Fido

Fido (Andrew Currie, 2007) - A-

Words can't express how grateful I am for this top-notch, hilarious satire right about now. A killer premise (humans won the zombie war and enslaved the zombies, who are now upscale commodities used mostly for house chores), an affinity for delightful non-sequiturs ("My nose was bleeding." "How did it get on your zombie?" "I wiped it there."), and a diabolical skewering of consumerism and corporate hegemony (only a licensed, expensive ZombieCon funeral can keep your corpse from coming back to life) combine to make what might be the best film of the summer. It could have rested on the laurels of its gimmick, but it goes all out instead, and doesn't skimp on the gore either. Like most great things, it's Canadian, and has Dylan Baker in it. I don't think it's doing too well, so run, don't walk, etc.
