Zombeavers

C’est une série B en plein, peut-être même une série C, mais pour un samedi soir, ce type de distraction est un choix acceptable. Je dois reconnaître que l’idée de base m’a beaucoup enthousiasmé – des castors mutants, je n’y aurais pas pensé, même si j’ai déjà vu des tas de films d’horreur en tous genres. Mais ici, c’est plutôt une comédie avec des éléments horrifiques. En tout cas pour moi, c’est le côté comédie qui l’emporte et l’aspect horrifique m’a parfois énervé tant il était incroyablement amateur. Je préfère me passer d’évaluer la pseudo-intrigue relationnelle. Je vais être gentil et mettre deux étoiles, mais là, j’ai ma dose d’animaux mutants pour un certain temps (pour ne pas dire un temps certain). (16/02/2015)

If someone played me Zombeavers without telling me what year the film was from, I'd guess the 90s. The girls here are gorgeous, and I commend their courage to show up like that, but the rest of it didn't impress me at all. The beavers are artificial, the gore is also poorly done. There is gore and there is gore, it's the same as if I had a stew in a royal restaurant or in some seedy dungeon, the difference and quality is big and I don't like that! Too bad, I was hoping it would be a similar gore ride to Piranha, but I was wrong. Luckily I didn't get diarrhea, and my wrinkles didn't pop out either, so it's watchable. 45% (30/10/2014)

To replicate the audience interest like in Sharknado, you need at least a few interesting actors and characters, something more thought out that works on a deeper level, with genuine humor or at least some memorable scenes, which is essentially lacking in Zombeavers. The effort is there, but the creators relied too much on the outrageous title to carry the film, without realizing that it doesn't quite matter that there are zombie beavers in the movie. If they were zombie pumpkins, the result would likely be the same. I just expected to have more fun with it. (24/11/2014)

Zombeavers is an unbelievably insane pile of bollocks of giant proportions and it is obvious that even the creators themselves conceived this unconventional animal horror as a complete freak show. A bunch of universally unlikeable college kids, whom you would throw those beavers at just on principle and for fun, take a trip to the (seemingly) unspoiled outdoors, but their horny plans are disrupted by a bunch of mutant beavers, and everyone involved gets caught up in a maddeningly nauseating merry-go-round of events. The result is an incredible blend of black and fecal humor and stupidity with no respect for anything, or anyone alive, but which successfully pokes fun at itself. (19/03/2021)
