    It doesn't take long for the hilarity of Fido's central idea to kick in: the world is reeling from the Zombie War, and the undead are being contained in two different ways. Some of them are roaming loose in fenced-off wilderness zones. The rest are, thanks to the good people at the ZomCom corporation, docile and domesticated--indeed, available as house servants for the upwardly-mobile. Such is the case with the Robinson family, a suburban clan who seem to have stepped straight out of an old episode of Lassie. Little Timmy is happy about the new manservant, whom he promptly dubs "Fido," and Fido himself is fine as long as the mechanical collar around his neck doesn't malfunction (in which case he will revert to being a cannibalistic brain-eating zombie). Fido is played, in a stroke of inspiration, by the Scots comedian Billy Connolly, although you wouldn't be able to recognize him without already knowing he's in the movie. Dylan Baker and especially Carrie-Anne Moss are just right as Timmy's parents, who have accidentally wandered out of a John Cheever novel and into a George Romero world. Director Andrew Currie skillfully gets the 1950s satire and the zombie action right, although there's no way to disguise that this premise is too thin to spread out over feature length. For a while, though, Fido hits a stride--a staggering, vacant-eyed stride. --Robert Horton

    4 out of 5 stars Fido Come Home!   February 9, 2010
    Larry Reid (Nashville, TN United States)
    Scottish actor, musician and general madman Billy Connolly plays the title role of Fido...a Zombie who is somewhat under control due to an electric shock collar he wears. In this 1950's setting, every family has a household Zombie for doing dirty little jobs around the house and general amusement. From there it gets really weird. Extremely loosely based on "Lassie Come Home", this very dark comedy takes turns that make you wonder what the writers were ingesting. Carrie-Annie Moss and Dylan Baker play mom and dad. It is worth the price of the movie to sit and stare blankly at Moss, even in 1950s frocks. Gadzooks! Some laughter, some gore, some burning children...some movie. If you loved "Harold and Maude" or "The Boondock Saints," you will enjoy this one.


    5 out of 5 stars Why Zombie Movies are Better than Vampire Movies   February 8, 2010
    Thomas H. Jones II
    This movie is great in the same way that Shaun of the Dead is: it has an underlying silly premise (even sillier than that which inherent in the whole zombie genre) and runs with it. Even more, it stays internally consistent to the universe it establishes. That universe is a wonderfully technicolor version of post art-deco era early 1950s.

    Can't say enough about this movie. It's a great party movie and should really be near the top of must-see cult classics.



    5 out of 5 stars ALTERNATIVE ZOMBIE WORLD FOR ALTERNATIVE ADULTS ONLY   December 16, 2009
    Richard Ferrie (San Jose, CA)
    FIDO takes place in an alternate past where heroism in the Zombie wars (rather than WWII) defined masculinity and social status. Here, Zombies are tamed by a control collar; the failure to own one of these indentured dead is tantamount to not having a TV set. Some awareness of the nature of the 1950s (including the film OLD YELLER), as well as at least a rudimentary sense of irony and satire, may--from the sound of other reviews here--prove to be critical in the enjoyment of this fine film. For narrative writers and film-makers, this is a must-have. Deleted scenes will have anyone who lives by story-telling arguing whether or not the director went too far in trimming out vital aspects of the plot to keep the narrative ball rolling at a fast clip. Highly recommended for those who enjoy fine film making--and, yes, it's a whole lot of fun.


    5 out of 5 stars Most original zombie movie I've ever seen   November 27, 2009
    Adam Fox (Savannah, GA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Fido is the most original zombie story that I have ever seen.

    I'm not a big fan of typical zombie stories with the same repetitive survival plot used over and over again. So, when I say that Fido's fresh new take on what a zombie movie could be, has become my favorite MOVIE of all time (not just favorite zombie movie), you understand how amazing this movie is.

    Fido is a smart blend of dark comedy and horror with many interesting and lovable characters that you are sure to enjoy.



    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Zom Com!   November 17, 2009
    HorrorGuy (Riverside, CA United States)
    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.
