Hazvishamise kuti Ravenous haina kumhara nevateereri payakaburitswa kekutanga muna 1999. Kugadzira kwainetsa kubva pakutanga, nevatungamiriri veFox 2000 vanonzi vaitonga chirongwa ichi. Screenwriter Ted Griffin aigara achikumbirwa kuti ape zvinyorwa zvekare, ukuwo director wekutanga Milcho Manchevski akadonhedzwa vhiki nhatu mukugadzirwa. Anomutsidzira, Raja Gosnell, anonzi akarambwa nevashandi pamwe nevashandi. Pekupedzisira, Antonia Shiri akaunzwa mukati. Kunyangwe asina kugutsikana zvizere nezvakaitika, Shiri akapedzisa firimu sezvaakange ashandirwa kuita. Pakupedzisira, iyo $ 12 miriyoni yekugadzira yakapepetwa neakasarudzika $ 2 mamirioni pane yekumba bhokisi hofisi.

Kunyangwe dai Ravenous 'kugadzirwa kwainge kwafamba mushe, yaizove iri yakaoma firimu kutengesa. Iko eccentric kuyedza chikamu gory chinotyisa bhaisikopo, chikamu chikamu mutambo. Kuenderera mberi nehusiku hwekutengesa, nyaya yayo inokanganisa inoswededzwa neyakajeka-nhema pfungwa yekuseka. Kunyangwe paine zvipingaidzo zvakamisikidzwa pairi, zvisinei, Ravenous ipfungwa yakanaka kwazvo. Vateereri vanogona kunge vakairasa pachiratidziro chikuru, asi vanga vachitsvaga gem rakavanzika pavhidhiyo yekumba mukati memakore gumi nemashanu apfuura. NeBlu-ray kuburitswa kuburikidza neScream Fekitori, Ravenous ndeyechokwadi kuwana mamwe mafeni mukona yayo.

Ravenous inyaya yekudyiwa nevanhu yakakurudzirwa nhaiyo-yechokwadi nyaya yeiyo Donner pati. Izvo zvinoitika mukati meMexico-American Hondo yema1840. Guy Pearce (Prometheus, Memento) nyeredzi saJohn Boyd, kaputeni wemauto anotumirwa kuFort Spencer, chiteshi chehuremu chisina kukwana muCalifornia. Aripo, iye nevamwe vake vemauto varume vanoona murume akaonda anonzi Colqhoun (Robert Carlyle, makumi maviri nemasere Masvondo Gare gare). Murume uyu anotaura nezveColonel Ives ane utsinye, uyo akatendeuka kuzodya nyama mushure mekunge bato rake rarasika munguva yechando yakaoma.

Zvinova pachena kuti Colqhoun akanakidzwa nehunhu hwekudyiwa kupfuura hwaanotungamira. Kunyangwe hazvo zano kusvika apa raigona kunge rakawedzeredzwa kuita ficha iri yega, inongova hafu yeRavenous. Kana akangwara Colqhoun akazove mukuru waBoyd, Boyd anofanira kumumisa kubva pakudya vanhu vazhinji. Haisi basa rakareruka, se - senge ngano yeWendigo inonyevera - kudya nyama kune masimba ekurapa.

Handina chokwadi chekuti Pearce akamboisa pamabatiro mashoma, uye Ravenous ingori humwe humbowo hweizvozvo. Kunge firimu chairo, rake basa rinomhanyisa iyo gamut kubva mukushamisika kuenda mudrama kusvika kurima komedhi. Carlyle ari pamusoro pemutambo wake futi, achiunza mupfungwa hunyengeri hwaChristoph Waltz. Jeffrey Jones (Beetlejuice) zvakare inopa kumira-kunze kuita. David Arquette ane diki inoshamisa (tichifunga kubudirira kweScream yakateedzana panguva imwechete) basa semurwi wematombo. Vatambi vakanakisa vatambi uye zviso zvinozivikanwa zvinosanganisirawo Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan), John Spencer (The West Wing), Stephen Spinella (Rubber) naNeal McDonough (Minority Report).

Tarenda riri kuseri kwekamera rinongoyevedza sevatambi. Ravenous mamaki Griffin's screenwriting kutanga, achigadzira nzira yebasa rake rekupedzisira paOcean yegumi nerimwe uye Matchstick Varume. Cinematographer Anthony B. Richmond's (Candyman, Men of Honor) ziso rakangwara rinotora mifananidzo inoshamisa yenzvimbo hombe, dzine sinou (ine Prauge yakamira muzana ramakore re19th California). Kunyangwe paine pasina akanyanya kujekesa akasarudzika ekugadzira mhedzisiro, iyo firimu inotyisa kupfuura zvaungatarisira. Uye haugone kukurukura Ravenous usinga taure yayo quirky, akasiyana manhamba. Kubatanidzwa kwemunyori wenziyo ane tarenda Damon Albarn (muimbi weBlur naGorillaz) uye munyori wepamberi Michael Nyman (Iyo Piano) yakaratidza kuve mubatanidzwa unokunda.

Uchitende kana kwete, Fox yekutanga DVD kuburitswa kweRavenous (kubva muna 1999!) Yakanga isiri shabby zvakanyanya maererano nekuwedzera: matatu akapatsanurwa matauriro (imwe neBhiri naAlbarn, imwe naGriffin naJones, uye imwe neCarlyle), yakabviswa zviitiko zvine chirevo cheShiri, uye maberere eakashongedzwa dhizaini uye dhizaini yekugadzira. Aya maficha akaiswa pamusoro, pamwe neturera uye terevhizheni. Tsanangudzo nhatu idzi dzakakodzera kuteerera, dzichipa huwandu hwakawanda hwemaonero pamusoro peiyo firimu kukunda nhoroondo yayo inonetsa.

Pamusoro pezvinhu zviripo zvekuwedzera, Mhere yakateedzera pasi yaJonathan mutsva, wemaminetsi makumi maviri ekubvunzurudzwa. Kunyangwe achizivikanwa nemabasa ake ekunyadzisa (kusanganisira nguva yake muRavenous), iye anopa anonzwisisika, anotaurwa zvakanaka kutora iyo firimu nemusoro wayo. Iyo nyowani, yepamusoro-tsananguro yekuchinjisa inotaridzika futi, kunyanya kana ichienzaniswa neye isiri-anamorphic DVD isu takanamatira nemakore ese aya.

Zvinosuruvarisa, Shiri akashaya gore rapfuura, asi akararama kwenguva yakareba zvakakwana kuti aone kuedza kwake kuchikosheswa. Ravenous iri bhaisikopo risingakudzwe kazhinji, asi kana iwe ukasangana nemumwe feni yemhando akazviona, pane nguva yekunakidzwa. Kutenda kuburitswa kweBlu-ray kweScream Factory, chinamato ichi chinotevera chinokura zvakanyanya sezvo firimu iri rakaiswa pamberi pevanhu vazhinji vanonzwisisa, vanombundira uye vanotsigira matauriro ayo akasarudzika.
