Masigubhe iminyaka engu-25 ye-movie ethandwayo eqinisekile ukuthi izoba sohlwini olujwayelekile lokubuka lwabalandeli abathusayo.

I-slasher classic yango-1998 yayiqondiswe umqondisi osemusha, osafufusa Jamie Blanks, owayeneminyaka engu-26 kuphela ngaleso sikhathi. Nganginzani ngineminyaka engu-26? Ngisahlala nabazali bami! U-Blanks ekuqaleni wayebheke Ngiyazi Ongakwenza Ngehlobo Eledlule futhi waze waqondisa i-trailer emfushane kodwa ekugcineni uJim Gillespie wayeseqashelwe umsebenzi.

Kunalokho, iqembu elisha labafundi le-'bizarro' lilethwe ngu-Reese. Ngesinye isikhathi omunye wabo, uJenny, useyedwa, umlomo wakhe uvalwe isandla esinamagilavu. Imbazo ivuswa emoyeni bese igawulwa ibemnyama.

I-Urban Legend iqala ngendlela ekhangayo nengahlaliseki kahle futhi, njengaye Scream, ukulandelana kwayo kokuvula kwakubalulekile ekusetheni ithoni futhi kwasondeza ukwesaba komuntu siqu, kudlala ngombono wezinganekwane zabesifazane abangabodwa kanye ne-claustrophobia. Kodwa, esikhundleni sokuthi intombazane ekhaya iyodwa ilungele ukubukela imuvi, intombazane eyodwa eshayela yodwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezilungele noma yikuphi ukwethusa.

Umphumela omangalisayo ka-Christopher Young usifaka kulokho okuzoba ifilimu yomoya kanye nemnyama, egxile ekwesabeni nasebuhleni. Saziswa ngokushesha ku-Michelle Mancini, intombazane enganakekile eshayela ekhaya nge-SUV yayo ngobusuku obumanzi icula ihambisana no-Bonnie Tyler… amagama athi “phenduka” asetshenziswa ngobuhlakani njengesifanekiselo esinodlame. Ngokushesha uthola ukuthi unophethiloli omncane futhi uphoqeleka ukuthi ame egalaji likaphethiloli elingenamuntu, kanye nesisebenzi esisabekayo.

Kwesinye isigameko esisheshayo sembazo, uMichelle unqunywa ikhanda, insimbi iphahlazeke ngefasitela, inyama, igazi noboya esihlokweni sayo. Isithombe siyashabalala, imbazo iyashabalala emehlweni futhi okusalayo yifasitela eliphihliziwe. Ukulandelana kokuvula kudlala ngalowo mqondo wokungaziwa lapho ungazi kahle ukuthi umbulali uzogadla nini futhi ngayiphi indlela… futhi uma ekwenza lokho kuyamangalisa futhi kuyaphazamisa. Kuyinto ethokozisayo kubalandeli be-cinematography kanye nonqenqema lwezihlalo ezinyakazayo futhi. Ukuvulwa kuka-Horta kwasekuqaleni kwakuyi-macabre kakhudlwana nokho futhi kwakuhilela ikhanda lika-Michelle eligingqika libheke kukhamera kuze kube yilapho umlomo wakhe ugcwala isikrini futhi isigameko sabe sesishintshela ku-Natalie ezamula, ekhipha emlonyeni wakhe.

UNatalie uvuka ekuseni aye esidunjini sikaTosh esibandayo, esifile, izihlakala zakhe zigeqekile futhi 'Awujabulile Ukuthi Awuzange Ukhanyise Isibani?' elibhalwe egazini lakhe odongeni - futhi igama lale nganekwane ethile. U-Blanks uqondisa lezi zigcawu kahle, esebenzisa udlame olucatshangelwayo kakhulu esikhundleni sobudlova obuvela kuzo zonke, obufanele ithoni ye-movie nokubulala kahle.

Kumamuvi amaningi ahlabayo uzobe ucela ukubona okwengeziwe kodwa ku-Urban Legend yonke into izwakala ilungile.

I-Dean yasenyuvesi iseduze nokuhlangana nombulali, enganekwaneni ephindaphinda 'Isela Lemoto Elisika Iqakala' noma 'Indoda Ngaphansi Kwemoto'. Impela imisipha yeqakala iyasikwa ivuleke bese iwela esivimbeni sesondo.

Ukudalulwa kombulali kungenye yezintandokazi zami kunoma iyiphi ifilimu ye-slasher. Kwenzeka lokhu nje ehholo elingasasetshenziswanga iStanley Hall, osekuyindlu ehlasimulisa umzimba lapho bekubukiswe khona izidumbu, uNatalie ngokushesha uthola isidumbu sikaBrenda silele embhedeni. Njengoba efulathela ekhungathekile, uBrenda asukume ngemva kwakhe, ambambe emhlathini bese emamatheka okomqondo onganyakazi. Njengoba u-Natalie evuka, umbulali uqhamuka embonweni wakhe olufifi, ehla ngekhanda uBrenda athi, “gotcha!”.

Isiphetho sidlala ngendlela obungalindela ngayo lapho uBrenda ophithene ngendlela efanele edalula ukuthi esikhathini esithile ngaphambi kokuba uNatalie noMichelle babulale isinqandamathe sakhe sasesikoleni samabanga aphezulu lapho benquma ukushayela bengakhanyisi amalambu bese bezama ingoma ethi 'High.

Okusho nje ukugila lo mfana, u-Natalie no-Michelle bambulala ngephutha, kwaphihliza uBrenda nengqondo yakhe kwaba izingcezu.

