This is a little kiche movie set in the late 50's after a zombie outbreak. Eventually, the zombies are contained and become controled servants with collars around their necks. A a suburban family finally recieves their first zombie servant, and the son quickly becomes friends with it. Then it becomes a little odd and maybe creepy. Fido, our zombie hero played by Billy Connolly of all people, is showing slight signs of compassion by not eating the son. On top of that, he's starting to show compassion towards his mother, a very disappointed housewife played by Carrie Anne Moss. At first, I thought her character was so Stepford-esq, she was unwatchable. She does move past this later in the movie, but she's still stiff as hell. While not an overly complicated plot, I don't' have the energy (jet lag, maybe) to go into detail. It's really just a mediocre movie with some funny points, but I felt like they wasted Billy Connolly who tends to be a more of a vocal comedian. It wasn't a hard to watch movie, but it wasn't amazing. Best left for a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Aw, you beat me to Fido, too. I like how he has the big "Z" patch on his shirt, as if you couldn't tell he was a zombie from...everything else.
