The Adrenochrome connection


Torturing kids to suck out their life essence. That's what the sick elites have been doing for ages.
Also, I can't believe we're seeing a kid being tortured and murdered on a blockbuster movie. Maybe that's why it flopped.

Yeah that part was uneasy, but the comeuppance scene where Danny and Colin Kaepernick start sniping them in the woods was amazing

I observed the same similarities, kinda like Monsters Inc as well.

I can never tell when people are joking anymore. The whole Adrenochrome from kids thing comes from Hunter Thompson, who didn't mention kids specifically--just from living persons--and was just joking around. But he probably got it from Norman Spinrad in Bug Jack Barron, and he did have a substance harvested from captive dying children for the immortality of the rich.
