Review - Fido

Leave it to Beaver meets Night of the Living Dead in this post-zombie-apocalypse set in the 1950s. In the peaceful green land of small town America everyone who’s anyone has a domesticated zombie. They’re great for all your household chores et cetera as long as nothing interferes with the collars that keep them docile. Needless to say, an accident shuts off the collar of a boy’s pet reanimated corpse (the title character, played by Billy Connolly) and things go downhill from there. The production is mostly concept and ham-handed allegory, though it’s somewhat entertaining to watch Connolly convey zombified emotion from behind a mountain of makeup. Mildly amusing
