Aborted Arc: The plot point of Sam's infidelity gets put on hold towards the end of the movie and never actually concludes, on account of all of the involved parties dying.

Mistaken for Flirting: At one point Jenn comes into Mary's room as though trying to be seductive, prompting Mary to wonder if she was angry about Sam cheating because it was her rather than because he cheated, but Mary protests that she doesn't think of Jenn that way... before Jenn starts to transform into a part-beaver herself.

Wham Shot: Jenn suddenly mutating into a beaver-zombie for two reasons: she was the Decoy Protagonist, and the reveal that the zombie beavers are contagious comes out as a surprise if only because it is shown really late into the movie.

Book Ends: The same careless truckers appear in the first scene and the last scene. In the first scene, they run over a deer, accidentally dumping the chemicals into the lake. In the final scene they run over the Final Girl.

Zombie Infectee: Towards the end of the movie, Mary and Sam undress in front of each other to make sure neither of them has any bites or scratch marks. It turns out to be for nothing, as Sam gets bitten moments later, and Mary turns out to have been infected by contact with Beaver!Jenn's saliva.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Although a necessary evil since it allowed everyone to escape, Sam sacrificing Zoe's dog so they can escape the lake is just another example of how much of an asshole he is. Especially since he had a previous scene discussing his affair with Mary.

 Zombeavers / int_df410b77
comment
Decoy Protagonist: Jenn, as it turns out, she hits a lot of points for being a protagonist at first (her emotional problems are presented as a major plot point, she appears to be the most careful and savvy of the six characters, she does not have sex during the movie while everyone else does, and she has an encounter with a beaver alone while isolated from the group). And then she turns into a beaver-zombie.

comment
Dwindling Party: Tommy is the first to bite the dust when the beavers make a tree fall on him and crush him (he apparently is revived as a zombie later, but is still pinned to the ground and unable to move), then the neighbors are found out to be dead and turn into zombies later. Jenn and Buck, who had encounters with the beavers earlier, turn soon thereafter, Beaver!Buck kills Smyth and Beaver!Jenn kills Sam. After Mary and Zoe manage to drive off, Mary starts to turn and Zoe kills her. Ultimately, Zoe herself is run over by the truckers from the beginning of the movie.
