Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    This indie exercise is so stultifying you might want to check your own pulse.

  • Ty Burr, Boston Globe

    The movie's breezy, blood-flecked entertainment, with no aim other than to give you a giggle and a shriek.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Fido is a one-joke movie with some good performances and a few good gross-out moments. But it's not dark enough or sick enough to be a cult favorite.

  • Manohla Dargis, New York Times

    In the ticklishly amusing satire Fido, the undead stagger along like stunned toddlers.

  • Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

    Fido does offer a good number of laughs, along with a healthy serving of gore to satisfy horror fans.

    This could be my new favorite zombie flick ever. It's got everything.. the 1950's, slow moving classic zombies, romance and it's funny. I loved the costumes too. Such a good idea for a movie.

    Many films concerning zombies are naturally horror, and usually an examination of the problems in society. This film, with a backdrop of the 50's in all it's Cold War heyday, is much more of a comedy. The ridiculous history of the zombie infection, Zomcon, and the uncaring… More

    I really don't like zombie movies usually but I liked this one enough to watch it twice. Very clever.
