Yiso leso sikhathi sonyaka… futhi. Angiyena umlandeli omkhulu wesikhathi samaholide. Ngisebenze amaholidi amaningi kakhulu ezitolo ukuze ngingawajabulela. Faka umbala nge-jaded. Kulabo abanjengawe, ungabuthambisa ubuhlungu obudala obujabulisayo ngamanye ama-movie we-Yule-tide horror. Kukhona okubili ngokukhethekile engikhuluma ngakho namuhla: Krampus (2015) kanye Indaba Ethusayo KaKhisimusi (2015).

UKrampus (i-monster yasenganekwaneni, hhayi i-movie) ibilokhu ikhula ukuthandwa ngaphezu kweminyaka.

Kunemikhosi yaseKrampus, okokugqoka, futhi manje nama-movie lapho bekungekho khona eminyakeni embalwa edlule. UKrampus uphikisana noSanta. Ungusathane ehlombe likaSanta, lapho ukujezisa ababi futhi ubathwale ngeqoma, ukushaywa noma ukunyamalala ngokuphelele. Kwenza ukuthola amalahle kubonakale kungcono kancane, akunjalo?

Ukuba ngumuntu othanda i-creepy, kooky, engaqondakali futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngisho ne-ooky, bekufanele ngihlole lawa ma-movie. Ukuqhathanisa izinhlangothi zombili, elinye liyasebenza nelilodwa… kahle, alisebenzi. Krampus (iqondiswe nguMichael Dougherty) imayelana nomndeni ohlangana ndawonye ngamaholide.

Lo mndeni awujabule futhi awusebenzi kahle, ngakho-ke kuningi ukuphikisana nemizwa emibi phakathi kwabo. UMax (Emjay Anthony) ukhathazekile kakhulu kangangokuthi udabula incwadi yakhe eya kuSanta bese ishaya isibhakabhaka, ngaleyo ndlela ededela idimoni laseKringle lingene endaweni yakhe. Kuze kube manje leli bhayisikobho lihle impela.

Inkhulumomphendvulwano ilungile, abalingiswa abathandeki, kepha ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele babe njalo, futhi imiphumela muhle impela. Indawo lapho le movie yangilahlekela khona yindlela uKrampus asebenza ngayo. Njengoba ngishilo phambilini, ukhona ukujezisa ababi, kepha umuntu wokuqala amthathayo nguBeth (Stefania LaVie Owen) udadewabo kaMax.

Ngaphandle kwengane, ungomunye wabantu abanomusa kakhulu nabamsulwa eqenjini. Umndeni uthathwa ngamunye ngamunye, kuholele esiphethweni esingabamba inketho yokulandela inkambo kodwa sishiye izethameli zizizwa ziklebhukile. Ngenkathi isibalo sangempela sikaKrampus siholela esithombeni esihle esesabekayo, isimilo sesilo singishiya ngizwa sengathi lesi kwakuyisigaxa sami samalahle ngoKhisimusi.

Ngomugqa wenkanyezi yamahlaya ka-Adam Scott (IPiranha 3D, Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense), noDavid Koechner (Indlu eHununted), ungacabanga ukuthi lesi kungaba yisikhathi esihle sokushaya emadolweni. Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kwama-snickers ambalwa lapha nalaphaya, i-movie ibibukeka ingenalutho ngabalingiswa abangafani nomuntu omubi ongahambelani nomlando.

Ohlwini lwemali oluphambene kukhona itshe eliyigugu elifihlekile elibizwa ngokuthi A Indaba KaKhisimusi Eyethusayo (2015). I-anthology yezindaba ezine zikaKhisimusi "ezibalwe" nguWilliam Shatner njengoDan oyingozi.

Lezi zindaba ezine ezihluke kakhulu zikulethela iholide elihanjisiwe kusuka emagumbini amane we-paranormal. Ngangiyisiwula ngijabule ngalokhu. Lezi zindaba zisukela esikoleni esihaunted, eshintshashintshayo, iKrampus ne-zombie elves. Yize ngikuzonda ukubhekabheka izindaba ezintathu (futhi bezimangalisa, ngayinye enesiphetho esisontekile), ngifuna ngempela ukugxila ekubonakalisweni kukaKrampus.

Ngenkathi iKrampus evela kwi-movie yayo yamagama isabeka futhi isithunzi-y, icishe ifane nezidalwa zasehlathini. Masingakhohlwa, kumane kujezisa wonke umuntu, kubandakanya nezingane. Krampus kusuka A Indaba KaKhisimusi Eyethusayo mude, mkhulu futhi umhlophe njengeqhwa.

Ubuso babo baziwa kakhulu njengobufanekisela ububi futhi uthatha onecala kuphela. Ukubiza uKrampus, umuntu kufanele agcwaliswe okuphambene nomoya kaKhisimusi, intukuthelo noma inkanuko yokuziphindiselela. Kuyindlela ehlakaniphile kakhulu yokumela uKrampus. Izigcawu zokulwa zinhle futhi uKrampus uphethe isikhali sakhe sokusayina, iketanga elixhunyiwe. Isikhali sisodwa sanele ukukwenza ungcolise amabhulashi akho eholide.

 

 

Sekukonke, ngicabanga lokho Indaba Ethusayo KaKhisimusi igoduka nendondo yegolide yokwesabeka kwamaholide, futhi ngiyayifaka Ukubulawa kukaSanta noBill Goldberg. Inemiphumela emihle, ukulingisa okuhle, ukubhala okumangalisayo kanye noDeveli kaKhisimusi osabisa ngobuhlanya. Ngakho-ke, ecaleni likaKrampus v. Krampus, ngikhipha isinqumo esivuna Indaba Ethusayo KaKhisimusi. Ukhululekile ukuhamba.

Ngaphambi kokuthi uhambe, uma ungumlandeli owesabekayo weholide, hlola ukuthi kungani i-elf yakho eshalofini kufanele ibe ishintshiwe.

Amaholide ama-Creepy wonke umuntu!
