Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

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

  • Mark Rahner, Seattle Times

    It's a one-gag movie that starts off clever and cute, but wears thin after half an hour, and ultimately is like an excruciating Enzyte commercial for an hour and a half.

  • 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.

  • Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

    A zombie comedy that feels late to the bloody punch bowl. Yet the real hindrance here isn't bad timing, but the movie's tiresomely chirpy 1950s Father Knows Best setting, which wears out its welcome in seconds.

    I can't help but think that the poster puts off people, it's a little misleading. It's been on my radar for some time now but only because I was curious to see what Billy Connolly looked like as a Zombie. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised, Fido exceeded my… More

    Very funny and somewhat original zombie movie. Really enjoyed it and what a surprise, an original and entertaining movie that has nothing to do with the Hollywood crap conveyor.

  • KJ P


    "Fido" is one of the only films in history to show emotion between a zombie and human. So the story we have all known about zombies is forgotten. Once you die, you become a zombie who is either locked up or wears a collar that stabilizes you as you become a slave for humans.… More

    Fido has got to be one of the most original zombie films that I've seen in quite some time. I felt that this was one of the best zombie comedies to come out since Shaun of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead. Fido is among the best of the zombie comedies, and add to that… More
