https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7onFrBK_hKE The words horror comedy are usually a turn off for most critics, which begs the question: would you rather see a movie about zombie beavers played straight? Zombeavers is at heart a Roger Corman creature feature, only its better written, better acted and all the laughs are intentional. When a barrel of toxic waste washes up near the cabin where 3 college girls are on vacation, it turns the local beaver population into oversized monsters with a taste for human flesh, which the girls realize as soon as they decide to go topless at the lake. All a fan of this kind of thing wants to know is if the effects are better than your average SyFy movie, to which the answer is an emphatic yes. Its also better paced and has more likeable characters, though itll still be remembered as the first movie where the beaver eats the guy.
