The scene itself is a brief excerpt of the whole work. I doubt the transformation runs longer than a few seconds. Just look at online reviews of movies on youtube, they contain clips of various scenes, it's not as though there's no precedence for that sort of thing.

Sorry for the delay here. I would have posted this yesterday, but I watched some other movies at the festival and ended up with a lot of sleep to catch up with >_<.

The movie itself did not disappoint. Despite the first few minutes being filled with crude, fecal-matter level humor, it quickly distances itself from that and becomes genuinely funny. Don't expect any cerebral humor though, it's as silly as can be with lots of corny one liners and over the top situations. You wouldn't believe how smart zombie-beavers can be =P. I would compare it to the movie Black Sheep in a way, with less gore and an added dash of nudity. With the exception of the transformation scene, I honestly enjoyed Zombeavers more out of the two.

Speaking of, let's get to what you're all really interested in hearing about =P. As far as the on-screen transformation process goes, what you see in the trailer is pretty much what you get; with the only missing part being her claws growing from under her nail beds. After that you get to see her "fully changed", which once again is pretty much how you see her in the trailer: slightly-hunched back and glued-on hair on her body. To be perfectly honest the effects are well done even though I would have preferred a less human final form and a more detailed transformation process.

There is, however, one redeemable part. I can confirm that she indeed grows a beaver tail. It was quick, but I think I've noticed a not fully-grown tail behind her right after her transformation. It was only for a few frames and might be wishful thinking on my part I'll admit =P. Later on though, there's a very interesting tail-thumping scene where you get a nice close up of her from behind as she hits the floor repeatedly with her new appendage =).

All in all Zombeavers is a very good movie for fans of the horror/comedy genre, and even though the transformation scene itself isn't detailed much, I'd recommend it to TF fans just for the tail scene, as it's something we rarely see. I'm already looking forward to the DVD release, just to watch it again.

Thanks man, that's good to hear!

[mysteryman29]

Awesome! It actually sounds great and is exactly what I figured we'd get out of the scene. Personally, I like the fact that she's more of a human-beaver hybrid and still maintains some of her beauty.

Considering female TFs in movies are few and far between to begin with, the fact that she has a tail and they actually show it growing and in motion makes this sound like a home run!

Can't wait to see it! Thank you so much for the review!

Unfortunately you don't see the tail actually growing; now that would have been something to cheer about. Like I said I think you see it partly-grown in one shot (but I'd have to take a look at it again to be sure) and the next time you see her she has a full-grown tail.

As for it being in motion, I can affirm without too much of a doubt that there's no animatronics involved. It's all down to the actress squatting and shaking her bottom up and down to slap the tail against the ground.

Sorry if I made it sound any different before.

No, I admit I haven't. This one is also playing at the Festival, but I don't really feel like watching it. Another movie playing there that might interest people is When Animals Dream. It does seem so incredibly boring to me though =(. While I do love tfs, I'm not going to go watch a movie just for it unless I already know or have a strong feeling the tf is going to be great, I'd rather just watch a nice movie and have the tf as a bonus ;-).

[Chef123]

Even if the Tf scene is short and not very detailed, I'm looking forward to see the girl with the beaver's tail. That's something you don't see around that much...

[mysteryman29]

Yeah, agreed. Even if there's no process to the tail growth, I think this still sounds like a win! Female TFs that include tails are practically unheard of in movies.

Thank you again very much for the clarification and the report on the film, Kitsune!

So it sounds like americans finally figured out how to make fun horror movies again? I'm honestly shocked.

its mostly male TF, but there is a woman to lizard TF near the end. The movie is intentionally shlocky,but it still made me laugh. Its a low budget canadian film, but it still manages to make do with what it had
