Fido (2006) 8/10

Starring : Billy Connolly, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, K’Sun Ray
Director : Andrew Currie
Running Time : 92 mins

Following the arrival of strange radiation from space the dead are brought back to life, but following the ensuing Zombie War it is discovered that zombies can be controlled with special collars and used to help society by providing cheap labour. However, the new pet zombie of the Robinson family, oddly named Fido (Connolly), accidentally kills one of their neighbours when his collar malfunctions and he starts a chain reaction that could mean the uncontrolled zombies could be on the rise again.

Taking the concepts from such movies as Night Of The Living Dead and Plan 9 From Outer Space, this comedy takes the next step and shows us a world where humans co-exist with zombie slaves. The humour is jet black, and there are a number of grisly deaths, but if you do like your humour dark then you'll definitely find this to your liking.
