ZOMBEAVERS is an action-packed horror/comedy in which a group of college kids staying at a riverside cabin are menaced by a swarm of deadly zombie beavers. A weekend of sex and debauchery soon turns gruesome as the beavers close in on the kids. Riding the line between scary, sexy and funny, the kids are soon fighting for their lives in a desperate attempt to fend off the hoard of beavers that attack them in and around their cabin. (official distributor synopsis)

Zombeavers is an unbelievably insane pile of bollocks of giant proportions and it is obvious that even the creators themselves conceived this unconventional animal horror as a complete freak show. A bunch of universally unlikeable college kids, whom you would throw those beavers at just on principle and for fun, take a trip to the (seemingly) unspoiled outdoors, but their horny plans are disrupted by a bunch of mutant beavers, and everyone involved gets caught up in a maddeningly nauseating merry-go-round of events. The result is an incredible blend of black and fecal humor and stupidity with no respect for anything, or anyone alive, but which successfully pokes fun at itself.

In order to repeat the audience interest as in the case of "Sharknado", it is necessary to have at least a few interesting actors and characters, to come up with something that works more comprehensively and where there is real humor, or at least some memorable scene, which is basically missing in "Zombeavers". The effort is here, but the creators simply relied on the fact that the title itself would be so crazy that it wouldn't matter that there are actually zombie beavers in the film. If they were zombie pumpkins, the result would probably be the same. I simply expected more fun.
