NEWS: SOCIETY SQUIRMS ON TO DVD & BLU-RAY


Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the UK Blu-ray and DVD release of the sordidly satirical 1989 body-horror shocker Society, arriving on 8th June. One of 2015’s most talked about Arrow Video releases, Society makes its Blu-ray debut in the UK as an exclusive digipak featuring Blu-ray, DVD and Society: Party Animal, the official comic book sequel. This exclusive set will be limited to a run of only 3000 copies only and comes with a full colour 24-page booklet, alongside a host of bonus features.

We first brought you news of this release back in February, and though the release date has been pushed back to June, we're sure you'll agree it is definitely worth the wait. This director-approved digipak comes loaded with exclusive features including a brand new audio commentary by director Brian Yuzna, alongside a new interview with the director and a filmed 2014 Q&A with Yuzna, recorded at Celluloid Screams Festival.

The bonus content will also include brand new featurettes, including interviews with stars Billy Warlock, Devin DeVasquez, Ben Meyerson and Tim Bartell and interviews with FX artists Screaming Mad George, David Grasso and Nick Benson. Alongside this, the disc will also feature Brian Yuzna in conversation backstage at the Society world premiere and a Screaming Mad George music video.
