A manaʻoʻiʻo ʻaʻole ia, ʻO nā ʻAno Kahiki (2008) ʻo ia ke kiʻi R-Rated mua loa aʻu i ʻike ai i nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni.

ʻO 12 wau, a ua haʻalele loa iaʻu e pāʻani.

I kēia manawa, i ka ʻelemakule pala o 22, noho wau i lalo e nānā Nā malihini: ʻAha i ka Po, ʻo ka hopena o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, he mau makahiki he XNUMX wale nō i hala, i hōʻeuʻeu i kaʻu mau moeʻuhane moe no nā pule. Ua manaʻo wau i nā mea hou like: lele-makaʻu i kahi-nui, hoʻowahāwahā i nā mele mele, a me kahi mea uʻi, holoi ʻia.

ʻO ka mea i loaʻa iaʻu ma kahi o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, aniani, ʻoniʻoni hoʻowahāwahā ʻia ʻO Johannes Roberts's Nā malihini: ʻAha i ka Po. 

ʻO kaʻu mea punahele e pili ana i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo ia kēlā loa ʻokoʻa mai kona mua. ʻAʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole wau i hauʻoli i ke kumu; Ua hana wau, akā mahalo mau wau i kahi hopena e hoʻāʻo e hana i kahi mea wiwo ʻole a ʻokoʻa me kāna kumuwaiwai kumuwaiwai.

Ma hope o ʻono loa prologue creepy starring our titular masked-maniacs, hoʻololi mākou i nā kuanaʻike e hāhai i kahi ʻohana e neʻe nei i kahi pā liʻiliʻi no ke kauwela.

ʻO ke keiki muli loa o ka pūʻā, ʻo Kinsey (hoʻokani ʻia me ke kipi kipi e Bailee Madison), ke hoʻouna ʻia nei i ke kula kauā no kāna hana maikaʻi ʻole. ʻO kona mau mākua (ʻo Christina Hendricks ʻo Cindy / "Mom", a ʻo Martin Henderson ʻo Mike / "Pāpā") a me ke kaikunāne (kahi mea aloha ʻo Lewis Pullman ʻo Luke), e noho pū ana lākou i kahi trailer trailer, kokoke i kahi o Kinsey e hele ana i ke kula.

Ua kūleʻa ka hapaha mua o kēia kiʻi ma ke ʻano he hana keaka ʻohana kūpono. Ke ulu nei mākou e mālama e pili ana i kēia mau huapalapala, ʻoiai ke ʻike nei lākou e like me ka wikiwiki, e hoʻoweliweli ʻia e nā mea pepehi kanaka, kahi āu e ʻike ai i loko. o kela ke kihi ʻeleʻele ke kali ʻoe no ka manawa hāʻule kāmaʻa.

ʻEha kēia mau hiʻohiʻona mua i kekahi mau cliches maopopo (Keikikāne Kipi / Over-Happy Prologue to Ultaced Horrifying Film), akā hiki iā lākou ke kala ʻia, no ka mea, ʻo nā mea hana keaka, ʻo Madison hoʻi, ikaika a ʻūlū e hana i ka manaʻo maoli.

A laila, e like me kāu e ʻike ai, e heleleʻi nā kāmaʻa ʻē aʻe paʻakaha

ʻAʻohe spike mele nui e hele pū me ka hoʻouka kaua mua, ʻaʻohe jumpscare, ʻaʻohe pahu paʻi haʻalulu. ʻO kekahi o nā mea pepehi kanaka masked (ʻO Emma Bellomy, ka mea hōʻike maikaʻi loa i ka "Dollface" sadistic), hele wale aku i waho o ka pouli, kahi pahi kī i ka lima.

ʻO ka mea e ukali nei, i ka manaʻo o kēia loiloi, ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ola loa weliweli mai ka makahiki 2015 Keena ʻōmaʻomaʻo. 

ʻOiai ke kumu ʻO nā ʻAno Kahiki hōʻike i nā mea pepehi kanaka ma ke ʻano he pseudo-supernatural jumpscare engine, loaʻa kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ka weliweli i ko lākou lāhui hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia. ʻAno liʻiliʻi lākou i ka malu, wikiwiki e ʻōlelo, a, ʻoiaʻiʻo, clumsier. ʻAʻole lākou he predatorible apex predators, aia wale nō ...nā kānaka. 

