Soylent Green (1973) My dad had already spoilered me on this film before we watched it together. The whole reason we watched it was because he had made reference jokingly to the end and I had no clue what he was talking about. Anyway, it's been a while, but knowing the ending conclusion beforehand, I remember getting very upset and feeling anxiously nihilistic during the people-dumptruck scene. This big dumptruck just plowing through the crowded city streets, shoveling people back into the waiting bed of the truck. The incomprehensible desire of survival that erases boundaries, society, community, and morals and the merciless, faceless, hopeless arm of bureaucracy feeding the maw of humanity.
My mother also showed me the original Pet Sematary when I was 10 or 11 after finishing the book. At the time, it was hard to get me reading books so, when we figured out I was an edgelord and liked horror things, she allowed me to read Stephen King and Clive Barker just to get me to do the freeform book reports I was told to do for school. Anyway, watching Pet Sematary after finishing the book was my reward(as was watching Cujo and Hellraiser after finishing their novel counterparts). I still remember being viscerally disturbed by all the Zelda scenes.
