I-Caveat ilandisa ngendaba yomuntu oyedwa ohamba yedwa onenkumbulo encane owemukela umsebenzi wokubheka owesifazane okhathazekile ngokwengqondo endlini elahliwe esiqhingini esikude. Umsebenzi uzwakala ulula ngokwanele, kepha kukhona i-caveat eyodwa enkulu. Kumele ahlale ekhiywe ngehhanisi lesikhumba eliboshelwe phansi egumbini elingaphansi endlini ebolayo, evimbela ukunyakaza kwakhe endlini futhi enze noma iluphi uhlobo lokuphunyuka lungabi lula. 

Ngiyithandile impela ifilimu (manje esetholakala kuShudder - ungakwazi funda isibuyekezo sami esigcwele lapha), ngakho-ke lapho ngathola ithuba lokukhuluma noMcCarthy mayelana I-Caveat, ukukhuthazwa kwakhe, amaphuzu aphakamisa izinwele, kanye nalelo thoyizi elinogwaja elinamandla, ngivele ngangehluleka ukumelana nalo.

UDamian McCarthy: Ngicabanga ngokwesaba, bengizibuza njalo ukuthi kungani bengaphumi endlini? Uyazi, indlu ihauned. Kungani bengahambi nje? Futhi kukhona amafilimu awenze umsebenzi omuhle njengawo Abafileyo Ababi 2, uyazi ukuthi ibhuloho seliphumile, ngakho-ke abakwazi ukuhamba - I-Vigil enhle futhi, uyazi, abantu beze nezindlela zokudala. Kepha ngivele ngacabanga ukuthi bekufana, kimi, kuwumqondo omdala kakhulu ebenginawo, umqondo wokuthi umfana uzofaka leli bhande ngamabomu. Futhi uvunyelwe ukuzungeza indlu kodwa angangeni kuleli gumbi elilodwa ngenxa yale chain ende, exhunywe kwihhanisi. Futhi-ke ngokusobala izinto ezingena ku-creepier, usheshe wabeka lo mgwaqo endleleni yakhe ekusukeni. Futhi bengicabanga nje ukuthi lokho kungayenza yesabe kakhulu, ngoba noma ngabe kwenzekani kuye, akakwazi ukuphuma endlini. Angeke nje aphele, uyazi, ayikho indawo yokungena ukucasha.

UKelly McNeely: Ngicabanga ukuthi yakha ngokuphelele ukungabaza. Kunjengokusaba okukhulu kuyo yonke ifilimu engiyithandayo ngempela. Ngicabanga ukuthi isebenza kahle kakhulu kunokweqa okwenziwe, ngoba ayikaze ivele - lo mbono wokuthi ngeke abaleke. Ngiyafuna ukwazi ukuthi yimaphi amafilimu ama-horror owathandayo, yini ekukhuthazayo? Ngibuke namanye amafilimu akho amafushane, futhi ngibonile lolu hlobo olumnyama kakhulu lwekhwalithi eyesabekayo neyesabekayo kubo.

UDamian McCarthy: Ngamafilimu asabisayo, ngicabanga ukuthi ngingahle ngishintshe kakhulu ngiye ezindabeni eziyizipoki, okungaphezu kwamandla emvelo, okuthandwa ngabantu enibaziyo, iHideo Nakata's Isilimi, Ngicabanga ukuthi ingenye yamafilimu asabekayo kunazo zonke ezake zenziwa. Futhi-ke ngiyamthanda uJohn Carpenter's The Thing. Leyo mhlawumbe i-movie yami engiyithandayo. Abafileyo Ababi 2, kunjalo, kepha mhlawumbe ngingenandaba kangako, uyazi, ukuhlukunyezwa nodlame nezinto ezinjengalezi, noma ngisazibuka.

Kepha ngicabanga ukuthi siyokwenza nini I-Caveat, bekufana kakhulu, ake sizame ukuyikhanyisa bese siyishutha sengathi yindaba yesipoki kunokuthile okunodlame. Ngoba futhi, noma iziphi izithombe ezivela ku-movie zizoba ngumfana, uyazi, ngehhanisi lencwadi nochungechunge. Ukube ubethelwe obomvu nemifino, ubungacabanga, kulungile, kuzoba uhlobo lwefilimu yokuhlushwa efana Ihostela. Kepha yebo, ngicabanga ukuthi kunokwesabeka okungaphezu kwamandla emvelo, impela. Yilapho engangizilandelela khona njengomlandeli owesabekayo. 

