The premise
In the year 2022, overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have reduced society’s leaders to finding food for the teeming masses. The answer is Soylent Green.
Horror Vault's take
In a sweltering, overcrowded New York City of the near future, a hardboiled detective stumbles onto a murder case that pulls at threads far bigger than one dead man. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers about the sinister machinery keeping a desperate, starving population in line. Soylent Green is a slow-burn dystopian nightmare dressed as a crime thriller, with mounting dread and a moral horror that lingers long after the credits roll.
