Ndinoziva zvauri kufunga… ”Murume uyu akamboita hudiki here?” Ini ndanga ndichienda kunotora chimwe chinhu chinotyisa kwekutanga kutsemuka kwangu Kunonoka kuPati, asi, dammit, ndakanzwa pfungwa yebasa kuti pakupedzisira nditarise yaJoe Dante Gremlins kubva pane yangu runyorwa.

Gremlins ndiyo mhando yegedhi rinotyisa bhaisikopo vateereri vadiki vangayeuke nemufaro seimwe yedzidziso dzavo dzekutanga kumhando iyi. Ndakanga ndichizvibvunza kana ndaisazokwanisa kuzvikoshesa semunhu mukuru. Zvakare zvakare, yakanaka firimu haidi fungidziro yekusimudza. Ini ndakapinda mu disc (ndine hurombo, hapana VHS), uye iyo menyu skrini yakaonekwa naJerry Goldsmith's zany carnival-style theme rwiyo rwuri kutamba kumashure. Ndakaziva kuti ndaive ndiri wekutasva musango.

Gremlins inovhura zvisingatarisirike senge neo-noir mutikitivha firimu, izere nezwi-pamusoro rondedzero kubva kuna fedora akapfeka murume nenyaya isingadaviriki yekuudza. Inventor Randall Peltzer anowana chisikwa chidiki chisingazivikanwe chinonzi Mogwai mune isinganzwisisike shopu yekumashure, uye anochitenga sechipo chinoshamisa cheKisimusi yemwanakomana wake achiri kuyaruka Billy. Randall anoyambira Billy kuti atevere mitemo mitatu yakapfava: Ichengetedze kunze kwechiedza chezuva, ichengete iri kure nemvura, uye usamboifudza mushure mehusiku. Ini handina kumirira kuti vaputse vese vatatu.

Zvaishamisa kuti mhuri yese yakanga isingakoshese sei kuti baba vakaunza kumba mhuka isingazivikanwe, yeNobel Prize-kuhwina, uye vakaita senge yaive yePomeranian. Asi, hei, vanhu vaiuya kumba kwese kwese zvisikwa zvisina kujairika muma80. Hazvina kutora nguva zvinhu zvisati zvaenda zvisirizvo, uye guta racho rakakombwa nemazana evakaipa gremlins. Dai amai chete vakadaidza vakuru pavakawana hafu dhazeni chikara mumutumbi wake, panzvimbo yekudzokera pasi pasi nekubheka makuki eKisimusi.

Tinosangana nevamwe vevanhu vasingafungiri veguta mune yekutanga firimu. Vazhinji vanyori vane nhetembo dzakabhadharwa, senge inonzwisa tsitsi, dhara crone Mai Deagle, vanogashira hunhu hunotyisa (zvimwe pane izvo gare gare). Nekudaro, mamwe emhando arcs anokandwa munzira. Mudiki waBilly, anozvitutumadza maneja Gerald Hopkins ari kukwikwidza kuda kwaBilly's crush Kate. Gerald oddly anonyangarika chikamu nepakati peiyo firimu, asi haisi kukuvadza kukuru kune iyo yakazara zano. Kate anotenda kuti haana kushandurwa kuita musikana ari mukutambudzika. Kunyangwe paine akarasika mikana yemunhu, Gremlins hazvinetseke kubhogokera pasi muzvikamu zvakawandisa kana iyo nhanho ichisimudza.

Iyo firimu inoratidzwa senge B-bhaisikopo chisikwa-chimiro chakakwidziridzwa nekunakisa kuuraya. Kupenda matte kupenda kunoshandiswa kune epamhepo kupfura kweguta diki, nepo akawanda maseti achiratidzika kunge echinyakare Hollywood backlots. Mhedzisiro yacho ine zvakawanda zvakangwara izvo zvicharamba zvichirova pfungwa dzevanhu, kunyangwe nanhasi.

Vashandi vakaburitsa zvimisikidzo nezvikochekete zvakatetepa, vachipuruzira furballs, uye, zveshuwa, inoshamisa animatronics. Kunyangwe semunhu mukuru-mbongoro mukuru, ini ndakawana Gizmo yakanyatsoyevedza. Iwo ma gremlins akavanda mumhando dzakasiyana siyana nemakirnani aiwanzo kuperekedzwa ne retro inopenya girini kana mwenje mutsvuku uye mhute inotenderera. Mutsara unotyisa wekufa kwaStripe unofanana nechiitiko chekupedzisira mu Vakaipa Vakafa (1981) nenzira yakanakisa. Zvese izvi zvidiki zvinobata zvinounza iyo firimu kuhupenyu neinoshamisa flair.

Iyo nhanho yemayhem mu Gremlins rine mbiri. Mumwe angatarisira kuti firimu riite diki muyero nekuda kwekurambidzwa kwebhajeti, asi vakabuda vese. Iwo ma gremlins anobvarura-dhongi kuburikidza neguta rinoyevedza anoratidzira hunhu hwavo hune huipi, uye kugona kwevashandi vefirimu. Kwete chete ivo vaiparadza guta, ivo vaive vachinakidzwa vachizviita.

Dante anotibvumidza isu kutora nguva dzinoverengeka kuti tinyure mune mhirizhonga iyo gremlins iri kukonzera mune yemuno bhawa uye theatre. Iyo kamera inokomberedza kutaridza kuti varatidze vachisvetuka kubva kumafeni esiringi, vachitamba makadhi, vachirova zvinwiwa, uye nemamwe ese marudzi eanopenga shenanigans. Chimwe chezviitiko zvakanakisa ndipo pavanouya pamusuwo waAmai Deagle vakapfeka nguwo dzekarori, uye vovhura crotchety. Ndaiumburuka nekuseka.

Gremlins musanganiswa wakakwana weyakareruka yemakumi masere makumi masere nenjodzi, ine dash yemupendero wegore. Iyi firimu ingadai yakave iri cheesy njodzi dai yaiitwa zvisina kunaka. Izvo pachinzvimbo yakava yechinyakare ine chimwe chinhu kune wese munhu. Vateereri vemazuva ano vanowanzoedza kusarudza kana firimu rakaita Halloween (1978) ichiri kutyisa nematanho ezuva ranhasi. Gremlins, kune rimwe divi, zvaisambofanirwa kutyisa. Izvo zvaifanirwa kuve kunakidzwa kwekunakidzwa, iine yakanaka inoshanda mhedzisiro Panyaya iyi, inobata zvachose.
