ʻO "The Devil's Candy," kahi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli ʻoniʻoni mai ka luna ʻo Tasmanian ʻo Sean Byrne o ka makahiki 2015 i mahalo nui ʻia me "The Loved Ones."

Ma aneʻi e lawe ʻo ia i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa i ke ʻano e mōhai ana i ke koko a me nā ʻū o kāna hana hoʻomaka a hoʻololi iā ia me ka lewa a me ke ʻano ʻoihana. ʻAʻole kaumaha ka hopena e like me ka nui o nā mea haʻalulu kupua, akā pono ke nānā inā ʻike wale i ka hiki ke hōʻike ʻia kēia luna i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

Pili kēia moʻolelo i ka Hellman, kahi ʻohana o nā mākua ʻuhane manuahi a me kā lākou kaikamahine ʻōpio i kūʻai i hale ma kahi mamao o ke kaona ʻo Texas.

Pono ka ʻona waiwai ma lalo o ke kānāwai e hoʻomaopopo iā lākou i ka make ʻana i ka moʻolelo o ka home, i hoʻokani ʻia i ke kaʻina wehe o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, akā ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi i nā kikoʻī ʻē aʻe.

ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻolilo i ke kumukūʻai nui, neʻe lākou i loko o ka hale ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka mamao o ke kaona o ke kaona ma mua o ka ʻoluʻolu o ka makuahine.

He hoʻoholo maikaʻi ʻole kēia no ka mea ʻo ka mea pepehi kanaka mua ʻo Ray Smilie (Pruitt Taylor Vince) ke holoholo nei a puni ke kaona e hoʻolohe ana i ka diabolō mele ʻana i ka palapala hemolele i loko o kona poʻo e hiki ai iā ia ke squelch wale nō ma ke pāʻani ʻana i nā riff kīkā nui a me ka luku ʻana i nā keiki.

Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i kona hale kahiko e hōʻehaʻeha i ka ʻohana ʻoiai ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻo makuakāne e ʻike i ke kumu o ka ʻeleʻele ʻana o ka hopena i kekahi mau hana noʻeau haunaele maoli naʻe.

ʻAʻole ka lele ka makaʻu o ka Diabolō's Candy, ua kolo ʻo ia i waho o ke kīwī, akā ua lawe ʻo Bryne i kona manawa e hāʻawi i kāna poʻe limahana i kahi manawa e hōʻikeʻike i kā lākou hana ʻo kāna kāne kāne ʻo Jesse (Ethan Embry) e ʻeha ana. ma o ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana, nā hakakā noʻeau a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka makuakāne / kaikamahine.

ʻO kā lāua kaikamahine ʻo Zooey a Kiara Glasco i hoʻokani pono ai i kāna wā kipi, akā ʻaʻohe mea e ʻaʻa ai ʻoiai e ʻae ana kona mau mākua ma mua o ka hapanui.

He mea pena hakakā ʻo Pāpā me nā manaʻo nui ʻole mahalo ʻia ʻoiai ʻo Astrid (Shiri Appleby) e hana nei i kāna mea ponoʻī a no kekahi kumu hiki ʻole ke kiʻi i kā lākou kaikamahine mai ke kula; hāʻule kēlā kuleana i luna o makuakāne a i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke kiʻi i kēlā kūpono.

ʻAʻole paha e hewa ka luna hoʻokele iaʻu no ka kuhikuhi ʻana i kāna alakaʻi kāne he ʻano like ʻole me Matthew McConoughey, a ʻoi aku paha, ka helehelena Anglo-centric o Iesu Kristo. A he mea kūpono ke mahalo maʻalahi ʻoe i ka maikaʻi a me ka hewa (A ʻaʻole maʻalahi; ʻo Jesse Hellman ka inoa o ka makuakāne) o ka moʻolelo.

E hele ʻo Jesse mai ka lawehala ʻole ʻole, acrylic stown conceptualist i kahi kāne ʻohana huikau i hoʻohihi ʻia e nā hihiʻo weliweli. Ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻo ia e pale aku i kona ʻohana mai Ray Smilie i ʻaʻahu ʻia i ke kapa komo ʻulaʻula e ʻūlū nei i kāna kaikamahine me ka malintent a me ka pahi olo nui.

Hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia kēia haunaele a pau ma o Embry, e like me ka heihei ʻana a Ray e kāʻili i kāna kaikamahine, aia nō hoʻi kahi wikiwiki i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana no ke aha e loaʻa koke ai nā hihiʻo a pena i nā daimonio ma luna o nā pepepe

ʻO ke kaikamahine, me he mea lā, he mea kīnā ʻole ʻia i ke kaiāulu, makemake i nā metala waikawa a me nā pōhaku ʻoʻoleʻa ma luna o nā mea ʻē aʻe. Pili ʻo ia i ka hoʻolālā a loaʻa kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka lipine duct, akā ʻo kēia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a Embry a ʻike ʻo Byrne ma laila kahi e waiho ai kāna kukui.

ʻAʻole like me ka hoʻomaka mua o ka porn hoʻomāinoino ʻia ʻo The Loved Ones, kahi e hele mai ai ka mea weliweli mai nā sociopaths e hauʻoli nei i ka hana mutilation, hoʻohaʻahaʻa, a me ka cannibalism, ʻo ka Diabolō's Candy kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe kahi e lawe ai i ka cinematography, ke ʻano o ke kiʻi a me ke kani i ke ʻano o ke alakaʻi. haʻi i nā mea nānā ʻaʻole paha he mea hiki ʻole iā ia ke hoʻokau me ka hoʻopiʻi weliweli.

In Nā Mea Aloha, Hāʻawi ʻo Byrne i ka hoʻohanohano iā Stanley Kubrick's ka Kealohilani me kāna hoʻohana ʻana i ka pepa kiʻi kīhini kīhini i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ma hope o ke kāʻei kapu Overview.

Maʻaneʻi e waiho ʻia kāna mau kūmole i kāna hāmeʻa alakaʻi. Pono ʻo Embry e hoʻohele i kekahi kumuwaiwai o Jack Torrance no Byrne e hana i ka pilina. Maliʻa paha he hoʻokupu kēia ʻaʻole wale iā Kubrick, akā ʻo Nicholson.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole e hāʻawi ʻo “The Devil's Candy” iā ʻoe i nā moeʻuhane, maopopo ia me kēlā me kēia puʻupuʻu i hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia a me ka hana a Embry, ʻo Byrne ka maestro ma hope o ka pahu e alakaʻi ana i nā ʻāpana āpau o nā mea me ka lima hiki a paʻa. A ʻo nā mea a pau e nānā ana i ka ʻōpeʻapeʻa, aia i ka pitch-perfect loa o kā lākou ʻāpana.

Ke hele nei wau mai "The Devil's Candy," ua waiho wau i ka noʻonoʻo me ka mea aʻu i pīhoihoi nui ai; ʻO kā Byrne papa kuhikuhi hou aʻe a i ʻole kā Embry kuleana hou.

ʻO “The Devil's Candy” kahi mea hoʻohiwahiwa i kuhikuhi ʻia e kekahi nāna e holo pono i kahi moku paʻa.
