Ko Hulu ʻāina monster ʻo ia paha kekahi o nā nā hōʻike hoʻohaʻahaʻa nui ʻia o 2020. Ke hōʻike nei i nā moʻo nui, ke kanaka a me nā mea kupua, e haʻalele kēia hōʻike iā ʻoe i nā wahi ʻeleʻele o ʻAmelika, a i loko o ʻoe iho. 

Hōʻike nā anthology weliweli i ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka makemake i nā makahiki, e like me Aniani ʻeleʻele, Ko Hulu I ka Pouli, a me nā reboots o E hiamoe ana? Aie? a Pōkā. Hāʻawi ʻia i ke poʻo inoa, ua hele wau i kēia hōʻike e manaʻo nei i nā moʻo schlocky CGI me kahi hoʻolālā hemahema, akā ua hōʻike kēia hōʻike i kēlā mau mea i manaʻo ʻia. 

Mai kuhi hewa ʻoe, nā mōneka o ʻāina monster Aia ma laila, me nā zombies, nā daimonio, a me nā mermaids weliweli akā ʻoi aku ka pinepine ma mua o ka lawelawe ʻana ma ke ʻano he kumu kāʻei kua i nā kānaka ʻo ia nā moʻo nui. Ke noʻonoʻo nei i nā poʻo inoa Episode, i kapa ʻia ma hope o nā kūlanakauhale kikoʻī ma ʻAmelika, hōʻike ka hōʻike ʻo ʻAmelika ʻo ia ʻo Monsterland. 

Hana ʻia e Mary Laws (mea kākau no ʻO ka Neon Demon a ʻO ke kahuna) a hana ʻia e Annapurna Pictures, hele mai kēia pūʻulu i Hulu i ʻOkakopa 2020 ma lalo o ka radar o ka hapa nui. 

Hoʻololi ʻia ka hōʻike mai ʻO ka hōʻiliʻili moʻolelo pōkole ʻo Nathan Ballingrud, Nā Monsters ʻAmelika ʻAkau ʻAkau: Nā moʻolelo, a e like me ka puke, kēlā me kēia ʻāpana he moʻolelo haʻalulu ʻokoʻa e hōʻike ana i kahi "monster" ʻokoʻa.

Hōʻike ia i kahi papa inoa o nā mea hoʻokūkū hōkū, e like me Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), ʻO Taylor Schilling (ʻO ʻalani ka ʻEleʻele Hou, Ka Prodigy), Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi), a me Nicole Beharie (Hilahila, Pōhaku Hiamoe).

ʻO nā luna hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū weliweli like, e hōʻike ana iā Nicolas Pesce (Ka huhū, nā maka o koʻu makuahine), Babak Anvari (Ma lalo o ke Kai, ʻeha), Kevin Phillips (Nā manawa pouli Super), a me Craig William Macneill (ʻO ke Keiki (2015), Lizzie).  

E like me ka mea e manaʻo ʻia mai kahi hōʻike moʻokalaleo, kupaianaha kekahi mau ʻāpana a ʻo kekahi ... ʻaʻole. ʻAʻole lākou e hilinaʻi i ka makaʻu lele a i ʻole ka hoʻohana nui ʻana o nā mea nunui, a ke nānā nei i ka lawe ʻana i kahi hana keaka maikaʻi akā hoʻoweliweli loa i ka pākaukau e noho ai ʻoe a noʻonoʻo i ka hopena o kēia mau moʻolelo. 

A ʻoiai paha he lapuwale ke poʻo inoa, ʻo nā moʻolelo kekahi mea akā, e haʻi pinepine nei i nā kaʻao kaumaha a me nā mea hoʻonāukiuki e kū nei ma ʻAmelika i kēlā me kēia lā. I kēia manawa, like ka hōʻike me 'O ka'ōuli'ōuli akā hoʻohana i nā tropes weliweli a me nā monster ma kahi o sci-fi e haʻi i kāna mau moʻolelo o ke ʻano pouli o nā kānaka. 

Ma lalo, e hele au i kahi hohonu i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana a hoʻonoho iā lākou i hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā ʻāpana e piʻi aʻe ma luna o ke koena a i ʻole e pique nui i kou hoihoi

Ke kūlana nei i nā ʻāpana o ʻāina monster

1. Plainfield, Ilinoi

Inā he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kēia, aia paha ia i ka piko o ka makahiki iaʻu. ʻO kēia moʻolelo zombie ʻano pīhoihoi a weliweli hoʻi o kahi pilina koʻikoʻi a paʻakikī hoʻi e ʻakaʻaka ai ʻoe, e uē ana, e kaniʻuhū ana, a e maʻi nei paha.

Hāʻawi lāua ʻo Taylor Schilling lāua ʻo Roberta Colindrez i nā hana kupaianaha ma ke ʻano he kāne male, ʻo Kate lāua ʻo Shawn, i hui pū i kā lāua hui kūkākūkā koleke. Ua ʻehaʻeha ʻo Kate mai nā pilikia olakino noʻonoʻo e ʻaʻa i ka hiki i kāna wahine e mālama iā ia me kā lāua keiki pū. Hoʻopau ke kūpilikiʻi i kahi hana weliweli i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi manawa nāwaliwali no Shawn e ola ai ʻo ia i ke koena o kona ola. 

