So I'm trying to remember a film- its 80s or early 90s (certainly not past 92 as I had seen this sometime in 91 or 92, possibly 90). Its a sci fi horror film where the teenagers in this town are being used by the adults to experiment on or prolong their life, people were even using their own children. It was like a rich society/cult. A stand out scene is that a bunch of them are standing around a box and they lift the lid open and one guys daughter is in there but shes skinned, purplish looking and a goopy mess but still alive with the look of shock in her eyes...
Its not Society or Hellraiser.... its something incredibly obscure. I remember watching this on HBO or a long gone cable channel in the early 90s.
Some of the details you have provided match the ones from the movie "Freejack" from 1992 www.imdb.com/title/tt0104299/ Is this the movie you are looking for?

Thanks but unfortunately it is not Freejack, The Believers, or The Witches. I want to say this was a lower budget film without any majorly popular actors in it (at least for the time).

Do you have even a hint of a title for the film in your memory? That could be incredibly helpful.

All I remember is what I have posted. I mainly watch horror and sci-fi films and have a collection of over 2000 films but I have yet to have been able to turn this film up. Ive seen it multiple times as a kid too, most likely on WPIX 11 New York.
I've taken the liberty of posting this for you on the tip of my tongue subreddit with the infomation already provided here. Topic is here if you want to post/respond https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/l5fzpp/tomtmovie1980s1990s_horrorscifi_film_with_very/

The mention of rich people trying to prolong their life makes me think it could be 'Parts: The Clonus Horror'

Could it be the made-for-TV film Bay Cove (1987), it's a fairly obscure film which is more noteable for featuring a bunch of people well known from TV shows of the same period including Woody Harrelson. It's plot is of that kind. The film itself can be found on YouTube at a channel called TVFanatic.
