i watch fido on some movie channel and i have to say that i have become an instant fan . the film feel like a comic book that perfectly capture the look and feel of the surreal 1950s and you know the wholesome decade when they dance to elvis while drop nuclear bomb in the desert just for the heck of it . people be so naive back then that it frighten and the idea that those clean cut folk would find it normal to have zombie a pet actually work here . kudos to this canadian production and the colorful crisp cinematography and the excellent cast and include carrie anne moss and billy connolly and henry czerny and the kid . it a shame this film wasn not a big hit . it deserve more recognition . it much well than the stuff from tim burton or the shaun of the dead team . oh well . it an instant classic nonetheless .
