Ngemvelaphi yamahlaya, uJosh Ruben manje uthatha uhambo lohlobo, futhi kunjalo kuchoboza ngokuphelele kuze kube manje. Isici sakhe sokuqala kwakuwukuxoxa indaba ngendawo eyodwa Ngithuse (manje kuShudder), kepha nge Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi, URuben ukhombisile ukuthi akayona iponi yamaqhinga. Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi kuyimfihlakalo ebabazekayo yokubulala-slash-monster; kuyinto indwangu ekhonjiwe yokwesabeka okukhulu, kanye nesimangaliso esinenhliziyo efudumele.

Ibhalwe ngumhlekisi uMishna Wolff futhi isuselwa kumdlalo wabadlali abaningi we-Ubisoft wegama elifanayo, Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi Ulandela umgadi wepaki, uFinn Wheeler (uSam Richardson ojabulisa njalo, Veep), njengoba efika endaweni yakhe entsha edolobheni elincane lasemaphandleni iBeververfield. Lapho, uhlangana nomsebenzi waseposini uCecily Moore (Milana Vayntrub, Yithi laba) kanye nabanye abantu basemadolobheni, bonke abanemibono eyahlukene ngepayipi elihlongozwayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe, okuphakamisa ukungezwani phakathi komakhelwane. Ngokushesha, leli dolobha lihlaselwa okungaqondakali; ukushaywa yiqhwa, ukubalwa komzimba kuyaqala, futhi kusolwa nxazonke.

Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi kuthatha isisekelo somdlalo weVR sokuzama ukukhipha i-werewolf yedolobhana futhi iphonsa kwezinye izinhlamvu eziqinile (inikwa amandla yiqembu elihle kakhulu) kanye nendawo ebuyekeziwe. Ngempela ngabalingisi abakhanyayo kule filimu, futhi konke ukusebenza kushaya isisindo esikhulu. Abalingisi bahlanganisa uSarah Burns (I-American Vandal), UGeorge Basil (ashaya), UMichael Chernus (Orange New Black), UHarvey Guillén (amaFX's Lokho Esikwenza Emasimini), UCheyenne Jackson (30 Rock), Michaela Watkins (Casual), noGlenn Fleshler (Barry), ngamunye ehlanganisa ngokuphelele umlingiswa wakhe onemibala. 

Njengeqembu, bonke banethuba lokudlala ngokulethwa okucacile komugqa kanye nokusabela okuncane engxoxweni yomunye nomunye. Kuwo wonke umugqa ohanjisiwe, ungabuka noma ngubani ngemuva; bonke balalela ngenkuthalo futhi baphindisela ngokulingiswa. Ngisho nemigqa yenkhulumomphendvulwano elahlwayo yengeza izingqimba ezingeziwe zomongo kumlingisi ngamunye, okunikeza ukuqonda okuthe xaxa ngobuntu babo nomlando wabo. 

Izinhlamvu ezisekelayo zonke ziwu “hlobo” olubonakalayo; ama-caricature acacile akhombisa izinkolelo zesimanje zaseMelika. NjengeCanada, ngithole ukuthi ingeze isendlalelo esengeziwe kuleso lens yangaphandle; imvamisa sithola umbono othile owenzelwe lezi zinhlobo zobuntu, ngakho-ke ukuzibona zithathelwa phezulu ngokweqile ngenxa yamahlaya, kusebenze kahle kakhulu. 

Kepha ngaphezu kwezinkolelo-ze, umlingiswa kaFinn ungeza inhliziyo efudumele, eshayayo kule filimu. Uyiqhawe lokuthakazelelwa nobuntu, ngomqondo wokuziphatha okuhle komakhelwane sonke okufanele sikufise. Izinkulumo zakhe ezihlanganisayo ziyirali elwa nokugxeka, ukubizela ezingalweni kokuhle kithina sonke, ukuhlangana ukuze siphathane kangcono. Ukuba nomusa, ukucabanga, nabantu abacabangayo abakubonayo ukuthi naphezu kwakho konke ukungafani kwethu, sonke sikulokhu sindawonye. URichardson uphelele ngokuphelele endimeni - ukuletha kwakhe ngobuqotho, nokwethembeka kubonakala sengathi kuqotho kakhulu. Ukubuka le filimu, njengomuntu ozibona eyisishoshovu futhi owayehlala yedwa, inhliziyo yami yakhula ngobukhulu obuthathu ngalolo suku. 

Ngenkathi abakwa-Finn's monologue abavusa amadlingozi beletha ifilimu ngokomzwelo, lo mbhalo ugcwele izingxoxo ezisheshayo ezithi zibuyela emuva naphambili njengomdlalo wethenisi. UCecily, ikakhulukazi, ungumdlali oqinile lapha, futhi uphoqelelwa kakhulu ukusebenza kukaVayntrub - umane nje uthande ukuthanda "intombazane epholile" quirk engenza U-Amy Dunne umona. 

Kuyo yonke ifilimu, ukulethwa komugqa kwawo wonke umuntu kungukuphelela, yize eminye imigqa mhlawumbe izwakala sengathi kungenzeka ukuthi ingezwe ekukhiqizeni okuthunyelwe ukugcwalisa indawo. Angiqiniseki ukuthi ngabe kunjalo ngempela, kepha noma iyiphi indlela, imigqa yonke iyasebenza nezigcawu zisacofa. Kukhona nje okuthile mayelana namahlaya efilimu akhulume nami ezingeni elijulile - konke ukukhethwa kwakuyinothi elifanele, isikhathi esifanele, ijubane elifanele. Konke kusebenza ngokubambisana kubadlali abanolwazi kanye nesipiliyoni sikaRuben endaweni yamahlaya.

Ifilimu ehlakaniphile, ehlekisayo esonga isenzo sesithathu ngendlela eyanelisa ngempela, kepha akupheleli lapho. Izinto zobuchwepheshe ziletha: ukukhanyisa ne-cinematography kuhle kakhulu, umculo ukhethwe kahle, ukuhlela kuhle, futhi kunejubane elisheshayo eliya phambili. Ngangingenalutho ngaphandle kokuhlaba umxhwele ngalo lonke iphakethe.

Ngaphandle kokuba omunye - uma kungenjalo - ukujwayela ama-movie amahle kakhulu wevidiyo, Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi kufana nenhlanganisela ebukekayo, ye-homepun ye- Umkhondo futhi The Thing. Kufana Fargo ihlangana Arachnophobia. Kufana Umnumzane Rogers onezibhamu. Ngoba ekugcineni kwakho konke - amahlaya nokwethusa nobuchwepheshe eceleni - Ama-Wwolves Ngaphakathi kusifundisa isifundo. Ukuze ube usizo. Ukuba nomusa. Ukuze ube umakhelwane omuhle. Ukuze ungavumeli izilo ziphumelele.

Ngakho-ke uma unentshisekelo kule filimu, ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi uyihlole. Uma uyayithanda, yabelana ngayo nothile. Kuyinto yomakhelwane ukuyenza.
