Movie Reviews of FidoMovie Review: THE CLEAVER'S GET A ZOMBIE! Summary: 4 StarsWell, 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!
Summary of FidoTimmy robinsons 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. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/09/2008 Starring: Dylan Baker Billy Connolly Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R 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
