Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi bangasinda ku-movie esabekayo.

Kodwa “Amawele Asontekile” u-Jen no-Sylvia Soska, abasingathi bomdlalo owesabekayo we-GSN othi “Hellevator,” bacabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi banephutha.

UJen uthi: “Sonke sinecala lokubuka ifilimu ethusayo bese sithi, ‘Ungangeni lapho’ noma ‘Ngeke ngikwenze lokho. “Wonke umuntu ucabanga ukuthi angasinda efilimini esabekayo kodwa ake ngikutshele nje, cha. Awukwazi. Angikabuboni ubufakazi obuningi bayo ku-'Hellevator.'”

Isizini yesibili yondunankulu be-"Hellevator" namuhla ngo-9 ku-GSN, futhi odade bakwa-Soska bathembisa ukuthi babuyile nokuziphindiselela.

Isizini entsha iyisinema kakhulu, kusho uSylvia, eyifanisa nefilimu kaDavid Fincher. Isizini entsha nayo, ngokwamazwi kaJen, “inomoya omubi futhi owesabekayo.”

"Kubi kakhulu kunalokho ucabanga. Kubi kakhulu kunalokho obukucabanga futhi sikuthatha mathupha ngempela.” – USylvia Soska

“Kubi kakhulu kunalokho obukucabanga,” kusho uSylvia. “Kubi kakhulu kunalokho obukucabanga futhi sikuthatha mathupha. Ngeke ulindele izinto esizenzile.”

Isizini yokugcina yombukiso wegeyimu—otholakala ku-Hulu ne-Netflix—isungule isakhiwo esiyisisekelo sombukiso. Esiqeshini ngasinye iqembu labaqhudelana abathathu belishintshana ngokusinda ezinseleleni ezahlukene ezitezi ezihlukene ze-Slaughterhouse. Ozakwethu beqembu babecwila njalo lapho izicabha zensimbi ezisindayo zekheshi zivuleka kwelinye iphasishi elimnyama, elibi, isikhathi ngasinye libaholela endaweni enyantisayo enendida abazoyixazulula.

Izinselelo zangonyaka odlule zazihilela ukuboshwa ngamaketango namajakhethi aqondile, ukumba izitho ezidunjini, ukudubuleka ngezikhwama zomzimba (ngezinye izikhathi ezigcwele) ukuze uthole imali nokuba nesibindi sezinyoka nofezela. Ngaleso sikhathi, ikhamera ijwayele ukusika uJen noSylvia egumbini lokulawula, behleka futhi beklolodela izisulu zabo zakamuva.

Ukusinda esitezi ngasinye kuzuzisa abaqhudelanayo imali ekhulayo—inselelo yesitezi sokuqala ibiza u-$2,000, esitezi sesibili u-$3000, okwesithathu u-$5,000. Khona-ke abaqhudelanayo bamarokhethi be-Hellevator bafinyelela inselele yabo yokugcina, enzima kakhulu—ebiza kufika ku-$40,000.

Kule sizini isakhiwo esiyisisekelo sombukiso sisekhona, nezibuyekezo ezimbalwa.

Ngesizini edlule leyo nselelo yokugcina ithumele abaqhudelanayo ku-The Labyrinth, umgodi ogcwele izihlanya. Kule sizini, i-Labyrinth ithathelwe indawo i-Inferno. Ukusinda I-Inferno kuzobandakanya ukusinda ezinseleleni eziyisikhombisa - eyodwa ngezono eziyisikhombisa ezibulalayo - ngemizuzu eyisikhombisa.

“Angazi ukuthi bangaki abantu abazophumelela e-Inferno,” kusho uJen. “Angazi noma sizobona isimbangi esingaphumelela kuzo zonke izono eziyisikhombisa ezibulalayo. Ngizokuphonsa phansi lokho manje. Uma ucabanga ukuthi ungadlula kuzo zonke izono eziyisikhombisa ezibulalayo ngemizuzu eyisikhombisa ngizo—” uyathula futhi aqondise kabusha. “USyl ngizohamba nawe ngosuku."

 

Le sizini futhi ihlanganisa abaqhudelani abane ngesikhathi esisodwa esikhundleni sabathathu—yize oyedwa ezothunjwa ngokushesha futhi aphonswe esitokisini e-Inferno. Iningi labaqhudelana nalo kule sizini lizobhekana nezinselelo ezihlobene nomsebenzi walo—amawele aziwayo kanye nabadla izambane likapondo bazoba phakathi kwabangenele le sizini.

Ngokuqondene nazo zonke ezinye izinselelo zakwa-floor, odade bakwaSoska bathi bagqugquzelwe izindaba zobugebengu zangempela kule sizini, futhi basekelwe ezindabeni eziningi ezinyantisayo zohlelo mayelana nempilo kanye nobugebengu bababulali bangempela be-serial life. Amawele aseCanada agcona ukuthi kulaba babulali abalandelanayo, umbulali waseCanada uRobert Pickton uzobandakanyeka ohlwini lwezindaba olufakiwe.

“Njalo qaphela umuntu onepulazi lezingulube,” kuncokola uJen. "Ezindabeni ezingahlangene, sizobe sithola ipulazi lezingulube."

