Amateur movie with Big budget

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This 2006 zombie comedy is really one of a kind, and it is also the type of movie that you can watch again and again.The story in "Fido" is very enjoyable, and there are some very impressive names on the cast list, such as Billy Connolly and Carrie-Anne Moss, to pinpoint but two of these.The characters in "Fido" are very nicely fleshed out, pardon the pun, and they are characters that you take a liking to right away.For a zombie movie, then special effects and make-up is a thing that must be working on the screen. And I will say that the special effects in the movie were good, despite the fact that this is not a gory type of zombie movie.The atmosphere throughout the entire movie was great, and they really captured that 1950s essence.If you enjoy the lighter zombie comedies that make their way into the zombie genre, then "Fido" will definitely be something for you. Take a bite at it before it bites at you...

This one deserves all the accolades! Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish with great performances, awesome effects, and a fun plot. I was really hooked. I love the actor playing the lead zombie. He was so good, and of course, I love Trinity from The Matrix. She always knocks it out of the park.If you thought zombie movies were dead, think again. They keep finding new ways to make them interesting, and this one doesn't disappoint. The music was well done too and the pacing was fantastic. I was never bored at all despite how many movies I watch a day. I think Fido will have to go on my to-watch list for every Halloween. It's going to be a tradition in my family.

Fido (2006): Dir: Andrew Currie / Cast: Billy Connolly, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, Tim Blake Nelson, K'Sun Ray: Satire of living dead horror films that continues in the gross decaying delights of zombie fans. Zombies are now controlled thanks to an electronic collar however it is obvious that this tactic will backfire. Twisted worldview that suggests sexual relations between human and dead. Director Andrew Currie has fun with the concept of pet zombies but the strongest aspect is its simple 1950's visual style. Billy Connolly plays Fido the friendliest zombie. He is collared but will be blamed for some tragic incidents involving the recently deceased. The whole idea of Fido being a husband or caregiver is corrupt on itself. Carrie-Anne Moss and Dylan Baker are its human owners but the roles are flat. Baker has zombie phobia after being part of the zombie wars. The result of this relationship is sad and another low. Tim Blake Nelson plays a neighbor whose relationship with a female zombie leaves much to be desired. K'Sun Ray plays their son who forms a bond with the zombie and views it more as a pet. The makeup and visual elements are superb but the humour is often sickening. The theme of emotion and feeling play strong in this very strange setting where perhaps the family pet should be regenerated back to the simple dog and cat. Score: 5 ½ / 10

FidoBeing responsible for a pet zombie is a good way for a couple to know if they're ready for a baby.Unfortunately, the couple in this horror-comedy had a little boy before their flesh-eater.Despite her husband's (Dylan Baker) unease around them, Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss) brings home a domesticated zombie, Fido (Billy Connolly), whose hunger for flesh is kept in check by a remote-controlled collar.When officials quarantine Fido on account of his feasting of neighbours, young Timmy (K'Sun Ray) sets out to retrieve his putrefied playmate with the help of a previous company employee (Tim Blake Nelson).But the head of the company (Henry Czerny) has other plans for Fido's saviors.Set in an alternate 1950s, this quirky Canadian contribution to the annuals of zombie cinema injects some much needed satire and humor into the undead genre.Incidentally, letting your pet zombie lick your face is a slippery slope.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
