Amakhosikazi amemezayo nokwethuka akuhlukani. Kusukela ezinsukwini zokuqala ze-cinema eyethusayo, bobabili bahambisane. Kubukeka sengathi izilo nabahlanya abakwazi ukuzisiza bona, futhi badonseleka ebuhleni obuholayo okumele babhekane nezingozi ezingavamile futhi bathembe ukusinda ebunzimeni obumangalisayo obubekwe kubo.

Uma ucabanga ngakho, ukulingana kwe-franchise ye-horror ephumelelayo yakhelwe ezinsabeni. Impela lokho kufanele kuhambe ngaphandle kokusho, akunjalo? Kodwa-ke, yini eyenza ibhayisikobho isesabe? Uyazo ukuthi ngisho ukuthini. Ama-movie anamathela kuwe isikhathi eside ngemuva kokuthi uwabukile.

Kungaphezu kokuthi “BOO! Hha, ngikutholile, ”izikhathi. Lokho kwesabisa kushibhile futhi kulula kakhulu. Ngeke ngisho ukuthi konke sekungokwesibindi, yize imiphumela emibi ingazenza izisu zethu zibe ngamafindo, zigcina sezibandayo ekupheleni kosuku uma kungekho lutho ngemuva kwazo.

Yini-ke leyo esenza sikhumbule i-movie ethusayo, hhayi ukumane siyikhumbule, kepha siyixoxe, siyidumise, futhi (uma sinenhlanhla enkulu) silahlekelwe yimicabango yethu ngayo?

Izinhlamvu. Akunakucindezelwa ngokwanele ukuthi abalingiswa bakha noma baphule i-movie esabekayo. Kulula kanjena nje: uma singanaki abalingiswa kumabhayisikobho kungani kufanele sikhathazeke uma besengozini? Yilapho sikhathalela ukuhola kwethu lapho ngokuzumayo sizithola sihlanganyela nokukhathazeka kwabo.

Uyakhumbula ukuthi wazizwa kanjani lapho uLaurie Strode omncane (uJamie Lee Curtis) ebona iSimo simgqolozele ngefasitela? UMichael Myers (Nick Castle) ubesemini enkulu ngaphandle kokunakekelwa emhlabeni. Ukugqolozela. Ukulandela. Ukulinda ngokubekezela kwesihogo. Sabelana ngokukhathazeka kukaLaurie.

Noma ngenkathi uNancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) ebhajwe ngaphakathi endlini yakhe, engakwazi ukubaleka noma ukukholisa abazali bakhe ukuthi uFreddy Kruger wayezile ukuzomdwengula ngaphakathi.

Kukhona noyedwa owasinda eCamp Blood, u-Alice (Adrienne King). Njengoba bonke abangane bakhe befile, sibona iqhawe lethu elihle liphephile esikebheni ngaphandle eCrystal Lake. Sihlanganyela ukuphumula lapho kufika amaphoyisa, ecabanga ukuthi usindisiwe. Kodwa lapho uJason (Ari Lehman) ephuma emanzini anokuthula, nathi sashaqeka njengaye.

Sihlanganyela kukho konke ukunqoba nokunqoba kwabesifazane bethu abahola phambili, futhi uma kukhulunywa ngokwethuka sinethalente elihle kakhulu lokushaya ihlombe. Kodwa-ke, kuwo wonke ama-Scream Queens esiwathandayo, asikwazi ukuphika ubukhulu bomthelela wowesifazane oyedwa kulo lonke uhlobo.

Ngikhuluma ngomnqobi weGolden Globe Award uJanet Leigh. Umsebenzi wakhe wagqama ngokuhlabana ngezinkanyezi ezifana noCharlton Heston, u-Orson Welles, uFrank Sinatra noPaul Newman. Ukuqala kabusha okumangazayo ukuqiniseka, kepha sonke siyazi ukuthi simhlanganisa nobani kangcono, u-Alfred Hitchcock.

Ngo-1960 iPsycho yaphula umnyango wamathebhu amaningana futhi yethula izethameli ezijwayelekile kulokho okwakungaba yizinkombandlela zesimanje zamabhayisikobho ashibhile.

Ukwenza okulungile ngokuphelele, uma kukhulunywa ngale movie ebabazekayo, izethameli zikhumbula amagama amabili ngaphezu kwawo wonke amanye - uJanet Leigh no-Anthony Perkins. Lokho akusho ukuthi abanye abakhanyisanga emidlalweni yabo, kepha uLeigh noPerkins abakwazanga ukuzibamba kodwa beba lo mbukiso.

Ngabona iPsycho kamuva empilweni. Ngangineminyaka engama-20 ubudala futhi indawo yaseshashalazini yasendaweni yayikhombisa i-movie njengengxenye yomkhosi we-Alfred Hitchcock. Yeka ithuba leplathinamu lokuthi ekugcineni ngikubone lokhu okudala! Ngahlala phansi enkundleni yemidlalo ekhanyayo futhi kwakungekho sihlalo esisodwa esingenalutho. Indlu ibigcwele umfutho.

Ngikuthandile ukuthi i-movie ibingajwayelekile kangakanani. UJanet Leigh, iqhawe lethu eliholayo, wadlala intombazane embi, okusamangalisa namanje. Kepha ukwenza kanjalo ngesigaba esibushelelezi nesitayela esingenakuphikwa, asikwazi ukumsiza kodwa simsize.

