Tags: absurd, entertaining

Plot synopsis:
In the opening scene, a couple of truckers are transporting canisters of a bio-hazard substance belonging to the MAMARONECK Medical Research Facility. They accidentally hit a deer on the road. The impact of the collision causes one of the bio-hazard canisters to fall into the river. The canister floats down the river where it eventually comes to rest in a beaver dam. The canister starts leaking a green gas.Mary (Rachel Melvin), Zoe (Cortney Palm) and Jen (Lexi Atkins) travel to the town of Ashwood for the weekend. The three plan on staying at Mary's cousin's house. Jen has a lot on her mind as she is recovering from the revelation that her boyfriend, Sam (Hutch Dano), has cheated on her. Mary and Zoe planned the trip as a way of helping Jen recover from it.The house that they are staying at is facing a lake that happens to have a beaver dam. The river that the canister fell into to is right next to the lake. The river and lake is separated by an isthmus. Jen and Zoe soon realize that they cannot get any cell phone service, but Mary tells them that there is a land line connection in case anything there is any trouble.The girls decide to go for a swim in the lake. While they're swimming, they come across the beaver dam. Jen wants to see a beaver, so she goes towards the dam, and notices another beaver dam (which is where the canister arrived) in the river. Mary comes to the conclusion that the same beaver built both dams. The girls come across a bear, but before they are harmed, they are rescued by a man named Smith (Rex Linn). Smith is a redneck who warns them to stay away from the beavers, and dress more appropriate.That night, Tommy (Jake Weary), Mary's boyfriend, Buck (Peter Gilroy), Zoe's boyfriend, and Sam surprise the girls at the house. Reluctantly, Mary invites the guys inside after Jen says she doesn't mind that Sam is with them. Tommy and Mary leave to go have sex. Buck and Zoe go to have sex in their bedroom. Jen goes to the bathroom to take a shower. In the shower, she is attacked by a beaver. After hearing Jens screams, Tommy comes in and kills the beaver with a baseball bat. Jen and Mary believe something is wrong with the beaver because it did not have pupils. Later on, it is shown that the beaver survived.The next day, the entire group goes out to swim in the lake. Jen is still scared from what happened with her and the beaver in the shower. Because of that, she does not join them. At this point, it is shown that Sam had cheated on Jen with Mary. Everybody, other than Tommy and Jen, knows about it. The beavers then attack Buck and bite his foot off. They also manage to scratch Tommy in the process. Jen gets attacked by the same beaver that attacked her the previous night in the shower. Jen stabs the beaver with a knife, but not before it scratches her leg. The beavers damage the land line connection. So, now the group has no way to communicate with the outside.Zombie beavers (Zombeavers) then start to surround the house. Buck has lost a lot of blood due to the loss of his foot. Realizing that Buck will not make it through the night, Tommy decides to take him to the hospital with Mary's car. Zoe goes along with them. In order to stop them, the beavers bring down a tree to block the road. Tommy gets out and goes on foot to find some help. He is killed when a tree follows on top of him, due to the beavers. Smith comes to the rescue and agrees to help Zoe and Buck get back to the house in his truck.At the house, Mary, Sam, and Jen seal all the windows and the door with wood, in order to keep the beavers out. Unfortunately, the seal prevents them from letting Zoe, Smith and Buck in when they come back. Zoe and her group go to their neighbor, Winston Gregorson's (Brent Briscoe) house, where he lives with his wife Myrne (Phyllis Katz). When they get there, they find both of the Gregorson's dead. Their land line has also been destroyed by the beavers.At the other house, Jen begins to turn into a beaver-like zombie, because she was scratched. She grows a tail and her teeth begin to grow out to the length of a beavers. She attacks Mary, and some of her spit falls into Mary's mouth. Sam rescues Mary by hitting Jen from behind. They lock themselves inside a room. Mary begins to piece together that anybody that gets bit or scratched by the zombeavers turn into these beaver-zombie hybridsAt the Gregorsons' house, Buck turns into one of the zombies and kills Smith. He attacks Zoe. Zoe locks herself in the Gregorsons' bedroom. She is then attacked by the zombified Myrne. She escapes by jumping out the window. However, when she lands, she becomes unconscious. Meanwhile, a beaver sets the other house on fire.Zoe returns to help Mary in Smith's truck. Smith is now a zombie and starts shooting at his truck. Zoe and Mary manage to survive. Jen attempts to jump on to the top of the truck, but Zoe runs her over. Mary and Zoe reach the spot where Tommy died: the road blocked by a tree. They decide to get out and walk. Mary starts to believe that Zoe is bitten. She points the gun at Zoe, but instead starts to turn into a zombie. Zoe then kills her with an axe and walks away. On the road, she sees the same truckers who had dropped the canister, and they accidentally run her over.In a post-credits scene, a bee is seen on one of zombie's carcasses. It flies away and returns to the hive in a zombified state.

