FILM 1129: SOCIETY
TRIVIA: Directorial debut of Brian Yuzna.
While shooting the infamous
"shunting" scenes, Brian Yuzna
would put a sign on the sound stage door that read "Abandon all hope ye
who enter here".
Brian Yuzna cited The Spiral Staircase
(1945) and Rosemary's
Baby (1968) as the film's biggest influences, particularly in terms
of paranoia as a major element.
The title track is "The Eton
Boating Song", the school song for prestigious Eton College.
The scene where Billy sees Jenny's
body distort in the shower was added during the production because director Brian Yuzna felt another
shocking scene was needed earlier in the film.
The paintings of Salvador Dalí were a
significant influence upon the creature designs of Screaming Mad George.
