kittipob Glanarongran –
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.

and now we'll get to the bottom of this ↪
fuzzy_pickles –
what a strange mood in this movie, till the end, which is insane.
Hayden Garin –
I watched this with my lady about a year ago . The last 30 minutes or so 🤢🤮🤮 she still hasn’t forgiven me .
Thomas Zizzo –
Brian Yunza's enduring masterpiece isn't saying much… but I really do love this movie
The Tired Horizon –
I was 13 when I watched this taped off the TV. Wasnt until a few years ago when I started to wonder if the script was related to the stories told about Holywood elite (eg Cory Haim, Weinstein)

CACCA DI MIELE –
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.
Lars Sandnes –
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.
Chris shak –
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.
Garry Baldy –
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.
Rage Against My Hairline –
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.
Harjinder Saini –
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
Falbert Forester –
I really don't care for horror films, but Mark, you've almost got me interested enough to watch this one.
Capgungoesbang –
Very relevant! This is essential viewing, in my opinion.
Kirk R –
It's an ok film but I think you're overstating it a little. Maybe I should see it again.
Simon Bird –
This film is long overdue the recognition it deserves