A ʻoi aku ka weliweli loa o kēia ma mua o ka ʻuhane a ghoul paha e manaʻo ai.

Hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia kēia e kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni maikaʻi loa hoʻohana mele. He hānai wau no i kekahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hoʻohana i kāna mele kani i kahi ala anuanu, hana, a he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kēia e hana ana i kēlā a me nā mea hou aku. Nā malihini: ʻAha i ka Po ʻike i ka wā e hoʻonui ai i ke mele, a i ka wā hea e huki ai.

Loaʻa ka penihana i nā mea pepehi kanaka no nā mele '80s pop, i hoʻohana ʻia e ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me ka hoʻohenehene hauʻoli. ʻOiai ʻo ka pīni o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kūpilikiʻi a me ka momona o ke kala e hōʻike ana i ka peppiness kekeʻe o nā makemake o ka poʻe pepehi kanaka. ʻAʻole kau ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona makaʻu loa i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i nā helu orchestral, akā i nā momi e like me Kim Wilde's Nā keiki ma ʻAmelika.

I nā manawa o ke koʻikoʻi kiʻekiʻe loa, koho nā mea pepehi kanaka i ke mele kani, a paʻa ʻoe me nā mea a lākou e makemake ai e hoʻolohe.

He mea weliweli ia, no ka mea, he kūpono maoli ia.

ʻO kekahi mea nui e pili ana i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻo ia ke hōʻike maka ʻole ʻia i nā mea weliweli pāpā ʻole o ka hewa o ka malihini. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona kahi a lākou e lawe ai i ke ola o nā mea paʻi me ke ʻano kīnā ʻole o ka pono maoli, e hoʻokokoke ana i ka mea nānā keu. hoʻopiʻi.

Nānā mākou mai kahi mamao loa ma ke ʻano he kāne hoʻoluhi ʻole alualu kahi keiki i ke koʻi ahi; nānā mākou mai ka noho hope i ka wā e hoʻolei ai kahi mea pepehi i ka hau hau i loko o ka puka makani a kekahi ma hope o ka hoʻolilo ʻana iā 30 kekona kekona ʻike ʻole ʻia pono ke mele kūpono ma ka lekiō. ʻAʻole kāmele kāmela, ʻo ia nā huahelu.

ʻAʻole hoʻonani ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i nā hana ʻino a nā malihini, ia hana maʻamau ia mea.

E pili ana i kā mākou mea hana keaka, pili ana ko lākou makaʻu a me ka makaʻu me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. I ka wā e hakakā ai lākou me nā malihini, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā paio a me ka choreographed. Loaʻa iā lākou ka brutal, kokoke i ka slapstick manaʻo maoli hakaka.

ʻAʻole nani ia, a ʻaʻole pono ia.

ʻO Bailee Madison ke kū kū, kāna mau manawa o ka hana makaʻu ʻole my piʻi aʻe ka helu o ka naʻau. Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ka makaʻu, ola kona ʻano. Haʻaheo ʻo ia i kahi Queen Scream.

ʻO ka loulou nāwaliwali loa, ʻo Martin Henderson, ka mea hiki ʻole pololei kūʻai aku i kāna mea hoʻoweliweli e like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole ia he mea hana keaka maikaʻi ʻole, akā no kāna hōʻike ʻana i ke kāne in extremis ʻaʻole manaʻo lawa loa.

Nā malihini: ʻAha i ka Po loaʻa kāna mau kīnā. He paʻakikī ia i kekahi manawa e hoʻolaulea i ke kumu a ko mākou mau protagonist e koho ai nana a puni kēlā kihi pouli ma mua o ka holo wale ʻana no ko lākou ola. A ʻaneʻane kokoke ka poʻe pepehi kanaka oi aku maikaʻi i ka noho ʻana i hoʻokahi ʻanuʻu i mua o kā lākou pio. Lawe ia i kekahi o nā mea e hiki ke hilinaʻi ʻia mai kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e kūkulu i ka hapa nui o kāna mea weliweli mai ka ʻike maoli.

Akā, no nā hemahema a pau, maikaʻi e ʻōlelo Nā malihini: ʻAha i ka Po ʻoi aku i kaʻu mau mea i manaʻo ai. He subversive, hana, a me ka makaʻu ʻole e ʻokoʻa.

A ʻo ia nō ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli.
