Cishe sekuphele izinyanga eziyi-16 kusukela ngaleso sikhathi The Guardian, leyo ncwadi ehlonishwayo yase-UK eyasungulwa ngo-1821 yashicilela isihloko lapho umbhali wabo, uSteve Rose, utuse ukufika kwe-post-horror amafilimu afana IVVitch futhi Kufika Ebusuku kanye nezitudiyo ezibenza baphakamise lokho okwesabekayo ayengakwenza kube.

“Uma kukhona umuntu ofaka izinto ezesabekayo ezindaweni ezintsha, nguye, kodwa akusona isikhathi? Kuyohlale kunendawo yama-movie esijwayelanisa nokwesaba kwethu kwasekuqaleni futhi esabisa i-bejesus kithi," kubhala uRose. "Kepha uma kukhulunywa ngokubhekana nemibuzo emikhulu, engokomfanekiso, uhlaka olushaqisayo lusengcupheni yokuqina kakhulu ukuthi lungaqhamuka nezimpendulo ezintsha - njengenkolo efayo."

Manje ngokuqinisekile, noma ubani oye wanaka umlando wamafilimu asabekayo uyazi kahle ukuthi lolu hlobo luhlala lungena ekwesabeni komphakathi kanye nezindaba zomphakathi.

Ngemva kokuwa kwamabhomu e-athomu eJapane, ukwanda kwezinambuzane ezinkulu nezilwane eziguquliwe kwathatha indawo yebhayisikobho. Ukwesaba nokungaqiniseki ngenkulungwane yeminyaka ezayo kanye nokulahlwa kwentshiseko yenkolo kwaletha I-Exorcist futhi I-Omen. Uguquko locansi lwadala intombazane yokugcina ngesikhathi ngesikhathi esifanayo lunikeza isifundo sokuziphatha sokuthi ucansi olungaphephile lungaba kanjani lapho umbulali ozifihle ubuso ezikhululekele.

Ibikade izenza zombili lezi zinto uRose abekhuluma ngazo esihlokweni sakhe ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi nganikeza uMnu. Rose ukufunda okuhle ngalokho encwadini yakhe ethi. isihloko sokuphendula njengalena engiyibhala manje.

Phakamisa phambili izinyanga eziyi-16, kanye no-Anne Billson, enye intatheli ephuma kuleyo ncwadi ehlonishwayo—okusobala ukuthi akavumelani ngokuphelele noMnu. Rose, noma mhlawumbe ungaphezu kwakho konke—usitshela sonke ukuthi “i-post-horror” ewubulima ilubulala kanjani uhlobo futhi ufuna nje ukugxuma kwakhe ukwesaba emuva.

Ugh...kulungile, ngakho-ke ake sihlukanise indatshana kaNkz. Billson kancane.

Kumelwe ngivume ukuthi uBillson ucishe wangifaka ebhodini kuleso sigaba sokuqala lapho eveza ukuthi abalandeli abaningi abangabesabi bagxumela emishwaneni efana nethi “post horror” kanye “nokwethuka okuphakeme” njengenhlobo engaphansi ukuchaza iqiniso lokuthi bayayithanda ngempela. amafilimu athile asabekayo. Ngokufanelekile, umuntu angabiza amaningi alawa mafilimu ngokuthi i-arthouse horror, obekuhlukaniswa isikhathi eside manje.

Kwakusesigabeni sesibili, lapho sahlukana khona, nokho.

“Nakuba kuhlale kukuhle uma ukwethuka kuthathwa ngokungathi sína kakhulu,” kubhala uBillson, “kuyihlazo ukuthi izibonelo ezingahlonishwa kakhulu zisalahlwa abagxeki nabalandeli be-picker, nakuba lokhu kungabonakali kuthinte izilinganiso ezinkulu zenzuzo. zama-punchbags abalulekile kulo nyaka.”

Intatheli ibe ibala amafilimu ambalwa eyawathokozela anezixhumanisi ezihlokweni lapho alahlwa khona ngokufana ngabagxeki. Okuxakayo, nokho, zonke izixhumanisi uBillson abelana ngazo ziqhamuka kuzo The Guardian, The Times, nokunye okushicilelwe okunomlando wokulahla wonke amafilimu athusayo ngokuvamile.

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi lezi zincwadi zinenkinga ngohlobo, kodwa kuyiqiniso futhi ukuthi okwesabekayo, ngokungafani nezinhlobo eziningi zamafilimu, kunomkhakha wonke owakhiwe abantu ababika futhi babuyekeze amafilimu asabekayo abangawabuki. Ukuhlanza kokuqala futhi Overlord njengethuba lokuxosha umenzi wefilimu ngokungazenzi Citizen Kane.

iHorror, UFangoria, 1428 Elm, Bloody Disgusting...Baningi kakhulu abakhiwe ngababhali abanekhono abalukhathalelayo uhlobo, futhi nakuba kungezona zonke isibuyekezo esisibhalayo esivumayo, ngokuqinisekile uzothola izibuyekezo eziningi ezinhle ngaphezu kwalokho umuntu ongakulindela ngokufanelekile kokaBillson. ukushicilelwa.

