For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up, by popular demand, is the legendary splatter-horror film Society (1989), concerning a deranged sex-cult of the rich and powerful who literally eat the poor. A young man discovers his parents are part of the cult, and things go downhill from there. Think of it as the B-movie version of Eyes Wide Shut (1999), to which reviews invariably compare it. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director Brian Yuzna, who has otherwise made mostly sequels to other people’s horror films, such as Bride of the Re-Animator (1990). Warning! Warning! A whole lot of blood, gore, and sex in this, including a scene of group sexual assault against the protagonist. Do not watch if hard-R horror does not appeal to you.
After that is The Hitcher (1986), a well-regarded action-thriller about a guy who picks up a hitchhiker (played by Rutger Hauer) in the middle of the night on a secluded road for some company. Whoops! Big mistake. The hitcher is a complete psychopath who draws the protagonist into a sadistic cat-and-mouse game. This is by far the best-known and best-regarded film of one-hit-wonder director Robert Harmon. Looks cool; let’s watch.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
