Art and Erik chomp into the outrageous 2015 horror-comedy Zombeavers, the movie that bravely asks the question no one needed answered: What if a zombie apocalypse… but beavers?
A weekend girls' getaway for three sorority sisters turns into a gnawing nightmare when toxic waste transforms a family of cute, industrious beavers into an army of undead furballs with an unstoppable appetite for flesh, limbs, and very unfortunate college students.
We're diving teeth-first into:
• Zombie beavers with glowing eyes, razor teeth, and zero respect for personal space
• Cabin-in-the-woods chaos dialed up to "did they really just do that?"
• Practical effects that are way better (and wetter) than they have any right to be
• A grizzled beaver hunter who has big Quint-from-Jaws energy and has absolutely seen some things
• Horny twenty-somethings making spectacularly bad survival decisions
Is it dumb? Absolutely.
Is it self-aware? Completely.
Is it secretly kind of impressive? … find out what we think!
From dams to dismemberment, we break down why Zombeavers belongs in the proud tradition of creature features that understand the most important rule of horror comedy: if you're going to be ridiculous, go all in.
