Umlingisikazi u-Alexandra Essoe (Amehlo Anenkanyezi) kumenza angene embhalweni wesici sefilimu no-Zach Gayne's directorial debut, Umabhebhana wasekhaya. Kuyi-horror-thriller yaseCanada enempilo nejabulisayo ehlanganisa izimpande zayo ezijulile esigabeni sefilimu ye-indie. 

Umabhebhana wasekhaya Ulandela uMichelle (Essoe), umklami wezangaphakathi osemncane oboshelwa ebudlelwaneni obungazelelwe nobunobuthi obukhulu noLinda (Precious Chong) ocwazimulayo. Ngemuva kokuthi laba bobabili benokuxhumana okufushane ejimini yabo ehlanganyelwe, uLinda uthola uMichelle esitolo sendawo sekhofi futhi uzimisele ngokuba ngabangane abasheshayo. Umdlandla kaLinda usheshe wehle ekuthambekeleni ngenkathi uMichelle exakekile ezama ukuthola izaba zokuhlonipha. Ukungakhululeki kukaMichelle kuphenduka ukwesaba njengoba uLinda ekhulisa ubuhlanya, ebamba uMichelle endlini yakhe ukuze asonte tête-à-tête.

Umabhebhana wasekhaya ihlola ukubekezelelana kwethu nokubekezela, sibuze ukuthi kunini lapho silalela khona lezo zinsimbi zokuxwayisa futhi sibone lawo mafulegi abomvu. Ngabe sisho nje ukuthi "hlonipha ngenhlonipho" bese sikhipha isihogo lapho? Akuyona impendulo elula (ikakhulukazi emphakathini waseCanada; ukuhlonipha isimo sethu semvelo).

UMichelle akazi ukuthi kunini lapho kufanele athi cha, okwenza uLinda aqhubeke nobuntu bakhe. Uzivula ngokwabelana ngemininingwane esondelene ebanga ukuthi uMichelle anciphise njengoba ehlukunyezwa yile nqwaba yethemba. Kulula ukuzwa ukungaphatheki kahle kukaMichelle - uLinda wabelana nge okuningi, ngokushesha okukhulu - futhi akuyona indlela elula yokuzwelana naye kulesi simo esingesihle.

Kunomzuzu “wesibhamu sikaChekhov” njengoba uLinda ehola uMichelle engena kwakhe, okuzobukwa ngumbukeli ohlakaniphile. Lo mthetho-mgomo uthi uma - esenzweni sokuqala - unesibhamu odongeni, kufanele sikhishwe kulo mthetho olandelayo. I-sledgehammer eboshelwe odongeni isebenza njengesibonakaliso sokukhula kukaLinda kanye nenqubekela phambili yakhe kuze kube manje (okwenza uzibuze ukuthi wayenjani ngaphambi kwamahora okwelashwa kanye nokuqhamuka komuntu siqu). Yinto enhle kakhulu engekho endaweni yokuthi ayikho indlela engeke ibuye izosebenzela injongo ethile enobudlova. 

Ngayo yonke imizamo yayo eqotho, Umabhebhana wasekhaya ukhubeka ngokuqina okuqinile nokuqondiswa okunamandla. Iskripthi sivelele lapha, futhi senza ukuphakamisa okunzima okukhulu. Iqukethe ukwethembeka okuthile kanye namahlaya we-quippy empeleni athandeka impela. 

U-Essoe uwela ngokwemvelo endimeni kaMichelle; kulula ukuzwelana nomlingiswa njengoba ugoba kanye nezigaba zokuqala zohambo lwakhe. UChong ugculisa kakhulu endimeni yakhe, uncike ku-off-kilter kaLinda, amandla omuntu. Uyazisunduzela ngqo emaphethelweni futhi azulazule lapho, azulazule ngokuyingozi phakathi kwe-maniac engenabungozi negcwele ngokugcwele. 

Ukuhamba kancane kuyisendle, ngenombolo yomculo yesenzo esingeyona impromptu engenangqondo kangako ukuthi empeleni iyinhlobo yemisebenzi. Isenzo sizizwa siphindaphindwa ngokweqile, okuthi - ngenkathi kuphephe kakhulu - singenzi ithoni lezinto zangempela. 

Lokho kusho ukuthi, kuyaqabula ukubona i-thriller egxile cishe ngokuphelele kwabesifazane ababili nasebudlelwaneni babo. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi Umabhebhana wasekhaya igxile kuLinda, umlingisi osanda kwedlula iminyaka yakhe yobusha, kepha amandla akhe obusha agcinwa futhi enza ihaba ngendlela evame ukukhuthazwa ngamabhodi ePinterest nobuciko beziqeshana ezinamathe. Omazibuthe basefrijini abafunda ukuthi “Abesifazane abaziphethe kahle bavame ukuqopha umlando” futhi baphuze imicu yokuhlotshiswa ehlotshiswe nge- “Liquid therapy” ingcolisa indlu yakhe, imdwebe ngesibani esingenacala futhi “esimnandi” esidukisa ngokukhohlisayo.

Kukhiqizwe ngesabelomali esincane, Umabhebhana wasekhaya ihlukile eCanada. AbaseToronto kungenzeka babone ezinye zezindawo zokuqopha amafilimu, kepha, ngaphezu kwalokho, isithunzi esisayinwe eCanada yikhona okuholele kulo lonke usizi lukaMichelle. Kunamathuba amaningana okuthi ahambe (noma angangeni kwasekuqaleni), kepha yena - njengomakhelwane kaLinda - uzishaya indiva amafulegi abomvu azulazula phambi kwakhe ngokuthanda ukudlala kanye nokuthi cha. Kuyindaba eyisixwayiso ekuzibandakanyeni nabantu ongabazi.

Ngenkathi ingenayo ipholishi yefilimu yesitudiyo, Umabhebhana wasekhaya yindaba ejabulisayo futhi esheshayo (ingena ngaphansi nje kwemizuzu engama-75), igayeke kalula njengesidlo santambama. I-cinematografi, ukuqondiswa, nokwenziwa kahle yilokho nje ongakulindela kwifilimu encane ye-indie, kepha kukhona okuthandekayo ngakho. Uma ufuna ukunweba umjikelezo wakho we-cinematic social ngale kwama-studio hits kanye nezihloko ze-indie ezidumile, yinike ithuba, ungathola umngane omusha.
