Yeah, brother. Liked this one a lot - not as funny as Shaun but still really well done. Some good black humor, twisted stuff, and a nice retro feel with cool zombie sequences as well. Highly recommended for the permanent collection.

I actually liked it a little more than Shaun. Fido is a really well done zombie film that has that golden era Americana feel to it. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it or buy it at once.

Yeah, Fido is great. It's like Pleasantville mixed with Zombies. Good stuff.

for some reason i love all that cheesy pleasantville americana, and as stubbs the zombie showed, adding undead doubles the awesomeness.

and as my title suggests, i know a thing or two about awesome. :lol:

Stubbs was a great game. I liked the mind controling hand.

I like Shaun more, but I was surprised at how good this movie was....I think it is one you should own.

I enjoyed the film... Not as good as Shaun (for me), but definately worth a watch!

I think it was more clever than Shaun. Honestly, I consider Fido to be a flawless film.

Fido was a great, fresh new take on the zombie film. There was one, small, detail that bothered me. They make it clear that the only way to kill a zombie is a head shot ("In the brain and not the chest. Head shots are the very best.) Funerals (for those who can afford them) take place with the head in a seperate casket than the body ("from dust shall you not be resurrected"). Unless they destroyed the brain the head would still come back, but if they destroyed the brain there's be no point beheading the corpse. The heads still come back, but are trapped in a small box until the brain rots away.

Yeah, I found that a bit odd as well.

fido is defo worth a look. then again anything with carrie ann moss in it is worth a look.

someone in this thread described it as pleasantville with zombies, i think that is an almost perfect description of it.
