Akuxhunyiwe, i-action/thriller entsha isiphumile namuhla kumatiyetha edlalwa Russell Crowe (Kusulwe Umfana), Caren Pistorius (Izinjini Zokufa) kanye noGabriel Batemen (Izingane zokudlala 2019).

Kule filimu, uRachel (Pistorius) ushayela indodana yakhe (uBateman) esikoleni. Endleleni ugcina esechama indoda engadalulwanga igama layo (uCrowe) onenkinga yokucasuka kwemigwaqo engake ngayibona. Njengoba le ndoda iqala ukulandelela abangane bakhe nejwayelene nabo, ibulala futhi ikhubaza noma ubani omvimbayo, uRaheli uphoqeleka ukuba amukele ukufutheka kwakhe ukuze amvimbe.

I-iHorror ikhulume noDerrick Borte, umqondisi wefilimu, ngaphambi kokuthi ikhishwe. Umqondisi ubenokuningi afuna ukukusho ngokwenza le filimu konke okwaqala ngemuva kokuba ebizelwe umhlangano nabaphathi eSolstice Studios ababone futhi bathanda ifilimu yakhe yangaphambilini, Umphuphi waseMelika.

"Njengoba, ngemuva kwesonto, ngithola ucingo futhi badlula umbhalo," kusho uBorte. “Ngiyicoshe kwacaca ukuthi ingeminye yemibhalo engingeke ngikwazi ukuyibeka phansi. Ngangingasakwazi ukulinda ukubona ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ekhasini elilandelayo. Ngisithandile iskripthi esiyindawo enhle yokuqala. Bengibathanda abantu kusukela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini noma ukwazi ngaphambilini. Kumane kuzwakala njengento efanele ngesikhathi esifanele.”

Nokho, wayengazi ukuthi kungaba inselele kangakanani ukwenza ifilimu. Futhi akazange aqaphele ukuthi imvelo izodlala kangakanani ohlelweni lwabo lokudubula.

Bafika eNew Orleans ukuze babhekane nezivunguvungu zansuku zonke ezivame ukuvala ukukhiqizwa amahora amaningi ngesikhathi. Bese kuba khona isiphepho sangempela esahlasela ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza esashiya ukunqamuka kukagesi kanye nemigwaqo yezikhukhula ngesikhathi saso, inselele ethile yefilimu eyenzeka ngokuyinhloko ezimotweni ezihamba njalo. Lokhu akusho lutho ngenkomba yokushisa eyayigcina izinga lokushisa lingaphezu kuka-110 degrees ngezinye izinsuku.

“Kufanele uthole i-IV ngesikhathi sokudla kwasemini ukuze uhlale ugcwele amanzi,” kuncokola umqondisi. “Ubhekene nezimoto, kwesinye isikhathi izimoto ezindala lapho i-airconditioning ingeyinhle kangako lapho abalingisi behamba ngezimoto ezingakwazi ukuzigcina zipholile njengoba besingathanda ukuzigcina.

Ngenhlanhla u-Borte, abalingisi bakhe baphumelele kule nselelo, futhi bamsiza ukuthi amgcine esendleleni ngokukhuthazela kwabo kanye nesimilo somsebenzi.

“WawunoRussell owaziyo ukuthi wonke umuntu osethilini wenzani noma okufanele enze kangcono kunabo,” echaza. “Kufanele ngempela ukhuphule izinga lakho futhi uze nomdlalo wakho we-A naye. Futhi uGabe unesipiliyoni esinjalo kanye nolwazi lwentsha. Ungumphefumulo omdala kangaka. U-Caren Pistorius ubengumuntu otholwe futhi okujabulele ukusebenza naye ngoba unenhlanganisela emangalisayo yobuqotho namandla kanye nokuheha esikrinini. Nsuku zonke bekumnandi ukuza ngizosebenza nalaba bafana, uyazi."

With Akuxhunyiwe ekugcineni “ekanini,” uhambo olude lokuhlela lwaqala. Bekungelula ukuhlanganisa ifilimu enesenzo esingaka. Ukukhetha amashothi angcono kakhulu aqhubekisela phambili ukulandisa ngenkathi usagcina futhi kwesinye isikhathi ukhuphula izinga lokushuba kwaba yinqubo enzima iyodwa.

Futhi, u-Borte uthi, waba nenhlanhla, nokho. Ithimba lakhe labahleli belinobuhlakani obumangalisayo futhi inqubo ibishelela kakhulu kunalokho ebekungekwenze ezandleni ezinekhono elincane.

“Ngezinye izinsuku ngangifika nombono bese ngithi, ‘Hhayi uyafuna ukuzama lokhu?’” esho. “Noma ngezinye izinsuku ngangifika futhi sebevele sebengaphambili ngamagxathu amabili anezinhlobo ezintathu ezihlukene zesigcawu esisikwe ndawonye. Futhi ngokungazi, bengithi, 'Nginike isiqalo senketho yesi-3, phakathi kwenketho 1, bese kuba nesiphetho senketho yesi-2. Asiyizame futhi.' Kungumsebenzi omkhulu kodwa uma uneqembu elikhulu kwenza izinto zibe lula futhi zibe mnandi kakhulu.”

Okungalindelwe ngumenzi wefilimu noma abalingisi, nokho, ukufika kwe-Covid-19 kanye nosizi oluzoludlala ohlelweni lokukhishwa kwayo. Akuxhunyiwe. Ifilimu ibambezelekile izikhathi eziningi njengoba izitudiyo nezinkundla zemidlalo yaseshashalazini zifuna ukuqhamuka nezindlela ezintsha zokusabalalisa amafilimu anezindlela ezintsha zokuphepha.

Ngenhlanhla umqondisi, ukwazile ukuhambela ukukhonjiswa kwefilimu ngoJanuwari futhi uthi, ebona Akuxhunyiwe etiyetha kwakuyisipiliyoni esiphezulu sefilimu.

"Senze isivivinyo ngoJanuwari kubantu abangama-450," kusho uBored. “Kwakumangalisa ngempela ukubona ifilimu ekamelweni eligcwele phama ngaleya ndlela. Izinga le-tension laliphezulu kakhulu. Ukuphefumula nokusabela kwakuhluke kakhulu kunomuntu oyibukele ekhaya noma okubi nakakhulu, ocingweni endaweni ethile oyaziyo. Ukubona le filimu egumbini eligcwele abantu kwengeza izinga lokwazi ukuthi lijabulisa kangakanani.”