Review: While Zombeavers doesn't have any flying sharks, it has virtually everything else you could possibly want in a so-bad-it's-good movie and then some.I'll sum it up as quickly as possible.
It has all the elements of those raunchy rowdy horror movies of the 80s that was all about guys and half naked girls getting killed in a backwoods cabin.There was a lot of campy dialog but two of the funniest conversations is Smyth the hunter and Myrne Gregorson.
The storyline is predictable, the same as most low budget mutated animal films, but these are MY FAVOURITE KIND OF MOVIES :-) Right from the off you can tell that the film isn't taking itself seriously, which is exactly how these sort of films should be made.
If you are sitting down to watch a film called Zombeavers - and reading any sort of synopsis out there - then you should know what you are getting into.
It's going to be tacky, cheeky, bonkers, perhaps cheap and firmly aimed at a section of the horror movie faithful who enjoy such nutty and bloody delights.Zombeavers is not a great film of course, but for the sub-genre of horror it sits in it's actually better than many bigger comedy/horror productions that have been churned out in the last three decades.
It's also a great comedy and zombie movie spoof though; so fans of both genres get what they crave (and are expecting).
The animatronic zombie beavers look great, and the actors are all more than adequate in their roles; I especially like Palm's performance (she's also super hot in it).
The film is about as much fun as you can expect, from a movie called 'ZOMBEAVERS'!.

I had waited for this movie for quite awhile and was thrilled and excited to Watch it, especially after having seen the trailer.The story in "Zombeavers" is fairly generic as horror movies go: a group of young people go to a remote lake for some partying and things go awry.
These zombie beavers were somewhat fake, visually, but also hilarious, which just added to the enjoyment of the movie.Sure, the movie was predictable in every aspect, but the combination of horror and comedy worked well and I was quite entertained by this movie.The acting in the movie was good, although I can't really claim to be overly familiar with the cast as such, aside from Rex Linn.
That being said, I will go on to saying that the people did perform well enough in "Zombeavers", which was a nice thing, as it did elevate the movie experience.And the aspect of having zombie beavers did bring about a fresh of breath air to the zombie genre.
I think it is good when the movie-makers manage to pull off new takes on the zombie genre, especially when it works as well as it did in "Zombeavers".If you enjoy zombie comedies such as "Dead Alive" or "Shaun of the Dead" then you will also like "Zombeavers"..
It's the type of thing that you tell everyone you hate but you secretly liked.A can of toxic waste falls off a truck, into a lake and onto a Beaver dam where the animals get infected.At the same time a group of horny people under the age of 24, go into the woods to have sex.
What was laid out is not going to revolutionize the horror or zombie genre, but you got to admit the idea of Zombeavers is cleaver enough to get us to take a look.But all you'll get from watching this movie is pure laughter, so I hope that's what the filmmakers are going for, because that's what this film is worth, a few really good laughs at how ridiculous the movie is.In fact, the only possibly fright factor in the movie is the cheap and campy Beaver puppets which did look like, as the movie pointed out big fat rodents, and if you don't like rats, it does make your skin crawl when these things start to pop out of nowhere.It's campy as hell but it's worth seeing for some giggles..
Good Fun. A fun weekend turns into madness and horror for a bunch of groupies looking for fun in a beaver infested swamp.This movie excels at being exactly what you would expect it to be: a humorous, over-the-top horror film about beavers who happen to also be zombies.
Zombeavers follows the story of five friends on a nice weekend out on the lake when suddenly malicious beavers come into the mix, that's where things start to turn horrific.
I mean by first glance of this poster, you're probably thinking "This looks like such a dumb movie" and my god, you don't even know how right you are.
He only had two short scenes, and they were definitely the best scenes in the movie, but the rest did not disappoint.Sure, it's not as hilarious as Tucker and Dale Vs Evil, but if you enjoy low-budget horror, then you will definitely get a kick out of this movie.The ending really helped solidify this as a movie I will not soon forget.My only gripe was the unnecessary and bad CGI used in a couple scenes.
Don't expect it to be serious, and while maybe not quite as good as films like Cooties, The Final Girls & Tucker N Dale VS Evil, this will probably be right up your alley.
