15 Obscure Horror Films You Need To See

15. Society

For just over an hour, Society is an oddity; a low budget creep fest, which is essentially build up - but to what? It's safe to say audiences that watched this curiosity in 1989 had no idea what the film's final third beheld. Probably for the best.

Even for those in the know about this cult classic, the finale is a shocker, where an Invasion Of The Body Snatchers plot explodes into a grim body horror orgy, a writhing mess of heads emerging from asses and hands tearing through bodies like they are two week-old jello. Dubbed the "shunting," this beauty of a scene ranks up there with one of the most shocking ever committed to celluloid, without the need of spilling any blood. Figure that out.

Director Brian Yuzna would go on to voice regret that his debut tanked stateside, but thanks to a decent run in the UK, the film has hovered on horror fans' radars and continues to grow in relevance as the decades pass.
