menakutkan/menyeramkan/mengerikan (silahkan pilih)


Explanation:
Saya pikir ini allusion, istilah dalam sastra, dimana "the horror" sendiri merupakan frase klasik yang diambil dari novel terkenal karya Joseph Conrad yang berjudul Heart of Darkness (diadaptasi ke bentuk film dengan perubahan setting menjadi saat perang Vietnam dalam Apocalypse Now).

"The horror! The horror!" diucapkan tokoh utama bernama Kurtz yang diasumsikan berubah menjadi kanibal dan malah lebih condong ke masyarakat primitif di Kongo padahal ia berlatar belakang pedagang gading berkulit putih yang berasal dari negara yang menjajah/mengeksploitasi negara di Afrika itu.

Jadi, kalau untuk konsep film Madagscar, mungkin kehilangan ipod dianggap 'menakutkan' karena akan membuat binatang2 yang sudah sangat terbiasa di kota New York menjadi primitif kembali karena kehilangan gadget modernnya.

Maaf kalau penjelasan terlalu panjang. Untuk ringkasnya tentang Heart of Darkness bis lihat di sini: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness
