  The family version of Dawn of The Daed
  
  A really nice film. It is pretty much the family version of Romero's Dawn of The Dead. I really dont like Billy Connolly but he plays a loveble character ... read more »

  A beautifully crafted 50's Americana feel, and fine performances by Carrie Anne Moss and Billy Connolly aren't quite enough to vindicate this quirky ... read more »

  Love it!
  
  I love this movie! Not your typical zombie film but great none the less!

  A cute zombie movie
  
  If you like your zombies friendly and helpful (when they are not hungry), this is the movie for you. 1950's America with zombies - quite a cute film.

  Not as bad as you think...
  
  I think the trick is to not expect much from films because that seems to be when I most it. Cover looked apalling, sounded awful and it's got Billy Connolly... read more »

  Clever
  
  A very clever satire that never tries to punch above its weight. Fido never tries to be too smart a comedy, but stays within the boundaries of its comfort zone... read more »

  The concept of this movie is great and it starts quite promising but then... It doesn't really go anywhere which I was quite disappointed about.
