Leʻaleʻa Vicious ʻo ia ka ʻoihana hou loa mai nā poʻe maikaʻi ma Black Fawn Films, a he mea hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū weliweli ia. Hoʻolauleʻa ia i ka ʻano weliweli - a me ka poʻe a pau i aloha iā ia - me ka leʻaleʻa alelo a me ka nui o ka gooey gore. Lawe ʻo ia iā ʻoe mai ka hanana mua (e ka ʻāʻī, ikaika) a lele i ka holo leʻaleʻa kolohe ʻo ia kahi mālama maoli no nā ʻano puaʻa. Kahi hoʻomākeʻaka laced o nā pahi a me nā knuckles, Leʻaleʻa Vicious he puhi loa.

Kau i Minnesota, 1983, Leʻaleʻa Vicious ukali iā Joel (Evan Marsh, ʻO Shazama!), kahi mea hōʻino kiʻi ʻoniʻoni caustic ʻaʻole ʻo ia e pining malū no kāna hoa noho. Ma hope o kahi pō kaumaha - kaumaha - inu, ʻike ʻo Joel iā ia i waenakonu o kahi hui kōkua pilikino no nā mea pepehi kanaka serial. Pono ʻo ia e kāwili, a i ʻole e ʻike ʻia a kū i ke alo o nā hopena kolohe. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i hoʻokahakaha ʻia ko Joel mākaukau e like me kāna makemake, a hele wikiwiki ka hema i ka hema. 

Kahi kēia i ke kiʻi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni no ka mea kākau ʻO James Villeneuve, a ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia e hele mai nei e piʻo nei. He cheeky ka moʻoʻōlelo, ʻike iā ia iho, a he hoʻomākeʻaka mau (lawelawe nui ʻia e ka hana a Marsh), a e nānā pono wau i kāna mau papahana e hiki mai ana. Hoʻohui ʻia me ko Cody Callahan kuhikuhi ikaika a me ko Jeff Maher cinematography stellar (maikaʻi loa ka papa ʻana a noho wau no nā neon āpau), Leʻaleʻa Vicious hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hana maikaʻi ʻia. ʻIke hope mākou ʻO kā Callahan lāua ʻo Maher hana ma ka pīhoihoi pīhoihoi, ʻO ka lumi Oak, a me kā lākou neʻe leo kani e hōʻoia ai i kēia mau kāne i kahi loli koʻikoʻi. 

He leʻaleʻa ka mele a Steph Copeland i kona hoʻohana ʻana i ka pōhaku synth 1980s e like me kāna kahua pāʻani ponoʻī. ʻO kēlā me kēia mea aloha i ka weliweli synth e hoʻomana i kēia helu. Ke hoʻomaka ke kahe o ke koko, wehe ia i kahi kini holoʻokoʻa weliweli. Nā hopena - na Shaun Hunter - ʻoluʻolu. Ma ke ʻano he gory e like me ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻaʻole nalowale maoli kēlā huaʻōlelo “leʻaleʻa” i ke poʻo inoa o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. E pōʻai paha wau i kēlā ʻōlelo i kēia loiloi, no ka mea, ʻo ia nō kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻOluʻolu maʻemaʻe wale. 

ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ke ʻano kikoʻī o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni āpau - ʻike maopopo ka kime ʻEleʻele Fawn pehea e ʻohi ai iā lākou, a mālama lākou (me ke akamai) iā lākou a puni. ʻO ka hopena, he papahana hui like ʻole i manaʻo ʻole e like me kahi huina o kāna mau ʻāpana, he hoʻopau piha.

Maikaʻi loa ka poʻe hana keaka i kā lākou kuleana; ʻoiai ka hānai ʻai loaʻa i nā mākaʻi bumbling ka laina laina kūpono. ʻOiaʻiʻo, maikaʻi loa kēia kime. Pāʻani ʻo Marsh i ka flabbergasted a hoʻokahakaha ʻia i kahi ala aloha loa (a hōʻike loa) i kumu e aʻa ai ʻoe nona e lana ka manaʻo i loko o kēia pō pōʻeleʻele loa.

Amber Goldfarb (Kahea mamao 5, Helix) ʻoiai ʻo Carrie ʻoluʻolu, mālie, ʻohiʻohi, a make make make ʻole; maopopo leʻa he leʻaleʻa ka Goldfarb i ke kuleana (ma hope o kēlā ʻano kila a me ka ʻōwili ʻana o ka maka). Akā ʻo Ari Millen (ʻO ka lumi Oak) ʻo Bob i ʻaihue i ka hōʻike. Ma waena o kāna inā-Patrick-Bateman-did-Flashdance hulahula helu (ʻoiaʻiʻo ... a ʻae, holo ʻiʻo ia) a me kāna hāʻawi laina koʻikoʻi, ua hōʻoia hou ʻo Millen hiki iā ia ke kauoha maoli i kahi hanana. 

ʻAkea paha wau ma aneʻi, no ka mea ma ke ʻano he mea kākau nūhou weliweli (ʻo wau e hoʻohana pono ʻole i kēlā huaʻōlelo), Leʻaleʻa Vicious i ʻōlelo mai iaʻu ma kahi pae molekiola. ʻO ke kamaʻilio - hoʻokahi monologue, mai Tony ka cop - kūkākūkā i ke ʻano ma nā ʻōlelo maoli e hoʻohui i kahi ʻano meta i ka mea i kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻia ma ka ihu. Hoʻokomo kekahi o nā mea pepehi kanaka i ka pale maka, hāpai i ka machete, a loaʻa pinepine ka pōʻino i ka waiho ʻana i hoʻokahi mea pakele. Makemake kekahi i ka lole me he clown lā. Hāʻawi ʻo Bob i kahi ʻahuʻulu huluhulu a loaʻa kahi hōʻuluʻulu o nā kāleka ʻoihana. ʻO ka mea kamaʻāina i ka ʻano weliweli i kekahi ʻano e mahalo i nā homages. 

ʻO kekahi kumu pilikino o ka mahalo ka hopena. Ka mea aʻu e haʻi ʻole ai i kekahi mea, no ka mea ʻaʻole wau he monster, akā e haʻi wau i kēlā Leʻaleʻa Vicious ʻaʻole e hāʻule i loko o nā pahele haʻilula o ka mea "pono" e hana ai i ka epilog o kahi moʻolelo aloha aloha ʻole. No kēlā mea, mahalo wau. 

I kēia manawa, loaʻa ka ikehu nui a ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu i ka wikiwiki i kekona. Nui nā mea e ʻōlelo ai Leʻaleʻa Vicious, akā maoli, inā ua heluhelu ʻoe i kēia mamao, a laila ʻike ʻoe e hele wale ʻoe e ʻike iā ʻoe iho. E leʻaleʻa loa ʻoe. A he kolohe ia. Leʻaleʻa kolohe. Ma laila ʻoe e hele ai. 

Leʻaleʻa Vicious ke pāʻani nei i kēia manawa ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ʻO Sitges Film Festival.
