Ngakho-ke ungumbulali obulalayo futhi unesisulu sakho esilandelayo sonke esikhethelwe uLwesihlanu olulandelayo ebusuku. NgoLwesihlanu oluzayo kuphela lapho kudlalwa khona kuqala i- “Halloween” futhi usuvele unawo amathikithi, ngeke ukuphuthelwe lokho: enye impilo iyasindiswa.

Ukwelula, akunjalo? Kepha lowo empeleni ngumqondo nokutholakele ngemuva kocwaningo oluthi ama-horror movie awabhebhezeli udlame, bayawuphazamisa.

Izazi zezomnotho uGordon Dahl noStephano Della Vigna banqume ukubeka umbono wokuhlola ocwaningweni lwango-2003. Bahlaziye ama-movie amakhulu wokukhishwa esikhathini esiyiminyaka eyishumi. Bathola ukuthi kubo bonke abantu abayizigidi ababona ifilimu enonya ngalolo suku, ubugebengu obunodlame bancipha ngo-1.5 baya kumaphesenti ama-2.

Lokho kusho ukuthi amabhayisikobho afana ne- “Hostel,” “The Purge,” ne- “It 'ikwazile ukuqeda ubugebengu obunodlame obuyinkulungwane ngempelasonto. hhayi njengoba abanye abantu becabanga, kugqugquzele abantu ukuthi bazibophezele.

Lokho kuphambene nezingxoxo mpikiswano ezithi amafilimu asabisayo ayingozi noma “Sekuvele kunodlame oluningi kakhulu emhlabeni.” Uma kukhulunywa iqiniso, amakhophi akhona futhi akhuthazwa ngodlame lwama-celluloid, kepha lokho akuvamile futhi lokho kungachazwa ngokuqhubekayo kule ndatshana.

UDahl noVigna baphinde bathola elinye iqiniso elimangazayo: lezi zithikamezo ziphinde zaphazamisa ubugebengu obubandakanya izidakamizwa notshwala ikakhulukazi phakathi kwabantu abangaphezu kweminyaka yobudala esemthethweni yokuphuza.

Yize lezi zibalo zikhuthaza, ngeshwa, bangafunda kuphela isikhathi esifushane. Ukungathembisi okuncane bekuyisikhathi eside ngoba abacwaningi bathola "Abukho ubufakazi bemiphumela yokugijima okuphakathi kuze kube amasonto amathathu ngemuva kokuvezwa kokuqala" kumafilimu anobudlova.

Okunye okuqinisa lesi siphetho kube yiphrojekthi yakamuva eKapa yeNingizimu Afrika yinhlangano engenzi nzuzo imibono42. Ukutadisha kwabo kukhombisa imiphumela efanayo nekaDahl neVigna ngenye indlela.

Ocwaningweni lwaseNingizimu Afrika, intsha engama-156 ehola kancane yanikezwa iqembu elilawulayo noma iqembu lokungenelela ngezikhathi ezithile. Iqembu elilawulayo lalikhululekile ukuthi liphile impilo yalo njengokujwayelekile, kepha iqembu lokungenelela lacelwa ukuthi lihlanganyele nohlelo lwekhompyutha olwaluphakamisa imisebenzi yangempelasonto eyayiphephile futhi imnandi.

Ezinye zeziphakamiso ezinikezwayo beziqala umdlalo webhola lezinyawo nezinto ezinjalo. Uma sebethole kokuthize abakuthandayo, uhlelo lubasizile ukuthola imininingwane yokuthi bazomema bani, indawo ezoba kuphi, njalonjalo.

Imiphumela ikhombise ukuthi labo abebekhuthele ekuhleleni okuthile okujabulisayo noma okukhiqizayo bebengaba yingxenye yamathuba okuthi babambe iqhaza emisebenzini engaphephile noma babhekane nodlame phakathi nempelasonto ezayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iqembu lokulawula lalinethuba lokuncika emisebenzini engaphephile.

Nasi esinye isici okufanele usicabangele. Ngo-2014, a isifundo sokuqala somusa waso yenziwa phakathi kweqembu elinolaka nelingenalo ulaka. Bobabili baboniswa ama-movie asabisayo. Akumangalisi ukuthi abantu ababebhekwa njengabangenalo ulaka bazizwa, bekhathazekile futhi bengenayo imizwa, kuyilapho iqembu elinolaka lahlala lizolile futhi "lingathukuthele kakhulu." Kuze kube yilapho i-movie isiphelile. Lapho nje isiqede i- Ulaka Ukushaya kwenhliziyo kweqembu kukhuphukile futhi ngesikhathi sesivivinyo esingavuseleli esibizwa ngokuthi isigaba "sokuzula kwengqondo", lapho kungaboniswanga lutho, abahlukumezi babenakho, "ukusebenza okuphezulu kwengqondo ngokungajwayelekile."

UDkt Nelly Alia-Klein, waseMount Sinai Hospital eNew York, uthe ngemiphumela, “Indlela umuntu asabela ngayo endaweni yakhe ixhomeke ebuchosheni balowo obonayo.”

Ngamafuphi, uma usuvele uthambekele ekucabangeni ngolaka lokho kungasho ukuthi ifilimu enobudlova izokhuthaza imikhuba efanayo yokuziphatha, kepha akusho ukuthi wonke umuntu uzolandela, lokho uhlelo lwakho lomzimba — ungumnikazi wayo.

Thina e-iHorror asibuthetheleli ubudlova, singase sijabulele ama-movie awubonisa ngezizathu ezahlukahlukene, kepha ukuthola imibono yokuphuma bese siyilingisa akukho nje endlini yethu yamasondo. 

Ngingaze ngilinge ngisho nokusho ukuthi siwela kumcabango “wokuthikamezeka” ochazwe ngenhla ngoba uma uzinika isikhathi sokufunda lokhu, futhi ungenawo amathikithi embuyiselo ye- "Halloween", ikuvimba ekwenzeni ezinye izinto kubandakanya ezibhubhisayo.

Ngakho-ke kulokho, sithi, abaqondisi, abalingisi, nababhali baqhubeka nokwenza amafilimu asabisayo, ungaba abasindisi bokuphila, futhi manje sesingama ngokuzethemba ngemuva kwakho ngobufakazi lapho abantu befuna ukuphikisana ngenye indlela.
