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)
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. Don't get me wrong, it's no Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, but there's a whole bunch of fun to be had watching the makers purposely tick of the clichés and requisite requirements for such cinematic fare. Some adroit gags exist in amongst the the booby flesh and animatronic chaos, with the dialogue often as razor sharp as the teeth on the disturbed genus Castor beings.
It is never going to be making any horror fan's best of list, and only the infected of mind would heartily recommend it as a must see. But it is a fun picture if you are in the mood to leave your brain at the Beaver Lodge. 6/10

This film is terrible and knows it, you get what you expect, a great b-movie, with wonderfully bad acting, and a bonkers plot. Gave me a fair share of giggles watching this, if you haven't seen it, watch honestly just to experience this. I want more b-movies just like this.
It's cheesy horror at it's best!! Hilarious time!
3 coeds travel to one of their cousins cabins for the weekend. Lil do they know that the local beavers have been exposed to a chemical that has turned them into ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.)"
