Ungaba Umbulali incwadi yothando yamahlaya e-meta-horror eyanelisa ngokujulile eya kuhlobo olungaphansi lwe-slasher.

Le filimu igqugquzelwe intambo ye-twitter ekhaliphile phakathi kwababhali u-Chuck Wendig no-Sam Sykes. (chofoza lapha ukuze uyifunde ngokugcwele) lokho kwahamba ngokushesha. Kulolu chungechunge, u-Sam ufinyelela ku-Chuck ukuze athole iseluleko lapho isikhundla sakhe esisha njengomeluleki wekamu lasehlobo simbeka endaweni eyinqaba. Kukhona i-serial killer ku-loose, futhi abeluleki bawela njengezimpukane ezigetshengwa futhi ezisikiwe. Ngengxoxo yabo, u-Chuck uqondisa uSam ekuboneni okungagculisi ukuthi kungenzeka kube nguyena onecala.

Umqondisi uBrett Simmons (Husk, Isilwane) - ophinde wabhala umbhalo noCovis Berzoyne noThomas Vitale - uphumelela ekudaleni ifilimu ngezwi lakhe siqu namandla, kuyilapho ehlonipha umoya wezinto zomthombo. Umbhalo ugcina amazwi ekhemistri ka-Sykes no-Wendig kanye namahlaya kuyilapho ufeza ingxoxo ende yama-tweet angu-80 ibe yimizuzu engu-90 yefilimu.

Enye inkhulumomphendvulwano iphuma ngqo emculweni, kodwa ayilokothi ivele njengokungazenzisiyo ngenxa yamadlalade aphuma ku-Fran Kranz (Ikhabethe Ehlathini) no-Alyson Hannigan (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Akunzima ukuqonda ubunkimbinkimbi bokuziphatha besikhundla bobabili u-Sam no-Chuck abazithola bekuso. U-Sam udonsa kanzima ukuthola uhlobo oluthile lwesixazululo sokuwina njengoba u-Chuck elinganisela imizwa yokukhathazeka futhi – ngenxa yolwazi lwakhe olukhulu nothando lwakhe isihloko - intshiseko engathandeki. Okungukuthi, ngokweqiniso, kunengqondo. Njengomlandeli owesabekayo, uma uthola ucingo olucela iseluleko ngesimo sohlobo oluncane oluvamile, ubungeke yini uzizwe nje kancane ujabule kancane?

Ungakwenza. Ungaqambi amanga.

Uma ujwayelene nomsebenzi wangaphambilini ka-Kran no-Hannigan, uzokwazi ukuthi bobabili bangabalingisi abanesiphiwo sohlobo oluqinile lwemizwa kanye nesikhathi sokuhlekisa semvelo. Kuyamangaza ukuthi bebengakaze badlale ekamelweni elilodwa ndawonye - abazange bafunde ngisho nemigqa ngaphandle kwekhamera - ngenxa yokuthi ukugeleza kanye ne-chemistry yengxoxo yabo ayinamthungo nhlobo.

Ukulingisa kuka-Hannigan njengo-Chuck kugqugquzelwe. Ubonisa ukuqonda okungokwemvelo kokuqukethwe okungokomzwelo kweskripthi futhi uhamba lolo mugqa omuhle ngokuthandeka nokuzethemba okungangoba ungamaphesenti ayikhulu ongafuna ukumshayela ucingo ukuze uthole iseluleko nganoma yisiphi isihloko. Uyindoda eqondile ngokuphelele, futhi sizizwa siphephile uma sinaye lapho njengezwi lokucabanga. Futhi u-Hannigan unethezekile ngokuslayida kumodi yocwaningo kangangokuthi uhafu ulindele ukubona yonke i-Buffy's Scooby Gang ihlola amatomu asendulo ngemuva.

Nakuba Ungaba Umbulali yamukela uhlobo olungaphansi lwamahlaya we-meta-horror, ayichithi ngokuphelele izimiso zokuziphatha zesimo se-slasher. Izigxobo zisephezulu kakhulu, futhi ukusebenza kukaKranz njengoba uSam encike kuleyo nkinga yokuziphatha.

I-Kranz iyakwazi ukuhambisa amandla obuhlakani okuthi - ngezinguquko ezicashile ekusebenzeni - okungahle kube okuhlekisayo futhi kushaye i-slapstick umzuzwana owodwa, futhi kuphazamiseke futhi kucindezele ngokulandelayo. Uthandeka kakhulu kangangokuba kulula ukuxhumana naye futhi umsuka wesimilo sakhe. U-Kranz uthwala umbukeli ebangeni lamaleveli emizwa anikeza ukujula nokugcizelela kusilungiselelo esibi sokusika.

Ungaba Umbulali iphenya umbhalo kuma-horror tropes wakudala kuyilapho uhlonipha ngendlela yothando lwangempela. U-Simmons ubonisa uthando lwakhe lohlobo ngokufaka izinkomba ezibukwayo, inkhulumomphendvulwano, kanye nemiklamo yesethi/yephrop esebenza njengokuvuma ngekhanda okucacile kwezintandokazi ezithusayo kanye nemibono yohlobo.

Le mininingwane iyingxenye yalokho okwenza Ungaba Umbulali ifilimu elimnandi elinjalo elimnandi lanoma yimuphi umlandeli osabekayo. Kodwa, njengoba sithanda ama-slashers ethu, kungase kube khona izici eziyinkinga.

Umlingiswa wokugcina oyintombazane ngokwesiko usemusha, ongatholakali ngokocansi, oziphethe kahle, futhi okungajwayelekile owesifazane webala. Ku Ungaba Umbulali, ingxoxo eyodwa esenzweni sesithathu ikhuluma ngobuqili le nkolelo-mbono ngombono ocashile oxhunywe kungxoxo.

Ungaba Umbulali ugibela ngaphakathi kohlobo oluncane lwe-slasher ukuze uhlole ama-tropes awo ngombono ohlukile. Kuyi-meta ekhohlisayo nenhle kakhulu engase ilahleke kunoma ubani ngaphandle kokujwayelana okudlulayo kohlobo oluthusayo. Sekushiwo lokho, ama-clichs abanzi kangangokuthi kunzima ukuwakhumbula.

Ifilimu ithola amandla ngempela ngokubuka okulungile. Ngibe nethuba lokuyibona kusikrini esikhulu njengengxenye ye I-Toronto Ngemuva Komkhosi Omnyama Wefilimu, futhi iwuhlobo lwemuvi olubonakala kahle kakhulu eqenjini labalandeli bohlobo abajabulile.
