FIDO (2007)

[CheezeFlixz]

This is headed to the rare ranks of cult classic in the quirky film about an event that causes people to turn into zombies upon death, unless you remove the head and bury it separate from the body, provided you can afford it. So anyway the world is overrun with zombies and one company call Zomcom has developed a collar of zombies that domesticates them and allows them to perform the boring day to day chores of life. Well Mrs Robinson doesn't have a zombie and she wants one as everyone else on the block has one, set in cliche stylized 1950's subdivision Mrs Robinson (Carrie-Anne Moss) is smokin' hot. Well she goes and gets one, however Mr Robinson who doesn't like zombies is none to impressed but who can refuse Carrie-Anne Moss in a little red dress holding a 3 olive martini? The zombies stays, but at night only out back on a chain like a dog. The family grows fond, well mom and little Timmy do, of the zombie played by Billy Connoley and the Robinsons son decides to name him 'Fido'. Well as fate would have it the collar malfunctions and Fido eats the nasty neighbor Mrs Henderson. Well Timmy to the rescue and the cover up begins. Will Fido get away? Will he escape the zombie hunters? Will they live happily ever after? You'll just have to watch this campy, quirky film to find out this and oh so much more! A great film for those that like cult films and twisted zombie flicks. There is no nudity of foul language I recall, just zombie violence and little suggested zombie love from the neighbor Mr. Theopolis with his zombie Tammy. Highly recommend as a fun zombie flick.

I saw this in theaters when it was out on a limited release. Love the overall 50s theme.  Mr. Theopolis was the best with that cliched 50s "bachelor" look. Mr. Robinson obsession with not coming back as a zombie made him funny and just sad like when his wife tells him their having a kid he already planning for its burial.

Recall Mrs Robinson got annoyed with Mr Robinson and said to he "Well we're coming back as zombies, right Timmy?" ... "Right Mom!"

Yeah the guy that played Mr. Theopolis (Tim Blake Nelson) played the simple minded Delmar in "Oh, Brother were art thou?" He was just as funny in Fido as he was in Oh, Brother.

The move has some great lines in it ...

Bill Robinson: I'd say I'm a pretty darn good father. My father tried to eat me. I don't remember trying to eat Timmy.
Helen Robinson: Bill, just because your father tried to eat you does that mean we all have to be unhappy?
