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

The entire zombie subgenre has been so over done for so long that I was beginning to worry that there might be no coming back for it. Then, like a good pet who comes when you call him, along comes Fido.
Set in America in the 50's, humanity has survived the zombie apocalypse, which happened much as it did in Romero's "Land of the Dead," and is now living safe inside fenced-in safe zones. There is an invention, a collar of some sort, that is able to quell the zombies' hunger for human ... Read More

This has got to be the dumb move by MPAA giving this fun cute zombie film an R rating when it didn't deserve in the first place it was originally rated PG-13. but then for some reason they decided to give it the dread R because of a little zombie violence and little gore, you guys are wimps. they're no nudity,very mild if not any lauguage and some zombie violence is somewhat minor so it'd give this PG not an R. i'd like to thump the knuckleheads that gave this Rating to Fido. totally just pointless ...

Who says zombies can't be converted into useful members of the community? Certainly not the makers of "Fido," who take us to a never-never-land version of the 1950's where the undead have been turned into butlers and servants for the burgeoning middle class. Timmy Robinson is the all-American boy who becomes emotionally attached to the family`s new full-time domestic - a recently resurrected zombie whom Timmy has affectionately dubbed Fido. All of this has been made possible ... Read More

Every so often a movie comes along in a particular genre and does things "outside the norm."
Fido is such a movie.
Yes, it's about zombies. Yes, it's about gut-munching. Yes, it's about survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
But that's where the similarities end compared to other end-of-the-world zombie flicks.
This movie is more like a cross between Pleasantville and Night of the Living Dead, with a little bit of humor thrown in there as well.

I have to say, before picking this movie up, I saw all of the praise reveiwers were throwing it's way, but still wasn't sold. I finally caved in when I saw some pretty reliable reviews posted by folks I've met through the horror forum here on Amazon, and broke down and bought it. I finally got around to watching it this past weekend, and was surprised. "Fido" is not only original, it's truly funny. The basic premise is that in the 1950's after a zombie outbreak, a scientist has figured out how to tame ... Read More
