Zombeavers - Terror no Lago

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!!!!!!!!!

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)

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.

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.

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
