Zombeavers



The title alone sells this really good horror comedy.  Horror DTV movies come out in droves and sadly most of them are not very good but Zombeavers is one of the rare exceptions.  This movie starts out like Return of the Living Dead as two dopey guys delivering some toxic chemicals lose one of the toxic barrels from their truck and it of course gets deposited into the nearby lake that is heavily populated by big, furry beavers (Sure, pun intended.) and the chemicals go all over the beaver dams.
 
Three college girls are on a trip to a cousin’s lake house and it is supposed to be a get away from the boys as one of the girls has found out her boyfriend is cheating on her.  They get to the house, meet the neighbors, find they have no cell service but they do have something called a land line, and they get bored and decide to go swimming.  While on the dock in the lake they see a beaver dam and decide to go check it and meet one of the locals which leads up to the greatest exchange of words in the movie.

Later that night the boyfriends decide to show up as well as a beaver in the house but they dispose of it and throw it in a bag on the front porch.  The next morning while heading out to the lake they notice the bag with the supposed dead beaver is empty.  How is that so?  Give it a spin and find out for yourself.  This is a well-made movie as the production values look really good, the effects are great, and it does not take itself too serious as it winks to many past horror movies and even Die Hard.  This movie is a lot of fun and is highly recommended if you are looking for a horror comedy.  This is one dam good movie.
