[Society](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0098354) Starring : Billy Warlock, Devin Devasquez + Others Director : Brian Yuzna (of Re-Animator fame) Billy (Billy Warlock) seems to have everything. He lives in a beautiful mansion with his beautiful family (Mum, Dad and Sister) and is popular and successful at school. He is not happy though; he has a nagging feeling that he is somehow different from his family. A high school friend, Blanchard, also senses that something is not quite right so sets off to investigate. What follows is about an hour of not-too-mysterious mystery as Billy uncovers the dark secrets his family his hiding. Then all hell breaks loose as Billy confronts his family & others at a large ball being held in his house. Billy witnesses what is about to happen to him and tries to escape. The delightfully named **Screaming Mad George** has constructed the most bizzare, surreal and plain wierd finale to a movie which in some ways it could be described as a living Dali painting. Shot on a low budget and using latex style effects this is one of the finest example of a very, very darkly comic horror/mystery film. Don’t expect lots of polished digital effects 'cause they aren’t there, just lots of highly imaginative uses for latex 😃 It also includes one of my favorite lines in a movie; “I’m not paranoid, all my fears are real”. Quite wonderful when seen in context. Overall score : 10/10 if you like wierd movies, 2/10 if you don’t.
