Zombeavers - Terror no Lago

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.

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. And what was supposed to be fun and games becomes a matter of life and death.

But thrown in a bunch of zombie beavers and things are turned up a notch. 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 am sure that many will not find it enjoyable, but I did, and it entertained me quite well. 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".

This film is a relatively spoof parody of slasher B-movie horror comedy films. It does what it's intended to- provide some comedic relief and be silly and over the top. The designs of the beavers could have been better but overall Zombeavers provides a certain level of interest. With a few twists in the end and as a film that is quite short, it's a decent watch. Indicated by such a low rating (currently 4.8 IMDB) it seems many people took this film too serious.

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)

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")
