Fido
“Good dead are hard to find”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 56, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A boy's best friend is the family's domesticated zombie, which makes neighbour relations more complicated than usual. This deliberate suburban satire wraps cannibalism in polished fifties manners. It is gentler and less savage than its premise suggests, with handsome design doing much of the comic work.