ʻOiai ma ke ʻano he moʻolelo aloha kaumaha, kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona o kēia ʻāpana e pīhoihoi maoli, a hana piha me nā alakaʻi ʻelua. Ma ke ʻano he zombie moʻolelo kuʻuna ʻole, hoʻomālamalama maoli ia i waena o nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe.

2. Port Fourchon, Louisiana

ʻO kēia ka ʻāpana mua o ʻāina monster, a ʻaʻole hoʻonele i ka manawa e paʻi aku iā ʻoe i ka maka me kekahi trauma. ʻO Toni (Kaitlyn Dever) kahi wahine lawelawe ʻōpio ʻōpio e hakakā nei i ka hānai ʻana i kahi keiki poino lolo. Ke ʻaʻa nei ʻo ia e kaulike i ka hana ʻana i kāna hana haʻahaʻa me ka loaʻa pū ʻana o kekahi e makemake e hānai keiki 

Ke hele nei ka malihini ma ke kaona, noi aku iā Toni inā hiki iā ia ke noho ma kona hale no hoʻokahi pō no $ 1000 ma muli o ka nele o nā hōkele ma kahi kokoke. Ma ia pō, hāʻawi ka malihini iā ​​Toni i kahi hoʻomaha mai kāna ola paʻa i hoʻololi i kāna kuanaʻike. 

ʻO ka hana a Dever ma ke ʻano he wahine ʻōpio me he mea lā ua paʻa ʻo ia i ke ola a he chillingly pololei a relatable a ʻaihue kēia hanana. ʻO ka "hana" malihini a ka malihini hoʻokalakupua āna e kaʻana like ai me Toni he mea weliweli a manaʻo ʻole ʻia kekahi.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, nui ka hoʻolālā o kēia māhele a ʻaʻole hele wikiwiki i nā mea mana. A ke hana ia, manaʻo iki i kahi bakena. Ma mua o kēlā, hana kēia ʻāpana i kahi moʻolelo koʻikoʻi a paʻakikī hoʻi o kahi makuahine ʻōpio me ka hopena weliweli weliweli. 

3. Nu Ioka, Nu Ioka

ʻO kēia ʻāpana kekahi o nā moʻolelo demoni ʻona i hana hou loa ʻia aʻu i ʻike ai. Ke hoʻāʻo nei kahi CEO ʻoihana aila e pale i ka hewa no ka ninini aila i hoʻokumu ʻia e kāna ʻoihana. ʻO kāna mea kōkua, e hoʻāʻo nei e hana i loko o ka ʻoihana e hoʻololi i nā hana kaiapuni hoʻopilikia, grapples me ke koho e hoʻokahe i ka ʻike i ka nūpepa e hōʻike ana i ka mālama ʻole o ka ʻoihana. ʻOiai ma lalo o ke kaomi mai ka nūpepa, lilo ka CEO i mea hoʻomana pohihihi e aʻo ai no ka apocalypse kokoke. 

Inā he nīnūnē nui ka hoʻololi o ke aniau iā ʻoe, e kani kēia kani. Hoʻonani maoli nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā nīnau a ka ʻāpana i lawe mai ai weliweli loa. 

4. Ke Kahawai Hao, ʻIlika

Ua ʻaihue ʻo Kelly Marie Tran i ka hōʻike ma kēia māhele koʻikoʻi o ʻāina monster e like me ka launa kino kūpilikiʻi ʻo Lauren, ka mea i hana pū me ka nalo pohihihi o kāna hoaaloha maikaʻi he ʻumi mau makahiki ma mua o kāna lā male. ʻAʻole kōkua ia e mare ana ʻo Lauren i kāna ipo aloha a kāna hoa aloha, a ua ʻaihue ʻo ia i kona ola holoʻokoʻa, e like me kona makuahine. 

Wili a huli aʻe kēia moʻolelo, ke aloha aku nei ʻoe iā ʻoe me ke kanaka nui a laila e nīnau ana he lima maoli kāna i ka nalowale ʻana, a e hoʻomaka ana i kahi ... kali iā ia ... wili! ʻO ka mea hemahema wale nō ʻaʻole ia a hiki i ka hopena o ka hopena i hoʻolauna ʻia nā mea mana supernatural, no laila ke ʻano like ia me kahi thriller ʻoluʻolu ʻole no ka hapa nui o ka wā holo.

5. Newark, New Jersey

Ke hakakā nei kahi mau e hui hou a neʻe i hope o ke kāʻili ʻana a me ka nalo ʻana o kā lāua kaikamahine i hoʻokahi makahiki i hala. I waenakonu o kēia, ʻike ka makuakāne i kahi ʻānela hāʻule i kahi ʻōpala a hānai iā ia i ke olakino. Ua lohe ʻoe iaʻu ma ka pololei. He ʻānela, mai ka lani mai. 

