Ever wonder what it would be like to have a pet Zombie? I know I have. That’s why I killed my dog when I was 12 years old with my bare hands, but now I’m back on the outside! Through hours of work with Dr. Crowley, I now know that it’s wrong to try to turn pets (and even people) into Zombies. However, after seeing the trailer for the FIDO MOVIE on DVD, where a young boy has his very own pet zombie named Fido, all my zombie-induced desires came rushing back to me.
Following in the line of Shawn of the Dead and The Scary Movie series comes another horror-omedy (horror + comedy - letter ‘c’ = all new genre). This movie has it all: Zombies, Zombie slaves, Zombie pets, Zombie dancers (I’m assuming), and takes place in the untapped comedy setting of the suburbs. Unfortunately, the main character zombie gets loose and eats the brain of an old neighbor. Normally, a zombie would be killed for such bad behavior as eating a grandma brain (not as tasty as you would think). The boy in the movie just wants to keep his pet zombie - in fact - he’s the only one in all of Zombietown that even gave his zombie a name.
If you’re one of those guys who refuses to watch scary movies with a date for fear of screaming in front of her, then this is the perfect Halloween movie. Check out the trailer above for more info. Did I mention there are zombies?
