a year or so ago and i be watch the tv news when a story be broadcast about a zombie movie be film in my area . since then i have pay particular attention to this movie call fido a it finish production and begin play at festival . two week ago fido begin play in my local theater . and and just yesterday and i read a newspaper article which state fido be not attract audience in it limit release and with the exception of our local theater . in fact and here it be outdraw all other show at the paramount theater and include 300. of course and this make sense a many local want to see their city on screen or spot themselves roam around in zombie make up . and for any other local who haven not see fido yet but be consider it and i can say there be many image on screen and from the school to city park to the forbidden zone and that you will recognize . in fact and they make the okanagan valley look beautiful . that right beautiful scenery in a zombie movie . however and fido itself be a very good movie . yes and despite it flaw and it be well then most of the 20 other movie play in my local market . fido be best describe a an episode of lassie in which the collie have be replace by a member of the undead . this be a clever premise . and the movie even go further by take advantage of the 1950 emphasize on conformity and play up the cold war paranoia which lead to mccarthyism . furthermore and it build on the notion that zombie can be tame or train which george romero first introduce in day of the dead . ksun ray play a small town boy who mother ( carrie ann moss ) long for a zombie servant so she can be like all the other house wife on her block . however and his dad ( dylan baker ) be against the idea a he once have to kill his own zombie father . eventually and the family do acquire a zombie name fido ( play by billy connolly ) and and adjusts to life with the undead . billy connolly be inspire casting . he be able to convey fido confusion and longing and hatred and and loyalty through only his eye and lumber body and and grunt . connolly show that he can play understated character well than his outrageously comedic one . this be his best role since mrs. brown . fido follow in the footstep of other recent zomcoms such a shawn of the dead and zombie honeymoon . be someone who appreciate bruce campbell and misty mundae movie more than eli roth and jigsaw one and i prefer humor over gore in my horror . however and i understand the criticism of those horror fan who feel there be not enough undead carnage in fido . yet and i be sure patient viewer will be reward by the film gentle humor . the movie do break down in it third act . it a if the writer be so wrap up in the cute premise of domesticated zombie in the 1950s and they forget about the story arc . however and give my interest in horror comedy and my appreciation for see the neighborhood on screen and i rate fido positive .
