If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This movie is one hour and seventeen minutes, yet it feels like an eternity. The only parts of the movie that aren't mind numbingly boring are the scenes where the beavers actually attack. The name Zombeavers is a bit misleading too. The beavers got transformed by toxic waste, they aren't dead. And how could it make their bites transform humans into beavers? This is proof that Bill Burr will do anything.
Truth be told, I watch these awful SyFy original movies simply for the joy of watching how terribly put together they are. This one however had me a bit more intrigued than many of the other one's I have seen. While the plot is still fairly basic (College girls get together to show off their boobs and butts and have sex with the most dimwitted idiots they can find) out on a lake. The beavers are actually fairly well designed. If I didn't constantly see that I am in fact watching a SyFy original, I might have actually said this was a good movie. Well not really, but in this case that's okay, like I said, the entertainment is partially in how bad the movie truly is. The ending will leave your jaw dropping and also make you laugh your behinds off. Not a bad watch if you have nothing better to do.
"Nice beaver!" – Lt. Frank Drebin. "Thanks. I just had it stuffed." – Jane Spencer.That famous (or maybe, just to me) Naked Gun joke is my contribution to a lake of more "beaver" references in Zombeavers.There's not much to report to a film called "Zombeavers" other than: if you like When Animals Attack films like I do, you might like this. If you like zombie movies, well, eh, I guess? And if you like horror- comedies, this worked for about half the jokes. (That half actually made me laugh out loud – mainly the two truck drivers, but sadly the other fifty percent was either unfunny, overkill or missed the mark and many opportunities.)Someone I know compared this to a Syfy Channel movie, like that godawful Sharknado. I disagree. While the premise: "Return of the Living Dead meets The Evil Dead having Cabin Fever inside The Cabin in the Woods near The Raft" sounds suspect, it's moderately above that trashy schlock/CGI the Syfy channel spits out in seconds.Granted, the budget didn't seem that high and some of the Zombeaver- attacks seemed either intentionally funny or not, but at least the cast was taking it dead-serious. That part, and the 50% humor that really worked, I admired. Going by the title alone, you know what you're getting yourself into. It's not the best horror-comedy, in fact, it ranks pretty low in that subgenre, but you could do a bunch worse. Like said (ALL) Syfy Channel movies. ***Final thoughts: Stay through the credits for two Marvel-esque post film/credit scenes. They're both worth it. Well, if you made it that far in the film, anyways.
We watched this as part of our 'Scary Night In' Halloween evening! And to be honest it was fun and hilarious!! It is what it is - it's just light hearted and a spoof. Although it made me jump on a number of occasions! It's not the best acting and I doubt it was marketed as that either. Pick the person you want to go first and guess who you think might last!! 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. Maybe that's why by the end we thought it was a brilliant film!!! Note to self: gin is not the best sip to have with the number of 'beavers' in this film!!
