31 days of Horror Movie 01

Fido
2006
Lionsgate DVD

First heard about this film in 2007. But didn't find a copy for rent until 2008. Set in what appears to be the 50s or 60s, it is a world where zombies are all over. But a company has built huge fences to keep the zombies out. Plus they have invented collars that when placed on a zombie prevent it from attacking anyone. So lots of people have zombies as butlers,maids,etc.

A young boy ends up finding a zombie in the park and gets a collar for him. He names to zombie Fido and they become best friends. The mom has always wanted a zombie. But the father has never wanted one.

What we get is a fun zombie comedy. Billy Connelly stars as Fido. And is great. He never speaks but shows so much emotion with his facials and body language. Carrie Anne Moss is the mom. And she is much better in this than she was in those horrible Matrix films.

Fido gets a B.
