FINALLY the riotous horror comedy Zombeavers will be hitting U.S. shores come March 20 (select theaters and VOD) courtesy of Freestyle Releasing and Freestyle Digital Media. I really dug it when I saw it a couple months ago (review) and trust when I say it’s more than just a silly title. Here’s the theatrical trailer, which gives some nice examples of the film’s sharp humor.
It has real comedic chops and despite having a standard rabid animals attack plot, it’s able to squeeze every drop of humor from the ridiculous situation. There’s so many bullshit monster movies out there nowadays that rely on their clever title and little else, but Zombeavers is the real freaking deal!
They’re ferocious, they’re furry, they’re ZOMBEAVERS, the stars of this 2015 horror-comedy, directed by Jordan Rubin. When a trio of sexy college girls (Cortney Palm, Rachel Melvin, Lexi Atkins) arrive at a remote cabin for a weekend getaway, their vacation is quickly jeopardized by a hungry bear, a menacing hunter (Rex Linn), and the girls’ own party-crashing boyfriends (Hutch Dano, Jake Weary, Peter Gilroy). However, these preliminary disturbances are nothing compared to what lurks in the lake by the cabin: The result of a local chemical spill, a horde of bloodthirsty, zombified beavers closes in on the unsuspecting co-eds. It isn’t long before the kids are engaged in a life and death struggle with the ferocious ZOMBEAVERS, but it turns out that the creatures themselves are only the beginning of their nightmare. Featuring cameos by Bill Burr and John Mayer, Zombeavers is infectiously funny and terrifying. Zombeavers. They’ll dam you to hell!
