Society doesn't is not content simply crushing your amygdala, it wants to twist the nightmare on all psychosexual levels. [Full review in Spanish]

A must watch for any body horror fans who haven’t ventured beyond Cronenberg or The Thing and a fun horror comedy for anyone who likes to laugh while they’re scared and/or...disgusted.

4/4

If you want to watch a gross horror movie in the finest cinematic satirical tradition, stretching from "They Live" to "The Substance," I highly recommend "Society."

Society is probably one of the most well known body horror movies because of the last 30 minutes. If you want goopy eighties body horror, this is your movie, but be advised that you can probably skip the first hour.

3.5/5

One of those alarming accomplishments that simply has to be seen to be believed, Brian Yuzna's inspired Society is biting social satire

6/10

Having worked on several "body horror" pictures leading up to this directorial debut, Yuzna handles himself admirably in a hilariously grotesque blend of comedy and scares.

A perfect cinematic response to Reagan’s America.

There's too much going on, and none of it is comprehensible. The film's message, which is a satire critiquing class division and the wealthy elite, comes through, but the highly exaggerated method of telling it was a grotesque mess.

I just always assumed that this is a fairly accurate depiction of what upper-class society is really like behind closed doors. Slimy mutant murder orgies at huge Beverly Hills mansion parties. Seems believable to me!

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