It's a dumb little piece of horror comedy but within those parameters it's made so intelligently.Maybe that's going a bit far but it's heaps of gorey fun that makes you lower your guard so that it does get some scares in amidst some breast and at least a couple of twists I never saw coming.It has a sweet setting and the characters were fleshed out enough though I was quite glad to see at least one of them get beavered.Also, the choice to use animatronic beavers, not CGI, sets this apart from the money other nickel a dozen creature features out there.It's a competent pastiche of both the zombie genre and the zombie parody genre..
Zombeavers is a typical B-movie slasher with gorgeous looking girls, immature boyfriends and killer beavers.
The writing is actually quite witty, the opening scene with Bill Burr will definitely make you laugh and the acting is just right for this type of a film.
I believe that it deserves a higher rating and I would recommended it to anyone that is into this type of films with knowing exactly what to expect and have a few laughs along the way..
I hate what has happened to the zombie sub genre, film makers coming up with ever more stupid names for their movies, a trend kicked off by Shaun of the Dead.
Usually I do not watch this type of low budget horror comedies, but when I run into comment on Facebook: "Those are not zombie beavers, those are carbonated squirrels." I simply could not resist.
First,i think many people who first know about this film would think this is just another typical stupid,cheap with some hot chicks,and boobs and stupid girls like me but no.I gave this film a chance and to be honest,i was surprised.This film is nothing new,of course but its really fun and smarter than most of so call horror movies these days You must admit the idea of a zombeaver is pretty weird but somehow creative.The zombeavers look pretty fake but what you expected from an indie like this?The movie itself doesn't have many gore scenes,but when it happens,its pretty gross and bloody painful to watch.The acting is pretty decent,i think Rachel Melvin was good as she did in Dumb and Dumber too.
There are two things i don't really like about this film.First is there aren't really a likable character and second is the ending.Otherwise,this was a fun time for me.I would give this film a 7 but due to the underrated rating it got i gave it a 10 because i think this film deserves at least a 5.0 - 5.5.Overall a good film to kill some free time,.
I heard about this some time ago and searched for it, first it said that the project/film had been canceled so I didn't think much of it, until somebody mentioned it, searched again and found it had been released.I am a sucker for b-movies, I love the originality, the bad effects, the acting and most of all the fun they have making them, that always shines through.
There are attractive girls off course in summer time so they don't need to have much on, stupid "sidekicks" that tries to help but doesn't do very well.All-in-all an entertaining movie, a bit amateurish in the acting and could have had better effects, but it is an okay b-movie that delivers on the strange plot it promises, Beaver zombies :).
I know that the intentional mediocrity and celebration of the absurd are the rationale of Zombeavers, but its one-joke premise isn't enough to support the humor during the few 77 minutes of running time (including long sequences of initial and end credits).
The problem is that the beavers are shot in a way that their artificial origin is too evident, and it ends up seeming like a fail which, intentional or not, damages the flow of the film.
Yes, I know that everything is part of the joke, but I feel that it would have been better to display the beavers less and elevate the horror aspects, with which it would have been a better balanced movie; in other words, less Hobgoblins and more Tremors.
We spent a lot of time shouting at the scene about what we would have done had we been in the same scenario and to me that's makes a good film to watch with friends!We added to the humour by having a 'sip' every time we heard the word beaver.
The story pretty simple a group of sexy 20 something girls travel to a cabin in the woods and what they don't is some toxic waste has been spilled into the river and has turned the beavers into hungry radioactive monster's.The movie is total fun all over the place, cheesy story,cheesy dialogue,cheesy monster's and some really hot female leads.
It's just one of those fun cheesy horror movies you have to watch with a open mind.
The film itself is as the title states, its what you would expect - A film about zombie beavers terrorizing a group of teens, its just a good old fashioned B-movie.
It starts with the most skimpy dressed young girls I've seen outside porn movies going to this cabin in the woods and getting attacked by zombie beavers.
There is some fun, impressive acting considering the subject and probable budget of the movie, rather decent practical effects and a ridiculous plot.I did enjoy it, but mostly on fast forward.
Unfortunately, I believe they had way more fun that the people who would watch the film.Wait until after the credits to see a hint of the sequel: Zombees!
However, what this film achieves higher than any other piece of sh** "horror" movie that has come out lately is that it's awesomely paced at a brief 80-minutes or so, the characters, though all typical, are well- casted and well-acted.
It seems the beavers in the river have been affected by it and mutated.In the cabin the girls have been joined by their boyfriends, even the ex turns up leading to a lot of drink and wild sex but then the beavers attack and these beavers will not lie down even after you kill them.The writers and director certainly know how to construct a horror film and keep the comedy going, at times painfully so when one of the men gets a blow job from hell.
