When a cloud of space dust causes the dead to rise as ravenous zombies, the ZomCon Corp. emerges to conquer the creatures and domesticate them to become menial workers and pets for humans. Now, in an idyllic town, a skeptical boy finds a best friend in his family's new fiend, which he promptly names Fido. But Fido's control collar malfunctions, and the neighbors wind up on the menu.

Critics Consensus

Making the most of its thin premise, Fido is an occasionally touching satire that provides big laughs and enough blood and guts to please gorehounds.

This indie exercise is so stultifying you might want to check your own pulse.

1.5/4

It's a one-gag movie that starts off clever and cute, but wears thin after half an hour, and ultimately is like an excruciating Enzyte commercial for an hour and a half.

3/4

The movie's breezy, blood-flecked entertainment, with no aim other than to give you a giggle and a shriek.

Perhaps out of desperation to make the rip off less transparent, their “Fido” is a pastiche of the zombie, child-pet camaraderie, and 1950s family sitcom subgenres.

Fido tries very hard to keep the tone light, but it doesn't succeed in meshing hilarity and horror: the more disturbing ideas it's messing about with poke through.

Pretty funny, surprisingly smart, pleasant to look at, and often quite sick.

Just fine, the kinda movie your friend Max just selects randomly from whatever streaming service is free at the time and falls asleep to.

Boss made us watch this at a staff party. Idk how he thought a group of 20 people ages 15-30 would enjoy watching this in a theatre after hours. Dullest theatre experience of my life