UKelly McNeely: Ngabe kukhona okukhuthaze ngqo ifilimu ngenkathi uza nomqondo nokubukwayo?

UDamian McCarthy: Ngicabanga ukuthi sibheke ama-movie amaningi kaGuillermo del Toro, ngoba nje mahle kakhulu. Ngiqonde ukuthi, cha, angisho ukuthi sifeze okufana nalokho, kodwa empeleni bekuyinto ebesikhuluma ngayo kakhulu ekuqaleni ngokukhanyisa nezithunzi eziningi nezinto ezinjalo. Owesifazane Omnyama kube enye ifilimu ebesibheka ukuyikhomba ngoba futhi, kuyindlu yakudala edabukisayo emashi enokubola okuningi nokuxebula iphepha lodonga namabhodi aphansi agqwalile, lolu hlobo lwento. Ngakho-ke lokho bekungukuhle kakhulu ebesikufuna. 

Ngokuphathelene nendaba, angicabangi ukuthi kunjalo, ngicabanga ukuthi kufana ncamashi nomvuthwandaba wawo wonke ama-trope wesabekayo engiwathandayo eminyakeni edlule. Ngisho, ungangeni ezansi egumbini elingaphansi - yena uye ezansi. Ngisho, empeleni wenza lonke iphutha elilodwa ongalenza kwifilimu ethusayo. Kunembobo odongeni - impela kufanele agxishe ubuso bakhe abone ukuthi yini phakathi lapho. Futhi ukuqala nje, ufaka leli bhande ngeketanga elide, esiqhingini, sodwa. Ngakho-ke, ngiqonde, kusho ukuthi empeleni kuyisinqumo esibi esisodwa emva kwesinye.

UKelly McNeely: Ngifuna ukukhuluma ngeziqu okwesikhashana uma ngikwazi, ngoba lowo nogwaja! Utholephi lowo nogwaja?

UDamian McCarthy: Kwakuyibhantshi nje eligubhuzelayo engangilithola kwenye indawo ku-eBay eminyakeni edlule.

Ngimngenisile ebunnyini, futhi ngathi ngokuyisisekelo, ungakwenza lokhu kubonakale sengathi kufana nokuwa futhi kugugile kakhulu? Futhi ngimlethele izithombe kusuka kulokhu okudala kakhulu I-movie yaseCzech evela kuma-80s mayelana no-Alice eWonderland. Futhi inalolu hlobo lokunyakaza kokuma okungajwayelekile, futhi kuyaphazamisa kakhulu.

Ngakho-ke sithole - ngokuyisisekelo - isakhiwo esikhulu esingenalutho ngemuva kwale ndlu. Kuyindawo enkulu yokuheha izivakashi eBantry - lapho ngivela khona - ibizwa Indlu yeBantry. Banezitebele ezinkulu ngemuva ezingenalutho ngokuphelele. Sakhe… Ngicabanga ukuthi, ama-70 noma ama-80% walokhu okubonayo esikrinini kuyisethi, iningi lazo zonke izingodo ezibolile nayo yonke into eseyindala ukuyenza ibukeke indala futhi ibola futhi, futhi idilike. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kunamakamelo amabili kuphela ku-movie, uyazi, izindawo zangempela endlini. Ngenhlanhla yethu, bebekhona lapho kusethi, bekukuncane kakhulu ukuhambahamba.

Ngakho-ke ngalokho, yebo, wayeqinisile impela. Futhi kukhona okunwebekayo okude kwifilimu lapho kungekho ngxoxo. Ithembele kakhulu kumaphuzu. Ngakho-ke uyazi, umsebenzi bekufanele ufakwe kuwo. Futhi wakwenza. Wenze umsebenzi omuhle.

UKelly McNeely: Kuyisikolo esihle kakhulu. Akusizi kahle neze. Futhi enye yezinto engizithandayo ngefilimu futhi ukuthi luhlobo lwesiphepho esifanele sokuthi "Cha ngiyabonga". Yonke imininingwane evelayo ifana nokuthi, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. Ngabe ikhona eminye imibono onayo?