The beavers when they turn zombie just about look bad enough to keep within its B movie roots, in due course the film enters the zombie genre and becomes a chase film.Zombeavers is a cheesy title but if you enjoyed movies like the original Fright Night or Re-Animator then it deserves your time..
But although it is a bad movie, that is what you could expect with a title like Zombeavers.
This makes it a better alternative from others in the genre, like Lesbian Vampire Killers and all the recent spin- offs of Sharknado, which I also consider a bad movie with some nice moments towards the ending.
I'm a huge fan of terrible horror, because I'm looking for a good laugh, that may or may not be intentional; but not over done like in comedies.
Like I said it's a movie and a pretty good one at that if you have a few hours, you're bored and you think animal zombies can be fun.
B-Movie, laughable horror comedy, raunchy and bloody gore-fest; these are the words that many would use to describe Zombeavers.
OK , so this comedy picture takes you to the next level of bad movie decision..The Story is so good, it should win a Oscar for originality !
The emotions that a comedy/horror movie like this are attempting to evoke come from not knowing what the punchline is or where the creepy-crawly is going to come from next..
If you seek a quality horror film, you watch "Repulsion", "Psycho" or something similar, but if you seek a brainless and cheesy piece of zombie-gore, you can watch a movie like "Zombeavers" and you sure as hell don't complain about how how poor it is, right?
Actually no, because a silly movie like "Zombeavers" could have tried a little bit harder to deliver something that is even trashier, more entertaining and memorable.
Made Before...Still Fun. The Plot.ZOMBEAVERS is an action-packed horror/comedy in which a group of college kids staying at a riverside cabin are menaced by a swarm of deadly zombie beavers.
But I have to admit that I did laugh a few times and that means a lot knowing it's coming from the land of really bad horror comedies.It isn't all laughter there are moments that you will think, naaa this going to be bad after all but it is in fact the way they shot this movie that makes it worth watching.
The opening with the two smashing into a deer is so ridiculous but I was thinking, what does it has to do with the actual story, Well, watch the whole movie and I mean all of it until even the end credits are over.It isn't all top notch the situations and jokes but people who knew their classics some situations will surely ring a bell and there are some gory moments.

With a title like "Zombeavers", you can pretty much assume you're not going to be watching a film for the "Masterpiece Theatre" crowd.
With a concept like zombie beavers, I expected more laughs.
I actually expected the film to be more of a comedy, perhaps like the wonderful spoof "Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil".
A film about zombie beavers and people are saying it is 'stupid'.
This is actually one of the funniest comedy spoof films I've seen in a long time.You should always judge a comedy on how much it makes you laugh, and 'Zombeavers' is a brutally funny film.
The character development is purely excellent and the aspect of suspense is just right.I recommend this movie to everyone who appreciates a great film and has a good taste in cinematography.
Soon the mutant beavers start to attack the friends.Obviously with a title like ZOMBEAVERS this isn't a film to take too serious and thankfully the filmmakers didn't take it too serious either.
Look, if you're watching a film like this then you already know what you're going to get.
The actual look of the beavers was quite funny and I thought the attack sequences were good as well.
-Zombeavers (2015) movie review: -Zombeavers is the latest in the genre of intentionally stupid horror films, this one following a group of young adults staying at a cabin who get attacks by a group of zombie beavers.
-The acting was not bad, except one guy, but nobody was that good.-The characters were all shallow horror-clichés.-I don't remember the music that much, but I do remember a song about Zombeavers at the end.
Sometimes (OK, a lot of the time), I like to curl up on the sofa and watch something totally mindless in order to give the brain cells a good rest after a hard day's graft in front of a hot computer; B-movie creature feature Zombeavers is about as dumb as it gets—and I loved it!
Think along the lines of OTT comedy/horror Piranha 3D and its even more outrageous sequel 3DD, or the equally excessive Feast trilogy, and you'll have a good idea of what to expect from this gloriously daft and very gory piece of good-natured nonsense: a glut of genre clichés, predictably stupid characters, nonsensical plot developments, gratuitous nudity and sex, and cheap and cheerful (mostly) old-school special effects, including numerous shonky beaver puppets and some nifty splatter.I had so much fun with this incredibly silly but amazingly entertaining flick that I'll happily rate it a whopping 8.5/10, rounded up to 9 for letting my favourite girl, Zoe, make it through to the very end.Well, almost..
Lol. It's all worth watching for a couple of good laughs and 60 minutes of beaver bemusement.
I went into this movie about zombie beavers ("Zombeavers") attacking co- eds and turning them into zombies themselves, with a delightful camp expectation- not unlike something like the recent "Sharknado" films.
