Ama-akhawunti weqiniso wempilo yezilo eziningi zangempela ahlala kwemithombo yezindaba phakathi nawo wonke amashumi eminyaka, imvamisa izikhathi eziphindwe kakhulu ukudlula ukufa kwazo. Noma ngabe kumabhayisikobho, ezincwadini, ezinhlelweni zethelevishini, noma kumadokhumentari, izindaba ezesabekayo zokubulawa kwangempela kwempilo kanye nababulali ababulalayo kanye nokwethuka abakudedela emhlabeni kuyaqhubeka ukuqhubeka. Omunye wababulali abadume kakhulu owake waphila kwabezindaba selokhu atholwa enecala lobugebengu bakhe nangemva kokushona kwakhe nguTheodore Robert Bundy.

Indaba engemuva kwempilo yombulali we-serial Ted Bundy iye yafiswa amafomethi amaningi eminyakeni edlule kusukela ekukholelweni kwakhe, kufaka phakathi ama-movie, ithelevishini nezincwadi. Okunye ukuvezwa okuphawuleka kakhulu kwaba nguMark Harmon kumdlalo we-TV ka-1986 Isihambi Sangamabomu. Okwenzelwe i-movie yethelevishini kwaphuma eminyakeni emithathu ngaphambi kokubulawa kukaBundy kanti abesifazane bavele babamba ongezansi ngombulali ohlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bobabili esikrinini kanye nalowo ohlezi ekufeni. Eqinisweni, ibhokisi leposi likaBundy lasejele lalichichima izincwadi njengoba ayelindele isigwebo sakhe esasizokwenziwa ngabesifazane abadlulisa ukukhanga kwabo besuka eHarmon baya eBundy.

UHarmon wayengumuntu oshaya amashumi ayisishiyagalombili eminyaka, futhi ukuzibophezela kwakhe ngumbulali odume kabi wabulala ababukeli ku-sadist yezocansi yangempela. Manje uZac Efron umenyezelwe njengamanje ukuthi uzoveza owesilisa osolwa ngokubulala abesifazane abangaphezu kwekhulu, emdlalweni ozimele kaJoe Berlinger Ababi Kakhulu, Ababi Ngokuthusayo NeVile.  Kulabo kini enimbone nje kuphela ebuntwaneni bakhe nasezikhundleni zobusha esiteshini seDisney, ungahle uzibuze ukuthi ngabe lesi yisinqumo esifanele yini.

Ngamantombazane asemasha aziphonsa ku-Efron osemncane e Isikolo samabanga aphezulu i-Musical futhi-ke futhi ku-adaption ye-movie ka- 2007 ye- Hairspray, ingabe umlando kufanele uziphinde? Njengoba kusontekile njengoba kuzwakala, ingabe ukukhetha ukusakaza u-Efron oneminyaka engama-29 manje kuzokwenza umbulali obulalayo uTed Bundy futhi, manje esizukulwaneni esisha samashumi amabili nambili?

Masingakhohlwa, uBundy wangempela wayenabalandeli bakhe nabasekeli bakhe ababenamaqembu amancane, amahle, futhi azinikele ahlala ngokuzithoba ngemuva kwakhe enkantolo nsuku zonke zecala. Noma ngabe azi kahle ukuthi amacala akhe ayenzani ngaphambi, ngesikhathi nangemva kokugwetshwa, abesifazane bahlala bedonsekile futhi bezinikele kumbulali obulalayo. Okuxakayo ukuthi laba besifazane abasebasha babevamise ukufanisa incazelo engokomzimba yezisulu zabanukubeza ngokocansi no “T.”

U-Efron waqala ukuthola udumo ngawo-2006 Isikole samabanga aphezulu Musical, okubuye kwaveza iziqubulo ezimbili lapho naye adlale khona. Njalo into yothando emsebenzini wakhe, ukubukeka okuhle kobuntwana buka-Efron nokuziphatha kwakhe okuhle kumenza afanelane ne-engeli engenacala uBundy azoyisebenzisa ukuheha izisulu zakhe zesifazane ezingalindele. Kodwa-ke, umlingisi osemncane akakaze athathe indima ekhombisa intukuthelo, ulaka, udlame, kanye nosizi. Ngokunikezwa kokuqhubeka nokucula nokudansa, abalandeli bayangabaza ukukhetha kukamqondisi uJoe Berlinger.

IBerlinger inomlando omude wokuqondisa amafilimu agxile ebugebengwini beqiniso, mhlawumbe okugqame kakhulu ngaye Paradise Lost i-trilogy; idokodo eliyingxenye emi-3 mayelana nendaba yokuphila eyiqiniso ngemuva kwecala laseWest Memphis Three. Akungabazeki ukuthi le phrojekthi entsha izogxila kakhulu eqinisweni, futhi uma ilandela ifomethi eyaziwa ngayo ngeke ibe khona isikhashana, futhi ngeke ilibaleke. Umsebenzi wakhe uyahlupha, futhi ngaphandle kokuqukethwe okubuhlungu ngaso sonke isikhathi kukudonsela emuva kokunye ukubukwa.

Akungabazeki Ababi Kakhulu, Ababi Ngokuthusayo NeVile kuzoba isiqeshana sefilimu esikhazimulayo esivela kumqondisi obonayo uBerlinger, futhi okwamanje kufanele sizame futhi sikumise ukungakholelwa kwethu ku-Efron ukuba yindoda ehamba phambili. UBerlinger unamava futhi unethalente ngemuva kwekhamera, kanye nesihogo somxoxi wezindaba, ngakho-ke uma ekholelwa ukuthi lesi sinhliziyo esilihlaza okwesibhakabhaka sesizukulwane seminyaka eyinkulungwane singaba omunye wababulali ababi kakhulu nabesabekayo eMelika abake baziwa, siyamkweleta ithuba lokukufakazela kithi.
