Most viewers should have a pretty good idea going in if Jordan Rubin's Zombeavers is a film they are capable of enjoying. When the story itself is centered around Beavers that somehow mutate into carniverous zombie creatures, it's certainly best to check your brain at the door. Zombiebeavers is another fun horror spoof, but while films like Sharknado seem to be grabbing most of the attention with their over-the-top excess, the lack of excess in a smaller film like Zombiebeavers is one of its stronger attriburtes. Zombiebeavers isn't just interested in being "extreme", instead the film shows geniune sincerity in its horror aspirations. The film does a great job at balancing the line between horror and comedy, and while it's obviously intended to be a spoof, the horror sequences are still imaginative and well-executed. The plot is centered around three attractive college girls (surprise!), who arrive at a remote cabin for a weekend getaway. While things start out well, with lots of time spend down at the lake, they quickly find themselves in for the fight of their lives when the result of a chemical spill creates these bloodthirsty, zombie-esque beavers. Another interesting aspect of Zombeavers is its comical spoof of the relationship drama that always seems to unfold in these movies, where secrets are revealed and friendships are threatened in the heat of a battle for survival. Zombeavers embraces its low-budget b-movie roots, with incredibly cheesy action sequences that bound to get a smile. All the female characters routinely wear gratuitiously revealing outfits, the violence is gorey but silly, and the supporting characters are walking stereotypes, all which together make Zombeavers a worthy spoof of the horror genre.
