Fido is a charming addition to the ever increasing number of ways to put zombies on celluloid. While the phrase RomZomCom immediately comes to mind, here Canadian director Andrew Currie has made the first Douglas Sirk inspired zombie film. Not only does the film exude the faux-technicolor look from Todd Haynes “Far From Heaven” but also features a no-touch romance between a suburban housewife (Carrie-Anne Moss doing Jane Wyman as good as Jullianne Moore) and a hired gardener (Billy Connolly). The gardener in question here however just happens to be an undead “pet” purchased for the family from Zomcon, the gigantic corporation who domesticates zombies after the space dust starting the dead rising back from the grave. The great Zombie War of the 1940s was won and safe-zones, fenced in communities were established while the wild zombies roam free in the wilderness. Fido takes place in the in the 1950s which are, er, well, a gleefully subverted notion of that decades stereotypes: children are trained how to deliver head shots to their pets if their controlling collars (a Zomcon invention) get out of control.
