Theatrical Trailer for ‘Zombeavers’ Dams You to Hell!

Published

on

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!

on

Hollywood is serious about landing the next Backrooms. Hot on the heels of a Siren Head feature announcement, Deadline reports that a new movie based on viral YouTube series The Mandela Catalogue is in development.

It also has some Hollywood heavy hitters behind it.

Amblin Entertainment’s Steven Spielberg, United Artists’ Scott Stuber (Frankenstein), and Amazon MGM Studios are set to produce, emerging victorious after a highly competitive 11-studio bidding war.

Launched in 2021, the YouTube series is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin which is “invaded by shape-shifting, nearly immortal creatures called Alternates. The Alternates are led by a false depiction of the Archangel Gabriel and their aim is to wipe out the human race by psychologically torturing them to the point of suicide. The Alternates are known for manipulating AV media, TVs, computers and GPS systems.”

The movie will be directed by the series’ creator, Alex Kister, based on a screenplay he adapted with Tyler Clifton.

The Mandela Catalogue has racked up an impressive 100 million views across its official episodes alone, solidifying it as one of the largest original analog horror franchises on YouTube.

Spielberg and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside Aaron B. Koontz for Paper Street Pictures and Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists. Kister and Clifton are also producing. Annie McCreery will oversee the project for United Artists. Maria Fortese will oversee for Amblin.
