Unlikely festival hit ZOMBEAVERS will be splashing up blood in the UK just in time for Halloween. That’s right, Brits: the bizarre dark comedy/horror film has been given an October 20th release date. We Yanks will have to wait a little longer. (Just as we do with THE ‘BURBS Blu-ray!)
Announced earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival, it garnered over 2 million trailer views and became quite the social media and festival sensation. Zombeavers is the horror comedy not to be missed with hysterical interludes, gross-out gore and old school animatronics that will have audiences on the edge of their seats.
Making its highly anticipated UK debut at Film4 FrightFest on Thursday 21st August at the Vue West End cinema, Leicester Square, London, the UK Premiere will be the first opportunity fans will have to see ZOMBEAVERS on the big screen ahead of its home entertainment release.
The film follows a group of college students headed out into the wilderness for spring break, unaware of the danger that lurks beneath the lake. Unbeknownst to the vacationers a chemical spill has irreversibly altered the wildlife and Zombeavers are on the prowl. As a weekend of sex, drugs and debauchery gets underway, the beavers close in on their prey and the bloodthirsty beasts really do take the term ‘killer weekend’ to the next level.
Special features on the Blu-ray include behind the scenes featurettes and deleted scenes.
