Ngaphambi kokuthi igama elithi "i-porn yokuhlukumeza" lidalwe kwakukhona ifilimu enkulu embi ka-grand-daddy bonke abasuka kuyo, Indlu Yokugcina Kwesobunxele. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi le movie yayinempikiswano ngokwedlulele ngesikhathi sayo, njengoba kusenjalo namanje, yabeka umgoqo wamafilimu alandelayo okuhlukunyezwa nokuziphindiselela eminyakeni elandelayo; futhi yayibeka high.

Sekudlule iminyaka engamashumi amane nanhlanu kusukela kwakhululwa umpetha we-macabre u-Wes Craven Indlu Yokugcina Kwesobunxele, ifilimu eshaqisayo namanje isabhekwa njengengavunyelwe ngemva kwengxenye yekhulu leminyaka. Kuphinde kube yifilimu engcolile kangangokuba bambalwa abanye abasondele ekuhlangabezaneni nezinga layo lokuqina kanye nenhlamba ngaphandle kokweqa isimo sangempela… kuphazamisa ngendlela okungenzeka ngayo lelo qiniso. Abaningi abake bazama ukudlula ibha engokoqobo ngokuphelele noma benze ifilimu yokudlwengula ephazamisa ngempela engenalo icebo, abalingisi abangenalutho (isisulu kanye nomenzi wobubi ngokufanayo) futhi kungekho ukuqhubeka kwendaba.

Ngaphandle kwefilimu ngokwayo ukumaketha kwefilimu kungenye yezingcezu ezithakazelisa kakhulu futhi ezinhle engake ngazibona ohlotsheni. Esikhundleni sokubukeka okupholishiwe, okucwebezelayo kwamaphosta emuvi kusukela osukwini lwayo, The Last House on the Kwesobunxele uhambe nomzwelo omnyama nomhlophe ofana kakhulu nefilimu. Ilungisele umbukeli ukuthi azibonele ngokuzayo. Hhayi-ke, njengoba ulungiselelwe ngendlela ongayenza ngayo ifilimu emayelana nokudlwengula nokubulala, kuyilapho empeleni kungekho okungalungisela izethameli ezivamile zango-1972 izehlakalo ezizokwenzeka esibukweni.

Umugqa wethegi obekwe ngokusobala ekhoneni elingezansi kwesokudla sephosta uthe “Ukuze ugweme ukuquleka qhubeka uphindaphinda imuvi kuphela …imuvi kuphela…imuvi kuphela….umnyakazo kuphela.” Ikhono lephosta lokuheha izethameli ezingalindelekile emqondweni ongakhululekile lisikhumbuza izinsuku zomqondisi uWilliam Castle ngawo-1950. U-Castle wayengumqondisi osabekayo owaziwa ngokusebenzisa izigigaba zokuvula nangaphandle kwesikrini ukuze athwebule umcabango wababukeli futhi abangele ukwesaba ngaphambi kokuba i-reel iqale nokugingqika. Wayezobuyisela imali kulabo ababengenaso isibindi sokuhlala kumafilimu akhe. Ungathi izethameli zingathonya isiphetho sefilimu ngevoti. Ubeyingcweti kwezokuthengisa ezixukwini ezisencane nezisengcupheni zecinema yokuqala.

Ubuhle bangempela ngemuva kwale movie amandla okuhlala ewagcinile eminyakeni edlule. Ngisho neminyaka engamashumi amane nanhlanu kamuva izigcawu ezenza izethameli zinyakaze, ziqhinqe, zifulathele, futhi zigudluke kabi ezihlalweni zazo zisadlala okufanayo nanamuhla. Kuyivelakancane kakhulu ukuthi imuvi ethusayo ibe nalolu hlobo lwamandla okuhlala, ikakhulukazi njengoba ukuncintisana phakathi kwabadali bamamuvi ethusayo kuphezulu kakhulu.

Kodwa-ke, uCraven wayenokuthile okukhethekile kakhulu ngale movie eyathinta izethameli futhi yamzuzela umqhele we-Scare Master; izilo zakhe bezingazigqoki izifihla-buso. Izilo zakhe zazingabantu benyama negazi bangempela njengabantu abahlezi ezilalelini ezibukele. Abazange baphathwe yisifo sengqondo futhi babengaphoqwa ngezibhamu ukuba benze lezi zenzo. Bajabulela udlame abaludalile, olusobala futhi olulula. Lokhu kuxhumana kwabantu kungesinye sezizathu Indlu yokugcina kuphole ababukeli futhi baqhubeke nokwenza njalo.

Ngobugebengu beManson Family eminyakeni embalwa edlule futhi ukuqulwa kwamacala asaqhubeka ngesikhathi kukhishwa ifilimu inkathi yamahlelo nezilo zokuphila kwangempela yayisezingqondweni zababukeli abaningi bamabhayisikobho ababehlezi enkundleni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini emnyama. Izilo zazingasezona izinganekwane ezazigqoka amakepisi futhi zinamazinyo, futhi zazingaseyona imizimba ephilayo enamabhawudo entanyeni yazo noma inyama edla engafile. Babengebona ngisho bonke abesilisa! Ngokujikijela umlingiswa wesifazane ka-Sadie kule ngxube njengomuntu odabukisayo kanye namandla aqhuba udlame ahlakaze izingqondo yonke indawo! Ekugcineni kwabonakala kwabezindaba, futhi manje ebhayisikobho, izilo zingokoqobo njengami nawe. Zingaba umakhelwane wakho, uthisha wengane yakho, noma umfowenu imbala.

Enkathini lapho i-boogeyman yayingadingi imaskhi ukuze icashe ngemuva komkhathi yayigcwele ukwesaba, futhi uCraven wasebenzisa imali enkulu kulokhu Indlu Yokugcina Kwesobunxele kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wayehlosile noma cha. Laba babulali benyama basasakazwa emithonjeni yezindaba futhi basabalulekile kwabezindaba namuhla okungesinye sezizathu eziyinhloko ezenza le filimu isaduma kubabukeli emhlabeni wonke futhi isathusa ababukeli bamafilimu nanamuhla.
