Society/Spontaneous Combustion 2003 Horror Movie Review

Two campy movies about people in power and the control they exert.  In each, one character slips out of control so the movies have a common theme even if they seem completely different.


In the first movie, a high-school student feels he does not fit in with his rich family and their associates.  His fears combine with suspicions from others not in favor and a horrifying picture begins to emerge.  Finally his safety is in jeopardy and he challenges the horrific Society.


In the second movie we have a man who was born after a nuclear test designed to immunize people against radiation.  He knows nothing of his past, only that suddenly people around him are being burned to death.  His fears and concerns drive him to uncover his past and the lengths others have gone to in order to control all aspects of his life.  Unfortunately the film ends rather suddenly.


Although billed as a Drive-In Double Feature, each movie occupies a different side of a single disk so you can’t just sit back and watch them both without flipping the disk.  Each movie is accompanied by its trailer and a commentary.  Picture quality is good and some of the acting is quite good even with some of the horrible lines.  All in all just what you would expect from a pair of Drive-In horror movies.