Lokhu kubukeka okusha okuthakazelisayo kugqugquzelwe inganekwane/inganekwane ethi 'Intombazane EneRibhoni Eluhlaza', ngokuyisisekelo indaba yentombazane ikhanda layo laligcinwe lixhunywe ngeribhoni emzimbeni wayo. Ungabuka lokhu njengoBrenda eshintshwa kancane kanye neribhoni elimele ukuzigcina ndawonye… noma uyizombi elingenakhanda. Noma ngabe kunjani, kuyisiphetho esiyingqayizivele nesanelisayo futhi kanye nobuhlanya bakhe bangempela, kwenza uBrenda abe ngomunye wababulali besifazane engibathandayo.

Abalingisi banenkanyezi, abanezinganekwane eziningi nezinkanyezi ezizayo eziveziwe futhi njengobufakazi bombhalo ka-Silvio Horta obhalwe kahle futhi oqinile uthola okwanele ukuthi umlingisi ngamunye umayelana nani ngaphambi kokuba abulawe. U-Englund ugeleza ububi futhi ancibilike esigcawini ngasinye ngokucwebezela okucashile esweni lakhe. U-Joshua Jackson udlala isilima esihle futhi unikeza imuvi ukukhululeka kwayo kwamahlaya, ikakhulukazi, ukhanya endaweni edumile ye-pop rocks lapho kubukeka sengathi ubenesikhathi esihle sokudlikizela phansi. U-Gayheart mhlawumbe uyisihlabani sombukiso njengomngane omkhulu ozinikele kanye nombulali ohlanyayo, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sakhe sokugcina lapho eqala khona ukuhlafuna indawo futhi abeke lawo mandla engeziwe kumlingiswa wakhe.

Kungalezo zikhathi lapho uBrenda ephenduka enyameni eya esikhumbeni sokuhlushwa esisindwa usizi lapho ungamkholwa khona ngempela njengowesifazane okhishwe umphefumulo wakhe wathathelwa indawo yintukuthelo. Futhi masingakhohlwa u-Loretta Devine ongenakuqhathaniswa no-Reese Wilson, umlandeli wefilimu ye-Blaxpoitation ethi Coffy, isibhamu esisagolide. Ungambuka njengoDewey we-Urban Legend, othandeka nje futhi oxakile, kodwa isimo sakhe sengqondo esivuthayo senza u-Reese abe umlingiswa wakhe onamandla.

Imuvi imbi futhi iyashaqisa futhi inomoya omubi kakhulu kunoma isiphi isihlilingi, kodwa futhi izwa induduzo enkulu nge-nostalgia yayo yama-90's. Ngisho nezakhiwo ze-neo-gothic kanye neziqephu ezihleliwe zikwenza uzizwe sengathi ufuna ukukhasa esikrinini, kodwa lokho kungase kube yimina nje ngoba ngikhangwa i-TV nefilimu ehlanganisa amanyuvesi amahle ngisho nesilungiselelo senyuvesi. Kukhona okuthile okuhlekisayo nokho okwesabekayo ngabo, okungaphakathi Inganekwane yase-UrbanIcala lengeza ngempela imfihlakalo kanye ne-aura evamile. Uzizwa njengenhlanzi encane olwandle olukhulu, kodwa lapho umbulali efika, lezo zindonga zivale futhi uvaleleke. Kukhona yonke indawo lapho ungagijima khona kodwa akukho lapho ungacasha khona futhi lokhu bekuyisinqumo esihle kakhulu se-movie ye-slasher ene-modus operandi enkulu. Ama-scouts wendawo ashaye igolide futhi akhetha isilungiselelo esilungile, esiphendule indawo elula yaba into enkulu kakhulu… futhi okuthakazelisayo ngokwanele u-Joshua Jackson waqhubeka nokuqopha ifilimu ethi The Skulls nalapho.

Like Scream, Inganekwane yase-Urban ikhokhwe ukuhlonipha okwesabekayo ngendlela yayo futhi kuyincwadi yothando eya kulolo hlobo. Ngempela ifilimu ethusayo eyenzelwe abalandeli abaqinile abasabekayo. Yenzela into engaqondakali engaziwa kanye nesihluku engenzeka yezinganekwane zasemadolobheni njengoba i-Scream yenza kumamuvi nama-fandom. Zombili lezi zifundo zisekelwe ekugqugquzeleni, okungaziwa nokuthi yini engase ibe ngokoqobo esabekayo uma yenziwa ekuphileni. Ngaleso sikhathi kwakusekusha kakhulu futhi kunobuhlakani bokudlala ngalokho kwesaba sonke esasinakho ebusheni bethu. Wonke umuntu wayazi inganekwane yasemadolobheni futhi wonke amadolobhana anomlando wawo ojulile. Uzizwe uxhumeke ngokushesha kuzindikimba zayo futhi udonseleka endabeni yayo, okwenza i-Urban Legend ibe ngaphezu 'kwenye nje i-Scream clone'. Inefa layo elihlala njalo, okuthi, ngokweqiniso, ngithemba ukuthi sizophinde silivakashele esikhathini esizayo.

Kubonakala sengathi kuyahlanya ukucabanga ukuthi le movie ineminyaka engu-25 ubudala, kodwa kunjalo. Eminye iminyaka engu-25 sisazobheka emuva ngenjabulo kulokhu. Njengoba isisho sisho… abazenzi ngendlela ababezenza ngayo.
