SciFridays curses those dam “Zombeavers” (2014)

Baddie – Pollution. Nature doesn’t like it. Lesson – Dam teenagers. I’m a terrible horror movie blogger. Not for the same reasons that the internet thinks, but because somehow this little gem of a movie about zombie beavers slipped through my grasp in 2014.
