Society (1989)

A wonderfully grotesque allegory wrapped in a B-Movie skin that achieved classic status for one very good reason: because it deserves it.
The acting of the supporting cast pendulums from creepy to crappy throughout, and the camera-work occasionally stumbles over first year film school hurdles, but it’s forgiveable because the message is handled perfectly.
It takes longer than I remembered to hit the high numbers on the ick scale, but when it does get there it’s hilariously perverted.
Society is a film for all the people that at some point in their life have felt like they just didn't fit in with their peers.
