Bill's privileged lifestyle comes to an end when he happens upon a tape revealing his family is part of a gruesome orgy cult for the social elite. This relentless satire of upper crust morals, masquerading as a lurid splatter film, is a social manifesto worthy of Karl Marx!

Bill's life would make may of his peers jealous. He is living in Beverly Hills with his well-to-do family, he is dating a cute cheerleader and drives around a Jeep Wrangler. Then how come he feels he doesn't fit in? When his sister's ex hands him a tape depicting his family participating in a murderous orgy, a highly alarmed Bill takes the tape to his shrink. But when he returns, he finds out that its contents have been tampered with and that the tape now shows his sister's innocuous coming out party. ''In the finale the mask of upper-class propriety drops and society reveals its true face, while the sound effects alone are enough to rank the on-screen initiation ceremony among the best grand guiniol scenes in the history of film. A social manifest that would make Karl Marx proud''.
