    I watched it about a month ago and thought it was actually mediocre. I think I gave it a 5 or 6 out of 10 on my rating.

    I watched it and actually liked this one. Had some decent ghoul moments, though the throwback 1950's kitsch style was a little annoying and overdone. Still, I would own it if it sells for under 10 anytime in the near future.

    Fido - Excellent Zombie film!

    I agree, I thought it was easily the best Z film since Shaun of the Dead and yes that ranks it above Land of the Dead! The story, acting and cinematography were outstanding.

    I loved it, I could actually watch this one with my 8yo daughter. (I know I know, I'm a bad dad. Incidentally, she Loves Shaun of the Dead too) One of my favorite zombie movies in a while.

    I caught this gem last weekend ...

    I thought it was funny and a good addition to the Zombie movie collection.

    I caught it after listening to Billy Connolly talk about it on the Opie & Anthony show.

    I was actually surprised that they had the quality actors in it that they did.

    I thought this was more of a C grade movie ... instead of a really good B grade movie. (as intended).

    See it when you feel like laughing.

    I liked Fido, it's sort of a continuation to Shaun of the Dead. It even reminds me Day of the Dead first draft script a little...

    8/10

    Fido- anyone seen this?

    i just acquired this but haven't watched it yet. it has carrie-ann moss and billy connolly in it. it won 11 awards in canada and was nominated for 7 others. i was surprised as hell that i hadn't heard about it before.

    plot summary(jacked from imdb): Timmy Robinson's best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido. But when FIDO eats the next-door neighbor, Mom and Dad hit the roof, and Timmy has to go to the ends of the earth to keep Fido a part of the family

    I hated it. Sorry. Good idea poorly executed.

    I am with kidgloves on this, the film had so much potential but it was wasted.
