Two reckless truck drivers transporting toxic chemical products hit a deer on the road and one barrel falls off in the river and is carried to a beaver's dam. The college mates Mary (Rachel Melvin), Zoe (Cortney Palm) and Jenn (Lexi Atkins) travel to a cabin nearby the dam that belongs to Mary's aunt Myrne Gregorson (Phyllis Katz). They swim in the lake and unsuccessfully seek a beaver at the dam; however they stumble with a bear and the hunter Smyth (Rex Linn) saves them. During the night, their boyfriends Sam (Hutch Dano), Tommy (Jake Weary) and Buck (Peter Gilroy) arrive at the cabin and Mary and Zoe have sex while Jenn has an argument with her unfaithful boyfriend. When Jenn goes to the bathroom, she is attacked by a beaver but Tommy kills the animal that appears to have rabies. On the next morning, the group goes swimming in the lake and they are attacked by zombie beavers. Will they succeed to escape?
"Zombeavers" is a trash slasher that entertains. The silly story is funny and the screenplay is typical of a B-movie, with breasts, sex and original deaths. In the end of the credits, there is a hilarious scene with the "zombees". My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Zombeavers – Pânico no Lago" ("Zombeavers – Panic in the Lake")

Ummm. this movie does exactly what it sets out to do, and does it well. had some good laughs. And it didn't just feel like some crappy movie they made as a stunt, it was actually well-made in a lot of ways. And during the parts I wasn't laughing, I was still smiling and amused (2 viewings)
WTF!
It was the weirdest guilty pleasure I've ever seen. 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. (just noting, nothing ever good happens to people under the age of 24 who go into the woods to have sex).
You get the idea from here where the story is going. 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.

This movie isn't bad, but at the same time, it isn't good. It's somewhere in-between. It's a funny movie, and the movie goes nowhere. Everyone dies, and that's that. Obviously, the budget was very low for this movie, and there's just a lot of blood. You don't really get scared. It's not that scary. It's basically making fun of scary horror movies, just like the Scary Movie series. If it was intended to be a horror movie, then it would suck, but because it is suppose to be comedic, it's not that bad. So if you're in to bloody comedy, this movie is for you. You'll be laughing your head off at some points in the movie.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne character mentions the Giardia lamblia parasite, which causes diarrhea and sometimes fever. Giardia was, during the 1970s, thought to be associated with beavers (hence the nickname "beaver fever"), but no connection with a specific animal has ever been shown. Between infecting hosts - often horses, cows and sheep - Giardia lives for several months in streams, lakes and water pools.
- Goofs(at around 37 mins) The girl with the yellow swimsuit stabs the beaver in the head. Several seconds later, when the band is examining this beaver, the knife has moved - now, it's not in the beaver's head, but in his back.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, in regards to animal cruelty, the statement reads as follows: "No animals were harmed in the making of this film, although the bear did receive a purple nurple (not our fault, he started it.)"
