Movie 72 min

Documentary

It’s one of the most controversial, influential and groundbreaking horror satires of the 1980s. Brian Yuzna’s SOCIETY told a terrifying, surreal story about what the rich were doing to the poor in shocking, sexual detail. But did you know it was based on truth and took inspiration from the satanic ritual abuse carried out by the Beverly Hills elite Keith family? Or that son Woody Keith changed his name to Zeph E. Daniel and co-scripted SOCIETY to exorcize the demons from his violent youth? This is the full, appalling story of how Daniel’s autobiography became a classic chiller for the ages.
