Saturday night, in desperate need of a break from the final project that is harassing him, as well as the allergies that are, frankly, kicking his butt, Tim thought some R&R was in order. And it was this that led us to watch Fido. I have to admit right now I only agreed to it because I was trying to humor the sickie - but sometimes humoring the sickie is a good thing. This is one of those times.
Fido is quite possibly the most amusing movie I've seen in a long time. It is an unashamedly B movie - as all good zombie movies are - and yet it's studded with a cast of well knowns who you wouldn't necessarily see as comedic actors if you stopped to think about it.
I'm not sure that you can really recap a movie like Fido - it's simply a wonderful bout of zombie kitsch that shouldn't be missed out on by anyone. There are already several lines that have worked their way into our dictionary of quotations, and I suspect more will come with repeated viewing (because, oh yes, there will be repeated viewing).
Six head coffins out of Five. Yeah, it's that good.

As good as Shawn of the Dead?
ReplyDeleteNow Shawn of the Dead was definitely a campy movie. :) I loved the record-throwing scene. Just too, too funny.
ReplyDeleteR and R is all good! I did that on Friday night too.
ReplyDeleteYes - oh yes - it was a horror hootenanny!
