her trapped in the funhouse with the tethered meaning that for the entire movie red was Adelaide and Adelaide was red number 16 people food Soylent Green the best type of plot twist is one that involves cannibalism unfortunately that just so happens to be the reveal in Soylent Green in a dystopian world ravaged by overpopulation and a mass shortage of essential resources like food and water soil and industries provides wafers as a food source one in particular the film's namesake Soylent Green is tasty and nutritious allegedly made from ocean plankton however oceanographic reports proved the oceans had no plankton and upon further investigation it's revealed that Soylent Green is actually made out of human remains meaning anyone who ate the wafer was unintentionally partaking in

than escape in Psy's final scene after all the tension and bloodshed the dead body in the middle of the room slowly rises up it's a very interesting person his name's John has an inoperable front to the villainess jigsaw killer was hiding in plain sight the whole time number 13 the bunker parasite this Jarah bending film is a wild ride from start to finish directed by pong ho who won four Academy
