Review: Fido
Monday, August 25th, 2008
I’m not kidding when I say this has become my favorite zombie comedy. I enjoyed this more that Shaun of the Dead even! It is beautiful film, visually and mentally! I enjoyed every moment of this movie!
Maybe I just enjoyed this movie so much because have a love for zombies. If you are a fan of zombies and horror genres, this is a must! As long as you like a little comedy too! Even if you are not a fan of zombie movies, I believe you could still find this movie quite enjoyable.
The film takes place in a fictional alternate universe where radiation from space has turned the dead into zombies. Radiation, which still lingers in the atmosphere, still plagues humanity as all those who die after the orginal contamination turn into the undead. In order to continue living normal lives without the threat of zombies, humanity encloses itself in fenced cities with the help of a governing corporation named Zomcom. Humans eventually domesticate zombies using collars that control their hunger for flesh and use them as slaves. One day, housewife Helen Robinson buys a zombie in spite of her husband Bill’s fear. Their son, Timmy, befriends the zombie, naming him “Fido”. One day, Fido’s collar malfunctions and he eats their next door neighbor….

I when my mother asked me to watch this movie I almost said no. I had never even heard of this movie before. She had me watch the previews, which made it sound like a silly comedy movie. Don’t let the previews fool you, because this movie is more of a drama than a comedy if you ask me. Sure, it has it’s comical parts. The plotline is even comical. A man falls in love with a sex doll, which he believes is real. But the movie has a lot of seriousness to it.
My first thought of The Dark Knight was that it was just going to be overrated, but when I saw it I changed my mind. The only real flaw when I went to see this movie was the theater I went to, because the film messed up in the middle of it. The movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! This movie was nothing less than what you would expect. Every moment will have your attention. I even had to use the restroom since the beginning of the movie, but I held it in the whole time just because I didn’t want to miss a thing. It easily deserves a 5 out of 5.
Hancock was slightly disappointing. Will Smith has played in some great movies, like Independence Day and I Am Legend. Hancock is definitely not one of the best of them. I’m not going to say it was a terrible movie. I was entertained and it did have it’s funny parts. The idea for the movie was pretty neat! But the whole movie just lacked something. I felt like I was waiting for something the whole movie, but it never happened.