ʻOiai ʻaʻole wau he pā nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā ʻānela i kahi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli, no ka mea paʻakikī lākou e hoʻoweliweli, ʻo ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka ʻānela he mea maikaʻi loa ia. Ke hoʻohālikelike nei i kahi malihini kipi iridescent ma mua o kahi kiʻi hoʻomana cherubic, ua ʻoluʻolu wau e kala aku, ma ka liʻiliʻi. 

Eia nō naʻe, nani kēia ʻāpana ma waho a ʻo nā ʻāpana maikaʻi loa ke ʻano keaka ma waena o ka wahine a me ko lākou kaumaha no kā lākou lilo weliweli. 

6. New Orleans, Louisiana

Ma waho o nā māhele āpau i ʻāina monster, ua hoʻopilikia loa kēia iaʻu, akā no nā kumu āu e manaʻo ʻole ai. E akahele: he paʻakikī paha kēia māhele e nānā no nā mea nānā he nui, ʻoiai e pili ana, me ka hōʻino ʻole ʻana i kekahi mea, nā poʻomanaʻo ikaika loa o ka hoʻouka kolohe keiki. 

Pāʻani ʻo Nicole Beharie iā Annie, kahi makuahine i male i ka waiwai. Pono ʻo ia e kū i kahi huna ʻeleʻele o kona wā i hala e hōʻike hōʻoluʻolu ʻole nei i nā lōʻihi e hele ai nā poʻe e kūleʻa i ke ola. 

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ʻoi aku paha ka maikaʻi o kēia māhele inā ʻaʻole ia i hilinaʻi nui i nā hana hoʻomāinoino maoli o ka honua. ʻO ke ʻano pīhoihoi loa o kēia māhele ua maikaʻi a paʻakikī loa e nānā. 

7. Palacios, Texas

Hāʻawi wau i kēia ʻāpana bonus helu no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli "killer mermaid" ʻoi loa ma waho. He neʻe wiwo ʻole e hele me ke kaikamahine wahine, akā ʻo ia kahi mea i makemake ʻia e ʻimi hou ʻia i ka ʻano makaʻu. 

ʻO kahi lawaiʻa nāna i kīnā ʻole i ke kino a me ka noʻonoʻo e nā hopena o ka hāʻule ʻana i loko o nā kemika i ka wā o ka ninini ʻia o ka aila (ʻae, ʻo ia nō ka hopena o New York) e hakakā ana e noho i kahi kaona kahi hiki ʻole iā ia ke hana hou i ka hana āna i aloha ai. a hoʻomāʻewaʻewa ʻia e kāna mau hoaaloha mua. 

I kekahi lā, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kahi kahu wahine i holoi ʻia ma kahakai mai ka aila a hoʻihoʻi iā ia i kona hale. Ke ola hou ka mermaid, ʻike ʻo Sharko iā ia ma ke ʻano he hoa aloha i loko o kona mehameha, ʻoiai he kumu ulia kāna. E noʻonoʻo Ke Kime o ka wai akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke aloha a me ka weliweli. 

ʻO ka pilikia nui loa me kēia māhele, ua pili hou ia i ka hana liʻiliʻi loa a me ke kamaʻilio nui ʻana. ʻOiai wau i makemake nui iā ia, ua ʻike wau ʻo ka luhi loa o nā māhele. 

8. Eugene, Oregona

ʻOiai he ʻāpana kaʻu ma ka wahi haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo makemake ʻole wau iā ia a maikaʻi ʻole paha, ʻoiai he nui nā mea i hana ʻole iaʻu. Ua hauʻoli loa wau i nā poʻomanaʻo i mākaʻikaʻi ʻia, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā mea like ke hana ʻia he mea paʻakikī loa iaʻu e hoʻi i hope. 

Pāʻani ʻo Charlie Tahan i kahi ʻōpio makemake ʻole ʻia, ʻo Nick, ka mea pono e haʻalele i ke kula e hoʻolako i kāna makuahine i loaʻa i ka lolo i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka lolo i hiki ʻole iā ia ke hana a mālama paha iā ia iho. ʻAʻole hiki iā Nick ke uku no ka lāʻau pono a kona makuahine, ʻoiai i ka wehe ʻana o ka hanana ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka ʻinikua olakino makuahine. 

Ma hope o kahi hanana kahi i kipaku ʻia ai ʻo ia mai kāna hana ma ka hale ʻaina ʻai wikiwiki, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻike i nā mea aka i kona hale. Ua hele aku ʻo ia i kahi "kaiāulu pūnaewele" i loaʻa nā hanana like a komo i loko o kahi "kaua e kūʻē i nā aka" ʻoiai e lilo ana i mau hoaaloha me nā poʻe ma ka pūnaewele. 

Ke hoʻohana akāka nei kēia māhele i ke ʻano o ke aka e like me ke ʻano hoʻohālikelike no nā ʻōpio mehameha e loaʻa ai ka pilina ma nā kaiāulu pūnaewele e radicalize iā lākou, kikoʻī i nā mea pana. Ua makemake nui wau i ka wehewehe ʻana o nā kumuhana i kēia akā ʻaʻole wau he peʻa o ka hoʻokō.
