I'm not really keen at all on Yuzna films. They tend to lack in, well, everything. Plot, character development, style, script.
Society, on the other hand, is almost a decent film. It's very cheesy and very 80's. The directing is lacklustre and the script is poor. But, the over all idea is quite good and fun at times, and the gore is decent.
A decent remake of this film, with more humour, better actors and a better script would make for a much better film. At the moment it's very slow paced for what is essentially a teen horror film. it's certainly not on a par with 80's horror classics like The Lost Boys, or Amercian Werewolf in London, say.
Society revolves around a teen (Billy Warlock) who begins to realise he doesn't fit in - quite literally. His adoptive family and most of the town take part is weird 'orgies' where all their bodies morph in to all kinds or weird shapes. They also morph into each other.
The final 15 minutes or so does kind of make up for some of the more boring parts in Society - focusing entirely on one of these orgies as Warlock tries to save himself and his friends from being 'assimilated'. The end death, where Warlock literally pulls one of the characters inside out is an awesome moment and one of the great celluloid death scenes. Whether or not it justifies the rest of the film is debatable!
