Review of Fido

Fido (2006)
7/10
Quite Exceptional
18 July 2012
Timmy Robinson's best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido.

This film combines 1950s propaganda, zombies, the humor of "Shaun of the Dead" and a unique story to create a world that is both funny and fascinating. I did not have high expectations for the movie with its silly title and cover art, but it really grabbed hold of me and impressed me with its depth and character.

Is this a buddy film? A story of family values? A comedy? An allegory on class? It could be any number of those things. Heck, if there is a message to this film, it is one that is well-hidden yet decipherable, and different depending on what angle you choose to view it from. You get out of this movie what you bring to it.
