Imnandi. Olunye uloyiko, olunegazi, kodwa ekude nomdlalo wevidiyo odikayo odlalwa ngabantu bokwenyani ngaphandle kwemodem, isikrini okanye indawo yombane, Unga Umahluko osekwe ngokwenyani we Imidlalo yokulamba ibekwe kwigumbi lokutyela elihle emva kwesidlo sangokuhlwa esibulalayo. Indikhumbuze yonke into ukusuka AmaNdiya amancinci alishumi kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olusezantsi uthathe uNeil Simon's Ukubulala ngokufa ngaphandle kokuhleka. Ukuphambukisa abantu abathanda imidlalo, kodwa ingeyiyo i-squeamish.
UBrittany Snow, oyinto ephambili kwiimovie ze-B nakwisepha zikamabonwakude, udlala u-Iris, ibhinqa eliselula elibuyela kwidolophu yakowalo ukuze liyokukhathalela umntakwabo ogulayo, oyidinga kakhulu imali yokufakwa komongo wethambo. Ngaphandle kwamabanga emfundo kwaye kungekho themba, u-Iris udibana nesipho esityebileyo ngesindululo esingaqhelekanga: yiya kwitheko lesidlo sangokuhlwa kwaye udlale umdlalo obizwa ngokuba Ngaba Ungathanda, kwaye ukuba uyaphumelela, isiseko sakhe esimangalisayo siya kumvuza ngetoni yemali, wenze konke Amalungiselelo otyando lomntakwabo kwangoko kunye nokuqinisekisa ikamva lakhe. Ukufika kwilokhwe yakhe elula, enenjongo zonke ezimnyama, u-Iris udibana nezinye iindwendwe, nganye efihla imfihlo kwaye ibonakala iqinisekisiwe. Ukunikezela nge-Iris, umhlwayeli ozinikeleyo, $ 10,000 yokutya imbambo enqabileyo yesiteki ngaphandle kokugabha, kunye nokufuna ukuba isiselo esinxilisayo sokufumana isiselo esinxilisayo esipheleleyo se-scotch yeedola ezingama-50 000 ngaphambi kokuba kufikelelwe ikhosi yokuqala, kuyacaca ukuba umamkeli mhle, onxibe kakuhle luhlobo lwe-maniac ethi, emva kwemini, ngeyidlalwe nguBela Lugosi. Iya isiba mandundu.
Kumdlalo, abo bakhuphisana nabo babuzwa umbuzo kwaye banikwe ixesha eli-15 lesibini lokuphendula. Kufuneka balandele kude kube sekupheleni okanye basuswe (oko kuthetha ukufa). Ikhoboka lotywala (uJohn Heard) ukhetha ukuphuma kwangoko kwaye adutyulwe intloko, eshenxisa igqala lomdlali weqonga kubadlali abangaziwayo. Abanye baphantsi konyango lwe-electroshock, ukubetha, ukuhlaba kunye nokukhetha umkhenkce, ukusikwa okuvulekileyo kwamehlo kunye nencakuba (ekhohlisayo, kodwa ingekho eyantlandlolo; abantu ababonileyo Inja yaseAndalusi sele nditshonile) kunye nokuntywila ngokuntywilisela intloko emgqonyeni wamanzi imizuzu emibini. Ufumana umfanekiso. Sebenzisa umxholo wosindiso ofunyenwe ngokwenza ukhetho phakathi kwento eyaziwayo nengaziwayo, ukohlwaywa okwenziwe ngumamkeli kuya kusiba krakra kumjikelo ngamnye. Umphambukeli ofikayo azokuphelisa umdlalo kwaye asindise abadlali babulawa, utshabalalisa onke amathemba. Okokugqibela, abantu abane bashiyekile, benentonga yedynamite. NjengakwiAgatha Christie, kwaye emva koko kwakungekho.
Ekhokelwa ubuncinci bokuhamba kwekhamera nguDavid Guy Levy, ifilimu eyoyikisayo ebalekayo ibaleka njengegesi eyityhefu kuyo yonke indawo. Iskripthi esenziwe nguSteffen Schlachtenhaufen, igama elingenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokulityalwa kuba akukho mntu unokuyipela, kungasathethwa kangako. Ndiyayithanda inyani yokuba Unga akukho zombi zikhubekisayo, ii-werewolves ezineepcs okanye i-vampires zothando. Izilo ngabantu bokwenene. Umdlalo unemithetho, eguqula iipesenti ezingama-99 zexesha. Kodwa inokuba yimpumelelo inye kuphela, ke oko kuthetha ukuba kuya kufuneka ubukele ukungcungcutheka okungcungcuthekisayo kunye nokubulawa kwabantu abasixhenxe ngokulinganayo, uthatha umdlalo-udlala uye kwelinye, inqanaba lokuziphatha okubi okwedlula oko u-Agatha Christie waphupha ngako, kungekho nolonwabo. Iyelenqe elenzelweyo lisisiqhelo, kwaye abadlali badlulisa uloyiko oluphezulu. Umdlalo weqonga obonisa umdla unomdla kwaye unemibala ethandekayo, kwaye kwimidlalo yefilimu, uJeffrey Combs udlala ngaye ngefashoni ehamba ngaphezulu nangaphaya komnxeba womsebenzi. Andizukutyhila ukuba ngubani ophumeleleyo, kodwa emva koloyiko lokugqibela, kukho enye into eya kukunika amaphupha amabi.
