Director Richard Stanley anodzokera kurondedzero yekugadzira mafirimu mushure memakore anopfuura makumi maviri na Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo, hypnotic HP Lovecraft inoenderana. Yakaburitswa muna 1927, nyaya yacho ndeimwe yemabasa anozivikanwa aLovecraft uye inonzi ndiyo yaanofarira pane ake mapfupi nyaya. Stanley anounza rudo rwake rweLovecraft mufirimu uye anowedzera rake raanofarira kungano, achigadzira yakasarudzika uye yekuziva chiitiko.

Nyeredzi Nicolas Cage (Mandy, Joely Richardson (Event Horizon, Madeleine Arthur (The Magicians, Brendan Meyer (Muenzi, Julian Hilliard (Kuputika kweGomo reimbaElliot Knight (Pane imwe nguva), uye Tommy Chong (weCheech uye Chong mukurumbira), Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo inotevera mhuri yaGardner sekuparara kwemeteorite papurazi ravo. Iri dombo renzvimbo rinoburitsa muvara usingatsanangurike unobata hupenyu hwese padhuze nenzira dzisinganzwisisike uye dzinotyisa. Munguva pfupi, mhuri inosara ichiriritira hupenyu hwavo chaihwo sezvo ruvara rwunopararira nenyika yavo, ichisiya nyonganiso mukumuka kwayo. 

Zvinotyisa zveCosmic Lovecraftian zvinogona kunetsa sezvo mhedzisiro yacho iri yakakosha. Kana iwe ukabvunza chero anotyisa fan, ivo vanofara kukuudza iwe kuti zvinoshanda mhedzisiro inogara iri nani. Nekutenda, Stanley anoshandisa zvinoshanda zvenguva dzinotyisa kwazvo mufirimu, inokosheswa zvechokwadi.

Chiyeuchidzo chechisikwa chaRob Bottin zvigadzirwa zve The Thing, zvikara zve Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo zvinoshanda chaizvo. CGI mhedzisiro yakaturikwa pamusoro peiyo inoshanda mhedzisiro yekuvasimudzira iwo ane titular kara, zvisinei, mune dzimwe nguva huwandu hweCGI hunoshandisa hunofukidza hunhu hunoshanda saka zvinonetsa kutaura izvo zvakagadzirwa panyama. 

Kune chikamu chikuru, Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo inorova dzimwe dzenhoroondo dzinorova kubva kunyaya yepfupi nyaya, asi dzimwe shanduko dzakaitwa nemhedzisiro. Nomuzvarirwo kumwe kuchinja kwakaitika kunokanganisa kuvandudza kwechirongwa, asi paine zvimwe zvigadziriso zvinoshandura mataurirwo efirimu. 

Panzvimbo pekuunganidzwa kwezvipfuyo zvakajairika, purazi remhuri rinogarwa neboka realpaca. Kazhinji kazhinji kwete, maalpacas aya anoshanda sepunchline inogona kuvhiringidza sezvavanogadzira nzvimbo yese yavari mune yakapusa (nekuti alpaca zvakasarudzika zvisina musoro). 

Mavara mazhinji akasanganiswa kuita imwe hydrologist inoshanda seyesainzi yekubata-zvese pese panodiwa ruzivo. Hazvishamise kuti hydrologist yaizobvunzwa kuti pawanikwe meteorite, kana kuti ingaziva kuti kupisa kwemwaranzi kunoratidzika sei, asi zvakanakisa kusagara pairi… murume anoziva sainzi yake.

Kune dzimwe shoma dzinoverengeka mbeu dzakasimwa dzisinganyatsokura kuita chero chinhu uye dzinogona kutemerwa zvachose pasina kukanganisa firimu zvachose. Ivo vanowedzera mukukudziridza hunhu, asi kazhinji hazvina basa sezvo paine dzimwe nzira dzekuvaka hukama hwevateereri pamwe nekunzwisisa kweavo vatambi vasina kuzadza zvisina basa.

Chinonyanya kutyisa ndechekuti mutambi wega wega anoita kunge ari kushanda mune rimwe bhaisikopo. Maitikiro ari pese pese maererano netoni ine madhigirii akasimba ekuwedzera. Nicolas Cage anotora nzvimbo yepakati mune imwe yeanonyanya kuita cagey kusvika nhasi, achichinjanisa pakati pevarimi vane huni (slash bourbon connoisseur) uye yakazara-inoputirwa bonkers pane hairpin inokonzeresa. Kana vatarisana neChinha isina kusunganidzwa, vatambi vanounza nhaurirano yavo nekuvimbika kwakadai zvekuti kunogona kusekesa, kunyangwe zvisina kujeka kana izvi zvichingova zvechinangwa. Iwo wekukanda haukwanise kuenzana nekunaka kwake uye usayedze kuzviita, saka semhedzisiro mhedzisiro, simba rakaenzana.

Sechimiro cheLovecraft, Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo zvakanaka. Hazvina kunaka zvakanyanya kana zvakaipa, asi zvingave zvisiri izvo zvaunotarisira kana iwe uchinzwa musanganiswa waLovecraft, Nic Cage, naRichard Stanley. Iko kunakidza kwekunyepedzera - kunyanya kune yayo Cage-isms - asi zvakazara inogona kuve yakabatana. 

Ruvara kunze kweNzvimbo anotsauka kunze kwemitsetse kuti atore mufananidzo wake wakasarudzika, uye mhedzisiro yacho inoshatisa. Iyi firimu yakatove yakawanikwa neRJLE Mafirimu pamberi payo Pakati pousiku Kupenga kuratidzwa kwenyika. Asi mubvunzo chaiwo ndewekuti, vateereri vanozvitenga here?
