Fido: This is one of the most amazing new school movies I have seen and I love the casting. This is your campy zombie comedy that keeps you laughing and wanting to watch it over and over. This is like the 1950's just amazing color instead of your black and white, moms wear awesome dresses, neighbors bring you pies, dads wear hats and smoking pipes, boys and girls playing outside and having imaginations, cars are huge, BBQs with your friends and afternoon cocktails are a must. 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. The zombies are milkmen, mailmen and any other job that they can do. 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 just in which case he will revert to being a cannibalistic brain-eating zombie. Fido is played by comedian Billy Connolly. Dylan Baker and 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. Fido has an interesting retro spin on zombipocalypse story taking it's cues from old family shows and adding a zombie spin to it, this was directed by Andrew Currie. All and all this is AMAZING! Watch it.
Movie Quote From the School Children in Fido: (singing) "In the head and not the chest. Head shots are the very best."
