Zombeavers: Yea, I watched it.



So, I finally gave in to Netflix's constant pestering recommendation of Zombeaevers.  The best way I can summarize this movie is to ask the question: what would Jason Voorhees do if he were a beaver?  I do not want to give any spoilers in case anybody reading this wants to give the movie a shot.  I will say that if you have an hour and seventeen minutes or so, you might want to think about trying to watch it.  But seriously, the movie does not seem to be meant for academic or professional criticism.  So, any reviews out there that try and turn this in to an academic enterprise, or apply a lot of fancy vocabulary while staring down their noses critiquing this film are going to come off as awfully pedantic and pompous (yea, kind of like that last sentence sounded).

Zombeavers is a comedy/horror movie, but weighing more heavily on comedy rather than horror.  As mentioned above, you could take any movie from the Friday the 13th franchise formula (expect Jason in space or Jason vs. Freddy) and replace Jason with raging beavers.  A group of females go to a cabin deep in the woods to party, drink, and escape their boyfriends.  A water supply is tainted with toxic sludge and beavers ingest the chemicals becoming zombeavers.  The beavers then begin to terrorize the females and everybody in the small surrounding community.  This is a summary of the plot in a nutshell without giving any spoilers to the "twists" within the plot.

The enjoyment one might receive from watching this film is not from the suspense, intensity, or any passionate love story between characters.  Instead, if you are someone who can stomach some gory scenes, laugh at the ridiculous story, and allow yourself to be entertained by crude and sophomoric humor, then you'll be just fine.  You might even recommend it to somebody else.

Oh and if you do watch it, watch the bloopers and cut scenes at the very end.  You can tell that this movie was fun for the cast to make.
