Fido
In a cheerfully retro-dystopian 1950s America where zombies are commonplace and legally restricted to domestic service via implanted collars, a young boy’s unwavering affection for his family’s zombie companion sparks rebellion against societal control. “Fido” isn’t a typical horror-comedy; it’s a darkly whimsical satire exploring themes of conformity, family, and the anxieties of the nuclear age disguised as a heartwarming “boy and his dog” story. The film distinguishes itself through its pastel-colored suburban setting juxtaposed with gruesome zombie attacks, creating a uniquely unsettling yet campy atmosphere, and contrasts the boy's innocent embrace of the 'other' with the escalating paranoia and violence of a society trying to suppress its own monstrous urges. It’s a surprisingly tender exploration of the lengths one will go to for companionship, even if that companion requires regular brain-meal supplements.
