Society is the sickest possible movie about the sickness of society

If you’re looking for evidence that the currently dominant mode of horror-as-social-satire wasn’t invented by Get Out, look no further than 1989’s Society. This extraordinary movie, directed by Brian Yuzna, lays out a conspiracy plot about a cabal of rich Beverly Hills socialites who prey on those less fortunate — then literalizes it in an unbelievably grotesque climax that will remain seared into your brain for decades. (I should know, I first saw it in the ’90s.)
