"Play Dead, Fido! Oh Wait... You are dead..."

I've seen my share of horror films and among them my favorite sub-genre would have to be that of the zombies! Among these films there is another sub-genre I love even more than just zombies. This takes my two all-time favorites and places them side by side in what me and my brother like to call a "Zombedy" Otherwise known as the zombie comedy. I'm only speaking on one of these films today the rest we will save for later.

Fido, A simple name for a simple movie. Yet this movie has broken as much ground as even George A. Romero had in his film. Taking what we know of zombie movies and twisting it and distorting not only how we see zombies but even going back in time to show us a different history.

This gives us an alternate look into the 1950's, they consider it an alternate universe. In which radiation from space has contaminated the earth and causes the dead and those who die post contamination are turned into zombies. This was an odd turn of events in my mind I would have assumed it would be a different take on the second world war. This radiation sparked the creation of a company called Zomcon. This company invents a collar with a remote that controls the zombies actions causing them to become more like pets or servants than actual zombies.

This is a short background into the movie, to learn the plot of the movie just go watch it for yourself. I hope this compels you to check out this "Zombedy" if you haven't already.