 

Idala i-Hellevator

"Ngithanda ukwenza izinto ezithusayo ngabo bonke osayizi abahlukene, izimo namafomu." – Jason Blum

U-Jason Blum, umkhiqizi kanye no-CEO wemikhiqizo ye-Blumhouse, ehlanganisa "i-Hellevator" ne-Matador, uthi umgomo oyinhloko wale sizini kwakuwukwandisa into ethusayo.

“Wonke umuntu uhlale efuna izinto ezisabisayo, ngenxa kankulunkulu, ngakho-ke sikwenza kusabise,” usho kanje. “Sizovumela izethameli zinqume ukuthi siyifezile yini leyo nhloso kodwa bekuyinhloso yethu leyo.”

UBlum usedume ngokubamba imicimbi ebukhoma ezweni lonke ukukhangisa amafilimu akhe. Ngo-Okthoba ka-2013 i-Blumhouse of Horrors yahola izihambeli endlini eyinkimbinkimbi ebekwe endaweni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini. Kusukela lapho i-Blumhouse idale izinto ezithusayo ezizivelelayo njengegumbi lokubalekela eliphromotha okuthi “The Pruge: Anarchy” kanye nolwazi olungokoqobo olungokoqobo lwe-“Insidious 3” e-Los Angeles nasezindaweni ezizungezile. I-Blumhouse iphinde ibe khona emcimbini we-Universal Studios we-Halloween Horror Nights e-Hollywood kulo nyaka, igcwalise ipaki ngabadlali abathusayo abagqugquzelwe “I-Purge: Unyaka Wokhetho.” UBlum uthi ulwazi lwenkampani yakhe ngokusabisa bukhoma lube nomthelela ku-“Hellevator.”

“Kuhluke kakhulu ukwesabisa abantu esikrinini samabhayisikobho kunokwethusa abantu empilweni yangempela,” kusho uBlum. “Sifunde izifundo eziningi emicimbini yethu ebukhoma futhi eziningi sazisebenzisa lapha.”

Kodwa ekugcineni, konke okugcina embukisweni kuwumzamo wokusebenzisana phakathi kweBlumhouse, Matador kanye namawele akwaSoska.

Uhlelo, uBlum uthi, beluyithuba lokwenza umdlalo wegeyimu usabise. Futhi u-Blum ufuna ukwenza yonke into kulo mhlaba yethuse kancane.

“Bengilokhu ngizithanda izinhlelo zemidlalo futhi bengicabanga ukuthi kungaba mnandi ukwenza uhlelo olushaqisayo,” kusho uBlum. "Ngithanda ukwenza izinto ezithusayo ngabo bonke osayizi abahlukene, izimo namafomu."

 

Ukusinda Kwamandla

Esimeni salo mbukiso wegeyimu, imiklomelo yangempela yabaqhudelanayo ingase ibe ngaphezu kwemiklomelo engukheshi. U-Sylvia uthi ukusinda ezinseleleni kuqhathaniswa nokusinda ku-movie ethusayo—uma ungakwazi ukufinyelela kude kangako.

“Uyazi lapho i-Battle Royale iba yinto yangempela, njengokuthi uma i-Hunger Games iqala, bazobheka i-Fear Factor ne-Hellevator njengokuqhubeka kancane kancane,” esho, emamatheka. “Kodwa uyazi, ngizenzile izivivinyo futhi okumnandi ukuthi, empeleni uzizwa njengesisulu esisinde entweni enkulu bese uthola lokhu kugijima kwe-adrenaline futhi uzizwe ungcono ngawe. Unalolu hlobo lwengqondo yentombazane yokugcina noma yomfana wokugcina futhi uzizwa unamandla. Bese kuthi uma uhamba wenze impilo yakho ejwayelekile bese kwenzeka into embi ejwayele ukukuthinta, ngeke ikuthinte ngoba ufana nokuthi, 'Ngangiboshwe ngamaketanga ku-Hellevator futhi kwakukhona umbulali we-serial nge-chainsaw futhi. Ngiphumelele.'”

Eceleni kwakhe, uJen ekufaniseni omnyama (uSylvia uveza ukuthi "bangamawele" kule sizini) unikina ikhanda.

Uthi: “Ngibheka ukuthi abangenele umncintiswano kufanele benzeni futhi ngifana, akunjalo. “Isihlalo sami yisona esihamba phambili endlini futhi angidayiseli ngalutho.”

Kusukela egunjini lokulawula, amawele akabonakali nje eklolodela kodwa ehlukumeza abaqhudelana nawo, ngezikhathi ezithile eciphiza izinkinobho namaswishi ukuze enze izinselele ziphazamise kakhulu futhi zesabe.

Futhi amawele—aziwa ngochungechunge lokwenza amafilimu ahlanganisa “uMariya WaseMelika,” “Bona Okubi 2” kanye nengoma esalindiwe ye-“Rabid” ka-David Cronenberg—bayawazi ama-horror tropes.

“Ngingasho futhi ukuthi le sizini imnyama kakhulu futhi inzima kakhulu futhi inomoya omubi kakhulu,” kusho uJen. “Ngakho-ke kumnandi kithina.”