Kodwa ake sikubeke eceleni lokho, isikhashana.

UBillson uzibandakanya ohlotsheni lwakhe lobuhlakani lapho ebhala ukuthi abaqondisi abafana noDavid Gordon Green noLuca Guadagnino abagcini ngokufaka amafilimu abo ngophawu kodwa bangakwazi futhi bakhulume ngalolo phawu lapho bekhangisa ifilimu yabo. Intatheli ikhetha kakhulu abaqondisi nababhali abangena entweni “abangayiqondi ngokugcwele” besebenzisa I-Nun futhi Overlord njengezibonelo.

“Njengezindaba zezinganekwane noma izinganekwane, uhlobo ludonsa emthonjeni wokwesaba nezifiso zokuqala,” uyabhala, “ngezindikimba ezifanayo eziphindaphindeka kaningi ngendlela ehlukile ezicatshangelwa ngayo, kodwa yindlela ezibuye zihunyushwe ngayo. iwagcina emusha.”

Kuleli phuzu, ngingavuma—futhi ubonile yini ukuthi usebenzise amazwi kaRose ngokumelene naye–kodwa ngingaphinda ngikhombe uBillson emakhulwini wamazwana athunyelwa nsuku zonke abalandeli bohlobo olunolaka abadelela futhi bathande lesi sici sokwenziwa kwefilimu ethusayo. Bafuna okuthile okusha okwehluke ngokuphelele kunalokhu abake bakubona ngaphambili okungukuthi, ngesikhathi esifanayo, lokho kanye abake bakubona ngaphambili ngabalingisi abasha.

Eqinisweni, ekupheleni kwe-athikili, uBillson uzwakala njengabaningi balaba balandeli okuyinto ekugcineni eyinkinga nge-athikili kanye nemizwa ngemuva kwayo. Uthi okwesabisayo kuyisonto elibanzi elinendawo yazo zonke lezi zinhlobo zamafilimu, kodwa nokho, ubonakala efuna ukuthumela ihlelo labathandi be-post horror esakhiweni esihlukile bonke bendawonye, ​​futhi lokhu akuvezwa ngokucace ngaphezu amazwibela ezithombeni esihlokweni sakhe. (Bheka uma ungangikholwa.)

Okuthusayo is subjective. Okwethusayo kumuntu oyedwa kuyaba buthuntu kolandelayo.

Mina, ngokwami, angiyena umlandeli wamafilimu athusayo agcwele igazi kangangokuthi ngibona izibilini ezinegazi njalo uma ngivala amehlo ami isonto lonke ngemva kokuwabuka. Ngicabanga ukuthi iphoyisa elizothatha isinqumo sokumane libe kabi kunokuba lisabise.

Nokho, angikaze nakanye ngibone ukwethuka komzimba njengokungafanele ukunakwa nabalandeli abakuzuzile futhi ngeke ngiphatheke kabi ngokuthi ifilimu ehlasimulisa umzimba ithole ukunyatheliswa okwengeziwe kanye nokwamukelwa okubucayi kangcono kunolunye lwezinhlobo ezingaphansi engizijabulelayo. okuningi kakhulu.

Ekupheleni kosuku, kukhona abantu abathanda Hereditary nabantu ababekuzonda. Baningi nje abantu abathanda I-Nun nabanye ababekuzonda.

Ngingakhuthaza uNksz Billson njengoba bengingathanda noma yimuphi umlandeli owesabekayo onenkinga yohlobo oluthile oluncane oluthusayo ukuthi enze izinto ezimbalwa:

1. Buka izinhlobo zamafilimu owathandayo futhi ugweme lawo angakuthusi, angakusebenzeli, noma angakuthakaseli nganoma iyiphi indlela. Lokhu kulula kakhulu kuBillson njengoba kukho konke okwenzekayo cishe kunamafilimu ayi-10 agcwele ukwethusa akhululwa kuwo wonke amafilimu asabekayo e-arthouse minyaka yonke.
2. Uma ifilimu ocabanga ukuthi ayifanele ukunakwa iyanconywa, ibuyekezwe kahle, noma ithole ukunakwa ocabanga ukuthi ayikufanele, qhubeka uskrola. Lokhu akusho ukuthi inkulumo-mpikiswano enempilo ayiyona into enhle. Ngikhuthaza njalo! Kodwa inkulumo-mpikiswano enempilo ayivamile ukwenzeka esigabeni sokuphawula sanoma yikuphi ukushicilelwa.
3. Futhi ekugcineni, mhlawumbe bhalisela izitolo ezimbalwa ezithusayo futhi uthole izindaba zakho zemuvi ethusayo lapho kunokuba uzifune ezincwadini ezingeke zinikeze amafilimu akho owathandayo isikhathi sosuku.

Ekupheleni kosuku, uBillson noRose kumele bobabili baqonde ukuthi abalandeli be-horror abanakupendwa ngebhulashi elilodwa elibanzi. Singase singazwani sonke, kodwa singayiphakamisa ingxoxo ibe into eyinkimbinkimbi kunokuthi “Uyisimungulu” uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthi “Akwethusi lokho.”
