This movie is not cookie-cutter. Imagine a world where most dead become zombies -- and somehow they are harnessed and become useful members of society. Of course, for the movie to work, sometimes the zombie control collars malfunction, and the zombies go back to their human-eat...( read more)

Cleverly written and brilliantly acted, hands down THE MOST colorful "zombie film" that I have ever seen! And quite possibly the funniest "zombie film' that I have ever seen, though 'Sean Of The Dead' is "right up there".
If you are a fan of 50's Sci-Fi, Zombie Films or Dark...( read more) -

At a risk of sounding slightly sacrilegious, on first viewing I'm kind of inclined to put this right up on a par with 'Shaun of the Dead'. Now, given I view Simon Pegg as an unquestionable comedy genius, I realise this is a rather big claim. And to what extent you agree with that...( read more)

When it comes to putting monsters on film, there is a certain 'natural order' of things. When a monster is new to the medium and still relatively unknown in the minds of the audience, just his mere presence is frightful enough. As the creature becomes more familiar to movie goer...( read more)

50s. cute and colorful. light-hearted zombie flick. Zomcon was an interesting concept. A reason to shoot your annoying (dead) relatives in the head!

Loved this movie.
I'm quite zombie movie fan anyways, but this is up there of great zombie movies. Its funny, well writen, great cast and Billy Connolly isn't actually annoying in this! Loved it. The little boy is awsome! -

How an extremly funny man like Billy Connolly can be in a film that seems "kid-friendly" I'll never know! By the way, I accidentally mistook Carrie-Anne Moss for Demi Moore in this film! Anyone else notice this? If so, please comment! :)

This movie was fantastic. I highly recommend it for anyone who's still on the fence about seeing it.
Critic Reviews
It's beautifully filmed (in the saturated primary colors of 1950s-style Technicolor), and it features a performance by the veteran Scottish actor Billy Connolly that's a small marvel of comic resource... full review
The concept is great and the movie has its moments. Just not enough of them. full review
Director Andrew Currie is better at laughs than scares, but he can't sustain either as Fido runs out of steam in the final stretch. full review
Effective and funny pot shots are taken at a repressive period in time. The gentle little film won't, however, blow your mind. full review
You say, Enough zombies already? No, please, make room for Fido. A shotgun wedding of George Romero and SCTV, it's madly funny -- a treat for moviegoers who don't mind gnawed-off limbs with their high... full review
Fido never goes anywhere interesting or particularly funny with its sketch-comedy premise. full review

November 26, 2007Some movies are not made more mainstream consumption. This movie is in the zombie genre, but is even more unique in that it is a comedy akin to movies like Shuan of the Dead, Black Sheep and zombie honeymoon, which to many people are considered B movies, but to many people are also considered GREAT!! I look forward to seeing this and the suspense is eating me alive! :P :)

April 15, 2007chaotix567: Uh, people have already seen the movie. For one, it's already been shown at film festivals such as Sundance and the Vancouver International Film Festival. For two, at least in Vancouver (I'm not sure in other cities and countries), it's been on the big screen for five weeks already.