Kunokuthile okuphazamisa kakhulu ngesimo sakhe no-Anthony Perkins 'uNorman Bates, into emnyama engabonakali sonke esibona ukuthi kwenzeka phakathi kwalaba bobabili. Kuleso senzakalo sakusihlwa esithobekile, sibona ngamehlo esidlova esifingqa isisulu saso.

Impela lezi yizinto sonke esizaziyo vele. Akukho okusha okuvezwa lapha, ngiyakuvuma lokho, kepha noma bengiyazi le ndaba futhi besengivele ngazi ukuthi yini okufanele ngiyilindele, i-chemistry ekusebenzeni kwabo okwabiwe nayo isangidonsa ngathi anginayo nencazelo yokuthi ngangikuphi.

Sifuna aphume lapho. Siyazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngokushesha nje lapho ebuyela egumbini lakhe le-motel. Impela ubukeka ephephe ngokwanele, kepha sonke sazi kangcono. Ishawa ivuliwe, uyangena futhi konke esikuzwayo umsindo ozinzile wamanzi agobhozayo. Sibuka singenakuzisiza njengoba umude omude, omncane ezongena esikhaleni sakhe.

Ngesikhathi ikhethini leshawa lihlehliswa futhi ummese ocwebezelayo uphakanyisiwe izethameli zamemeza. Futhi ayikwazanga ukuyeka ukumemeza. Ababukeli bebengenakuzisiza njengomlingiswa kaLeigh, futhi bamemeza naye njengoba ama-popcorn endiza esibhakabhakeni.

Ngenkathi igazi ligeza emseleni futhi ngibuka emehlweni ohlamvu lukaLeigh olungaphili lwangishaya lwangishaya kakhulu. Kusasebenza, ngicabanga. Ngemuva kwayo yonke le minyaka (amashumi eminyaka) ifomula lalabo badlali ababili ezandleni zomqondisi odumile lisasebenza umlingo walo omnyama phezu kwezethameli ukwethusa nokusithokozisa sonke.

Amathalente ahlanganisiwe kaPerkins, Hitchcock noLeigh aqinisa uhlobo olusanda kuvuswa lwe-slasher. Uhlobo indodakazi yakhe, uJamie Lee Curtis, lwaluzoqhubeka lube nomthelela ebhayisikobho encane ebizwa nge-Halloween.

Masibe neqiniso elinonya lapha. Ngaphandle kokusebenza okumangalisayo kukaJanet Leigh ePsycho, i-movie ibingeke isebenze. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ngubani omunye uNorman Bates owayengabulala ukufa ukube wayengekho weskripthi? Impela omunye umuntu ubengake azame le ndima, kepha oh Nkulunkulu wami njengoba ukubuyiswa kufakazelwa, ukusebenza kukaLeigh akunakubuyiselwa.

Ngithi wayiphatha i-movie? Yebo yimi. Nangemuva kokubulawa komlingiswa wakhe okushaqisayo ubukhona bakhe busabonakala kuyo yonke ifilimu. U-Leigh ukwazile ukuthatha i-movie eyodwa futhi wenza umlando owesabekayo ongenakuqhathaniswa, umdlalo esimkweleta impilo yakhe yonke yokubonga.

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ngaphandle kwendima yakhe kuHitchcock's Psycho uhlobo lwe-slasher belungeke lwenzeke kuze kube kamuva kakhulu, uma kungenjalo? Ngezindlela ezimbili kungenzeka uyebo.

Okokuqala, iPychocho yanika izethameli ithuba lokuhlanya ngabantu abaphatha imimese ababecathamela onobuhle abangazi lapho besengozini enkulu.

Okwesibili, uLeigh wazala isithombe. Ngemuva kweminyaka iPychocho, kuJohn Carpenter's Halloween, uCurtis wathatha ingubo kanina yobukhosi futhi wenza ifa elibi kakhulu. Okuthinte impilo yabo bonke abalandeli abesabekayo kusukela lapho.

Umama nendodakazi bebezovela ndawonye esikrinini kwenye iklasikhi eshaqisayo - nefilimu engiyithandayo ehlobene nesipoki - Inkungu. Inganekwane yokuziphindiselela emayelana nokwesabeka okucwila ekujuleni okungabonakali.

Sibona umama nendodakazi behlangana kanye kanye ngesikhumbuzo seminyaka engamashumi amabili ye-Halloween, i-H20. UJamie Lee Curtis uphinde wenza indima yakhe njengoLaurie Strode, kepha manje hhayi njengomuntu ogcina ingane, kepha njengomama olwela impilo yengane yakhe ngokumelene nomfowabo obulalayo, uMichael Myers.

Kungabonakala sengathi ukwethuka kugijime kakhulu emndenini wabo esikrinini nangaphandle. Lezi zintokazi ezingakholeki zimane nje zisenze ukuthi simemeze, futhi sizithanda ngakho.

UJanet Leigh ubezoba neminyaka engama-90 kulo nyaka. Igalelo lakhe ekuthuseni liyigugu. Ngokudabukisayo, udlule emhlabeni eneminyaka engama-77 ubudala, wajoyina izindlovukazi ezifana noFay Wray, kodwa ifa lakhe lizophila kithi sonke.
