Arrow Video re-releases Brian Yuzna's SOCIETY in a new Limited Edition Steelbook!


STOP SHUNTING AND GET ARROW'S LIMITED EDITION "SOCIETY" STEELBOOK BEFORE IT'S GONE!

This is the third time Arrow Video has released SOCIETY, and the only thing that sets it apart from the single-disc Special Edition is the packaging. So unless you are a hardcore collector of Steelbook releases, or don't already own this movie, you may just want to let this disc slip on by.

Synopsis: 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 gore 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.
