Fantastic Zom Com!
Added 11/17/2009
This is a wonderful comedy and zombie film all rolled into one. A beautiful looking film dated in an alternate 50s setting with dressed up technicolor that looks amazing. Great story and acting take place throughout this treat of a film. Fido has its scares and gore too but it's a comedy first and foremost. I simply love this movie. A Blu-Ray release would be awesome.

A Boy And His Zombie...
Added 9/25/2009
The zombie wars have ended. The world has been saved through zombie-containment, and now everyone can own one! FIDO detonates the 1950s ideal society by adding enslaved flesheaters to Pleasantville. The Robinsons (Carrie Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, and K'Sun Ray) are the perfect family unit, w/ the status symbol of a zombie-servant being the one thing they lack. Enter FIDO (Billy Connolly) to make their lives complete. However, accidents do happen, causing slight disturbances in our suburban dreamland. The beauty of FIDO is its use of black humor / parody / satire in order to skewer isolated, separated, sterile suburbia and its inhabitants. As black comedies go, this is a fun, cadaverous classic...

The Atomic Age meets Night of the Living Dead, with loads of laughs
Added 9/8/2009
As a zombie fan I absolutely love this film. It's refreshing to see a comedic take on the zombie genre and really breaks the glaring monotony of running-zombie cash-in flicks abound at the box office.
A fan of tradition slow-walking zombies, and of Day of the Dead to which this film pays incredible homage too, Fido is the funniest film since Shaun of the Dead in that it doesn't try to be every other zombie movie. There aren't supersonic-hopped-up-on-caffeine-and-steroids fueled fast zombies here, so if your looking for that kind of action, check out something else. Otherwise if you're looking a campy giggle, pop this into your DVD player, you won't be disappointed.
As a parting note, I really dig the Retro feel of the film. They really went the mile in bringing to life the 1950's Americana complete with vibrant colors and Apple pie in the Sky attitude. Plus Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity from the Matrix films) is absolutely hilarious when she dances with Fido.
