Movie Reviews of Fido

Movie Review: A Boy And His Zombie...
Summary: 5 Stars

The zombie wars have ended. The world has been saved through zombie-containment, and now everyone can own one! FIDO detonates the 1950s ideal society by adding enslaved flesheaters to Pleasantville. The Robinsons (Carrie Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, and K'Sun Ray) are the perfect family unit, w/ the status symbol of a zombie-servant being the one thing they lack. Enter FIDO (Billy Connolly) to make their lives complete. However, accidents do happen, causing slight disturbances in our suburban dreamland. The beauty of FIDO is its use of black humor / parody / satire in order to skewer isolated, separated, sterile suburbia and its inhabitants. As black comedies go, this is a fun, cadaverous classic...

Movie Review: Typical...
Summary: 5 Stars

another fantastic movie that not enough people have heard about. I don't think I've seen another movie quite like it. Well developed characters and apart from the extremely off-beat situations mostly a very subtle comedy.

I would heartily recommend buying this movie and telling your friends about it.

I will warn you though if you're after a dark, guts and gore zombie movie this isn't it. It is first and foremost a comedy. Apart from the odd scene where a zombie chows down it could almost be a family movie. I suspect though that even if a kid didn't get it, they would still find it fun.

Movie Review: I want a Zombie!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie. From the beginning it starts like an old informational film they showed our parents in school about nuclear attacks and foreign invasions. It creates a rich blend of campy b movies with a depth that is rarely found in movies. The background message is watch how we treat people and how our own fears and insecurities influence how we function in society and act towards certain groups of people. If you are a Zombie fan you will love it just for the flesh eaters alone, but if you are into indie films that have a deeper message than face value this is a must see.

For me this movie ranks up there of one of the best comedies of all time, taking place in the glorious 50's a Zombie movie with a fantastic story line which I won't get into because some may reviewers have done such a good job ...The quality of the movie shooting is first rate ,great camera angles and glorious colors The cars of the fifties are so beautiful they even have a classic Jaguar, also the most realistic gun shots I have ever heard in the movies,acting is great If you love comedy and Zombies you must see this movie. One of the best in years....

Movie Review: Completely Original and Thoroughly Enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars

I fully expected this to be just another campy zombie movie and to my pleasant surprise it turned out to be highly original and beautifully filmed and acted. Theres a lot going on in this film. Its funny and profound in turn. This is great entertainment and great art and I encourage everyone not to pigeonhole this based on its cover and check it out. P.S. This film in no way, shape, or form, deserves the one and two star reviews it's received. Unless those reviewers have directed or producted feature films, they should consider tempering their judgements a bit.
