Review of Fido (2006) by Lindsay W — 29 Jul 2009
5 out of 5. No question. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. 3 parts black comedy and 7 parts social commentary. Surprisingly poignant in places. Dare I say it? This movie does the "Who's really the zombie?" question [i]better[/i] that the Romero movies via examination of conformity and social norms.
It also deals well with the in-your-face nature of death in the zombie world. And technically, it's gorgeously directed. The color work really invokes the setting (it's set in the 1950s. The camera is always in the right place without all the seasick panning and tracking that pervades movies these days.
Music cues were well placed without being overwhelming. Makeup was just enough. It was also nice to see Carrie Anne Moss in something other than the Matrix movies.
