Review:


Just when you thought there was no way to spin a fresh zombie
story, along comes Fido. Set in a Canadian suburb during
the 1950s, the movie boasts a delicious premise: What if humans
were the victors in a zombie war, and now the living dead ? fit
with dog collars to zap their cannibal instincts ? were turned into
domestic slaves? Hey, zombie, mow that lawn. Housewife Helen,
played with inspired silliness by Matrix diva Carrie-Anne
Moss, persuades her wimp hubby (Dylan Baker) to get the family its
own rotting corpse. Lonely son Timmy (K?Sun Ray) calls his new pal
Fido. As played by Scottish comic Billy Connolly, Fido is a good
doggie until he gets his collar off. Then, oh boy! Director Andrew
Currie is better at laughs than scares, but he can?t sustain either
as Fido runs out of steam in...
