Review of Fido (2006) by Edgar C — 14 Sep 2011

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 it's a totally different take on the genre itself. The story is set in the 1950's and zombies are domesticated to do chores. The idea behind Fido is wonderful, and the most die-hard zombie fan will surely be pleased at this refreshing new and funny take on zombie films.

The actors are terrific in the parts they play and they all deliver on-screen. Dylan Baker gives the best performance here along with the actor who plays the title role of Fido. The film has a good dose of zombie comedy going on, and it blends very well with horror elements, not so much as not to scare the horror novice, which is a good thing.

Fido is a very good, entertaining film that will most likely be seen as a classic film of the comedy horror genre. Everything about this film is well done, and as a die-hard fan of the genre, I thought that this film was a lot of fun.

Fido belongs among the best films of the zombie genre and is one of the best zomedies of the last ten years. As far as horror comedies go, Fido definitely delivers the goods. The film will appeal to every fan of either genre.
