Manje usekhona. ” Uqhubeka echaza ukuthi ingqondo kaNorman yayihlala kanjani abantu ababili abehlukene, obakhe nobunina, nobuntu obuvelele baphumelela; lokho kukanina.

Ngokungafani nabashintshi nabesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa abesilisa nabesifazane lokhu akusona isinqumo esathathelwa ohlangothini lukaNorman, kepha ukuxilongwa kwezokwelapha kwe-dissociative identity disorder kwakungaqondakali ngokuphelele njengoba kunjalo nanamuhla, futhi umehluko phakathi kwabesilisa abesilisa nabesifazane, abesilisa nabesilisa nabesilisa nabesifazane. Iminyaka yama-1960 kwakuyisikhathi esasithatha ubungqingili njengesifo, futhi kwaze kwaba ngo-1987 lapho sakhishwa ngokuphelele kwi-DSM njengesifo sengqondo.

Ama-1983's slasher Ikamu Lokulala mhlawumbe kungenye yezimpawu ezilimaza kakhulu zomlingiswa we-transgender emlandweni wohlobo olwesabekayo. Ngemuva kokusinda engozini yomndeni lapho umfowabo nobaba wakhe bashona khona bobabili, u-Angela ongaphambi kwentsha uthunyelwa ukuyohlala nomalumekazi wakhe. Ngenkathi sithi amahloni entombazane ethule nezindlela ezi-mousy kokuhlangenwe nakho kwayo kwangaphambilini kanye nomnakekeli we-neurotic, asiqondi ngokuphelele ubukhulu besimo kuze kube sekupheleni kwefilimu. Emizuzwini emihlanu edlule kudalulwe ukuthi kwakungeyena u-Angela owasinda enhlekeleleni yomndeni, kodwa ngumfowabo uPeter.

Ususa ubunikazi bakhe bese ephoqa impilo yowesifazane kuye.

Ekubukeni okulandelayo, ukwazi ukuthi ungubani ngempela umbulali kwenza ukubulala kuthuse kakhulu futhi kube ngumfanekiso. Eziningi zokubulala ngandlela thile zixhunyaniswa nokusongelwa ngokocansi "kuka-Angela". UJudy, inkampane enhle egqamisa amabele akhe amakhulu kanye namaqhinga abesifazane ukuze athole indlela yakhe, wasongela umzimba ka-Angela onesifuba esifubeni. Kamuva intombazane ihlangana nokushona kwayo lapho ithola insimbi eshisayo esongelayo kulokho esisele ukuthi sicabange ukuthi isitho sayo sangasese yizithunzi esizibona zikhonjiswe odongeni lwekhabethe nokukhala kwegazi okulandelayo okulandelayo. Ukuthi ngabe lokhu kuyisenzo sokucindezelwa umona wesilisa kusukela ubabekazi ka-Angela wamqola, noma mhlawumbe indlela yombhali yokuziphindiselela enkambini ekhonjiswe njenge-slut yekhempu, asisoze sazi.

Lapho eqokwa, ukubulawa kuka-Angela okuningi kungaxhunyaniswa nokudideka kwakhe maqondana nobulili bakhe. Umpheki wekhempu, okushiwo kakhulu ukuthi ungumuntu ozibandakanya ocansini kanye nesilo sangempela nosongo kulabo abasenkampini, uhlangabezana nokushona kwakhe ngemuva kokwenza intuthuko enganeni esencane futhi ethandekayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngemuva kokubona ubudlelwano bobulili obuhlukile phakathi komeluleki wekamu uMeg nomnikazi wekamu osemdala kakhulu uMel, u-Angela ubabulala bobabili.

Njengoba i-movie ifinyelela umvuthwandaba wayo ongalindelekile, ukubulawa kukamper Paul, konke kufakwa ngombono. UPaul wayewukuphela kwenkamba owayenomusa ku-Angela, futhi empeleni wakhombisa ukumkhathalela ngokweqiniso. Izenzo zakhe zazingezona inhlamba noma ukwehlisa isithunzi, wayemsulwa ngempela ekuvezeni imizwa yakhe. Kodwa-ke, iminyaka yokulungiswa kokuthatha isikhundla sikadadewabo ibiphikisana nekhemistri yangaphakathi yokuzalwa ungumfana, konke okwavela kulokhu kubulawa kokugcina kwe-movie.

Njengoba kwenzeke ngaphandle kwesikrini, asazi kahle ukuthi isimo besinjani ngezikhathi zokugcina zikaPaul.
