*** ISEXWAYISO SE-SPOILER: Umlingiswa kaCooper wayengumuntu owasinda kule filimu, isenzo esingajwayelekile sezinhlamvu zombala kumafilimu amaningi asabekayo lapho kukhula khona ithokheni, ikakhulukazi ekukhishweni kwesikrini esikhulu. Lokho kungenye yezinto uHartford, ngokwakhe, asebenzela ukuziqeda. QEDA ISIPHOTHO ***

“Izindaba zokumelwa. Njengoba sinabalingiswa abaningi abangeyona i-punchline, njengoba sinabalingiswa bangempela abaningi okungewona amahlaya noma ukufakwa kwamathokheni, esikwenzayo kuyindlela yokudweba engagqamile nje kuphela, kodwa sinezindaba ezizwelayo futhi ezihluphayo ngokweqiniso, ” echaza. “Njengoba Indawo Empunga, Ngakha abalingiswa abazenza bona uqobo futhi abayingxenye yendaba ngaphandle kokuba yindlalifa. Lokho kuyinto enhle ngohlobo. Kukhona indawo yohlobo lwami lwendaba eceleni kwamafilimu kaRob Zombie nama-slasher angama-80s. ”

Lokhu kuvule umnyango osibuyisele kumafilimu ama-horror akudala kanye nalezo ezazingagcini nje ngokuqhekeka komhlaba, kepha lokho kwakusho nokuthile kubo bobabili uHartford noCooper.

“Yingakho ekaRomero Ubusuku babaPhilayo abaFileyo bekumangalisa kakhulu, ”kusho uHartford. “Bheka ukuthi uDuane Jones wenzani ngaleyo ndima. Bheka ukuthi lokho kulandelana kokugcina kwenzani.

Ngokudabukisayo, okushiwo nguCooper kuliqiniso.

Ezweni lonke, sibonile ukubuyiselwa emuva kwamalungelo okushintshwa, kusukela ekwazini ukusebenza kwezempi kuya ekuvikelweni okujwayelekile ekubandlululweni lapho ufuna ukunakekelwa kwezempilo. Abesifazane abanemibala yeTrans babulawa ngezinga elimazayo, futhi abomthetho benza okuncane ukukuvimba.

Uma sikhuluma ngalokhu, sivame ukusolwa ngokuba ngabezombusazwe, kepha leyo nhlamba ayivelanga kithi. Abezombusazwe bafaka imininingwane yethu kwezombusazwe lapho benza imithetho ebanzi egxeka ubukhona bethu. Abezombusazwe bafaka imininingwane yethu kwezombusazwe lapho besenza "omunye" lapho bangaphazamisa abavoti ezindabeni ezibaluleke kakhulu.

Kungakho kubalulekile ukumelwa okujwayelekile nokuthi kungani ukubonakaliswa kwamathokheni kulimaza kabi kangaka. Abantu bebala, abesilisa nabesifazane, abesilisa nabesifazane abakhona.
