    Product Description
    TIMMY ROBINSON'S BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS A SIX-FOOT TALL ROTTING ZOMBIE NAMED FIDO. BUT WHEN FIDO EATS THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, MOM & DAD HIT THE ROOF & TIMMY HAS TO GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO KEEP FIDO A PART OF THE FAMILY.

    Amazon.com
    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

    What a great and fun movie! Like Shawn of the Dead meets Leave it to Beaver. 5 stars for a great idea. If you liked Mystery Science 3000, you'll like this too.


    5 out of 5 stars Don't let the cover fool you!!   June 27, 2009

    This is the kind of picture that makes you feel "safe", even with the impending danger all around. It takes place in the 50's. At least that is what the movie gives the impression. It is a bit strange, but after watching it and through, you'll understand where the movie is coming from. The main theme of the movie (without spoiling anything) is that the dead are more alive than the living. It's sometimes subtle in the humor and others are flat out blatent. This is a pretty "clean" movie in terms of nudity, language. But, then again it's pretty gruesome without being overly explicit. The story is original, yet, some familiar elements from the Day of the Dead horror movie in which scientist learn how to "enslave" the living dead and keep them as servants. But, it's interesting how certain circumstances play out.

    In a way, the movie is in the vein of Tim Burton where it's strangely colorful and almost comic book like.

    If you want a movie that is quirky and funny, without being really horrifying, this is a great movie to see. If you are looking for something more true to the zombie movies with all the blood and gore, than you'll need to look elsewhere.

    Start off with a nicely sized portion of "Leave it to Beaver", season liberally with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", toss lightly with a little "28 Days Later", and serve immediately to an enthusiastic audience. Such is the recipe for "Fido". A movie that, like an AM/PM Mini-Mart, simply has too much good stuff. If you like your Zombies with a dash of humor, rent or buy Fido today. This is the funniest film you've never heard of.

    ! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
    Well, what can be said about a film that takes the Lassie TV series and mixes it with Edward Scissorhands and The Return Of The Living Dead? A lot actually! This is a very funny satire with a unique look that is way better than it should be.

    The film's bright color palette reminded me of the suburban setting of Edward Scissorhands with the innocents of a 50's TV sitcom. Scottish comedian Billy Connolly is unrecognizable as the title character, but delivers an excellent performance as a zombie...with a heart? lol!

    This film stays pretty fresh from beginning to end or at least as long as it could possible stay with all that rotting flesh! This dark comedy is a winner guys and is must see viewing for fans of horror, comedy and of course...zombie films!

    This movie is by no means scary, but it is definitely entertaining. It is a pretty amusing movie that doesn't have much depth to it, but nonetheless is a great movie to watch. I recommend it :)
