Society (1989)

In ALL fairness, this movie is NOT for everyone

It is OUTRIGHT... WEIRD!!!!!!

Supposedly this movie was finished in 1989 and was never release to the general public until 1992 (rating issue perhaps).

I had never watching it in the 90s (initial release) and had only watched it is the past few days.

Now this movie is 80s to the MAX

The clothing.

The hairstyle.

The... plot line.

The protagonist is William "Bill" Whitney (played by Billy Warlock) has it all.

He is young, good looking, popular in high school (he is running for school president) but Bill has an issue.

He feels... "alienated" from his family.

So he seek consultation from a therapist, who informs him that the feeling is all, in his own perception.

So he goes on with his life until his sister's ex boyfriend who had been stalking his sister, since their break up, played to Billy a recording of his sister and they parents doing... the unmentionable...

Billy investigates and...

And in the end we see... "the shunting".

I am NOT even going to attempt to describe it to you.

Let's just say that once you see it, you cannot possible unsee it...

So, to cap up, the antagonist in this movie... is upper society???

Again, I warn you, this movie is NOT for everyone

You  have been warn kiddies. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

My Two Sen

Wow...the way u described it is very intriguing. Definitely gonna catch it by tomorrow

You've been warned kiddie.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

As long as it's not overhyped, under-delivered film wokey then. Or are u referring to it's brutality?

....Weirdness... And I have seen pretty weird stuff before this... And have to add, I did not hype this in ANY way...

Tooth Fairy

In Northern Europe, there was a tradition of tand-fé or tooth fee, which was paid when a child lost their first tooth. This tradition is recorded in writings as early as the Eddas (c. 1200), which are the earliest written record of Norse and Northern European traditions.

The reward left varies by country, the family's economic status, amounts the child's peers report receiving and other factors. A 2013 survey by Visa Inc. found that American children receive $3.70 per tooth on average. According to the same survey, only 3% of children find a dollar or less and 8% find a five-dollar bill or more under their pillow.

During the Middle Ages, other superstitions arose surrounding children's teeth. In England, for example, children were instructed to burn their baby teeth in order to save the child from hardship in the afterlife. Children who did not consign their baby teeth to the fire would spend eternity searching for them in the afterlife. The Vikings, it is said, paid children for their teeth. In the Norse culture, children's teeth and other articles belonging to children were said to bring good luck in battle, and Scandinavian warriors hung children's teeth on a string around their necks. Fear of witches was another reason to bury or burn teeth. In medieval Europe, it was thought that if a witch were to get hold of one's teeth, it could lead to them having total power over them.

Hi People

I am starting s forum to discuss horror movies.

Please share what you like or don't

I'm starting of with a list (not in any particular order) of "horror" movie which I personally like and a short description of why

Eye, The (見鬼) 2002
One of the more original horror story, and from Asia

Mr. Vampire (殭屍先生) 1985
Ah this really brings back memories. I've bought this is SO many formats, it is NOT funny. Interesting that the director was SO over budget, they at the end he had to BEG for more money from the company boss (Sumo Hung). It cost 8 million HK dollars to make, and that was UNHEARD of then. The director's uncle were actually a taoist priest, and the movie were base on an accumulation of stories his uncle told him when he was young!

Nang Nak 1999
There were scenes in this movie, that still gives me goose pimples...

An American Werewolf in London 1981
Ah, the good old 80s. Was a shock when it first came out. Also inspired Michael Jackson's (may he rest in peace) Thriller MTV. And launch John Landis career as a director. Be warn, a little racy...

Cujo 1983
Ah. Again a rare Stephen King adaption I like (another is Needful Things, which I started a forum which nobody added to!!). Very well filmed movie. After this movie, the "kid" went on to star in a sitcom called Who's the Boss. Have to say, the kid stole the show.

Diary of the Dead 2007
Nice to know how people reacted in the first few hours of George A Romero's zombie story.

Dracula 2000
I don't know why I like this. I just do. Maybe how in a round about way it linked to the bible... hmmm

Final Destination
And the fourth one coming out soon would probably introduce new audience to this series. Still like the first one best.

Thir13en Ghosts 2001
Robert Zemecski and Joe Silver, reintroduce old horror movie in new light. They were suppose to make one every year but had stop after Gothika... Like the little stories they created for each ghost.

Fright Night 1996
A silly like vampire movie, which I like

From Dusk Till Dawn 1996
This is actually two movies, first part VERY Quentin Tarantino and the second Robert Rodriguez. Too bad the two had a fall out after Grindhouse movie.

From Hell 2001
Johnny Depp in another dark tale. Interesting how he started his career in Nightmare on Elm Street! A modern take on Jack the Ripper.

House on Haunted Hill 1999
The first of the supposed many from Robert Zemecski and Joe Silver collaboration. Well executed.

The Howling 1981
1981 was the year of the wolf. This year produce two excellent werewolf movie. This and An American Werewolf in London.

Joy Ride 2001
Creepy truck driver... Nuff said

Jeepers Creepers 2001
Now you know why Justin Long is in Drag Me to Hell, he was good in this one as well

Land of the Dead 2005
George A. Romero return to the Zombie genre. Horray!

Needful Things 1993
I like this movie about Satan. but apparently no one else apart from me had watched it. Watched and like it I suppose

Poltergeist 1982
A Steven "wunderkind" Spielberg dipped his toe into the horror genre

The Shining 1980
Brings new meaning to the term, Honey! I'm home!! "Redrum, REDRUM!!"

Slither 2006
I was horrified and rolled on the floor laughing as the same time. REALLY!!

Sleepy Hollow 1999
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. What else does one has to say? Still think that his Jack Sparrow character is a hypebole if his Ichabod Crane character!!

Stir of Echoes 1999
To bad in came in the wake of The Six Sense....

Wrong Turn 2003
One of the last few things Stan Winston worked on. I miss that guy...

Vampires 1998
Really good vampire movie. Trust me on this

There you have it ladies and gentlemen

Feel free to write

Top 3 from me, all of them released in 2020! 



1. Becky - A teenager's weekend at a lake house with her father takes a turn for the worse when a group of convicts wreaks havoc on their lives.
Totally enjoyed this one!


2. The Invisible Man -When Cecilia's abusive ex takes his own life and leaves her his fortune, she suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of coincidences turn lethal, Cecilia works to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
It is a good movie and worth the watch!


3. Brahms: The Boy II - After a family moves into the Heelshire Mansion, their young son soon makes friends with a life-like doll called Brahms.
Low budget but great.
