Bill (Billy Warlock) has always felt different from everyone else, the Beverly Hills high society he has grown up in, his wealthy parents, his perfect girlfriend (Heidi Kozak), the squeaky clean school he goes to ... but nobody takes him seriously, the best thing his parents do is to send him to a shrink (Ben Slack), who does the best to tell him that he's just paranoid. Bill knows better - and of all people, the ex (Tim Bartell) of his sister (Patrice Jennings) seems to have a tape that proves there's actually something wrong with Bill's parents and sister ... but then the guy gets killed, and the tape suddenly plays another tune.

Bill is soon invited to Ferguson's (Ben Meyerson) party, the biggest in town as Ferguson is the school's up-and-comer, the future center of society ... and of course a major asshole who Bill gets in a fight with - despite the fact that he's pretty sure Ferguson sleeps with his sister. But somehow, Bill gets quite friendly with one of Ferguson's beauties, Clarissa (Devin DeVasquez), and even though on the outside she seems to be nothing but a society slut, she does soon develop feelings for Bill as well.

Another lead Bill follows up on leads to a dead body, and when he later returns home, he's dragged off to the hospital where he's declared dead - even if nothing could be further from the truth. With the help of his best buddy (Evan Richards), Bill ultimately crashes a society party at his folks' house, planning to expose everything - but by no means was he prepared for the grotesquerie he finds there, and what's worse, he's supposed to be part of it ...

Society is most certainly one of the most underappreciated horror satires of its age, something akin to the rabid brother of Heathers: In a way, it's a grotesque parody of series like Beverly Hills 90210 - which was of course at that time still in the future -, a trip to teenage lifestyle of the rich and famous, but with an emphasis on teenage angst, and culminating in the absurd. Stylistically, the film is of course pure 1980s - and the (somewhat off and overly artificial) looks and fashion of that decade only work to heighten the effect of alienation of the main character, and while for most of the build-up the film's very subtle, the almost surreal finale surely packs a bunch. And with all this carried by a intelligent and darkly humourous script, you can be sure you'll be entertained!
