deancapetanelis 10 stars because it really is better than the 4.8 stars it has right now. It's actually a much better film than it's low budget looks would belie. Shut your brain off and just enjoy it for the so bad it's good B movie it is. I would definitely enjoy the sequel hinted at after the credits and Courtney Palm is definitely an actress I would like to see more from.
O2D 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.
Argemaluco Zombie beavers. Do I need to say more? Unfortunately, yes. Needless to say, a film like Zombeavers can't be taken seriously, and I appreciated the affection for the horror genre with which this film was made. However, the screenplay isn't very satisfactory, the performances are irritating and the general narrative laziness wastes the opportunity to make something genuinely innovative and subversive (as an example of what it could have been, I can mention the very superior New Zealander film Black Sheep, with which Zombeavers shares many similarities... so many that it seems a bit suspicious). I know that the intentional mediocrity and celebration of the absurd are the rationale of Zombeavers, but its one-joke premise isn't enough to support the humor during the few 77 minutes of running time (including long sequences of initial and end credits). The humor of Zombeavers relies too much on stupidity as a replacement of ingenuity. The screenplay includes many intentionally ridiculous moments, but very few of them are genuinely funny (I admit that the "Whack-a-Mole" scene made me laugh). Another contradiction is the special effects, made in the practical way with puppets and latex make-up which are quite grotesque, but not very realistic. The problem is that the beavers are shot in a way that their artificial origin is too evident, and it ends up seeming like a fail which, intentional or not, damages the flow of the film. Yes, I know that everything is part of the joke, but I feel that it would have been better to display the beavers less and elevate the horror aspects, with which it would have been a better balanced movie; in other words, less Hobgoblins and more Tremors. Anyway, I have to admit that Zombeavers kept me moderately entertained and it made me smile in a few occasions, so I can give it a slight recommendation despite its mediocrity.
jo_bingham1234 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!!
