Fido

Being responsible for a pet zombie is a good way for a couple to know if they're ready for a baby.

Unfortunately, the couple in this horror-comedy had a little boy before their flesh-eater.

Despite her husband's (Dylan Baker) unease around them, Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss) brings home a domesticated zombie, Fido (Billy Connolly), whose hunger for flesh is kept in check by a remote-controlled collar.

When officials quarantine Fido on account of his feasting of neighbours, young Timmy (K'Sun Ray) sets out to retrieve his putrefied playmate with the help of a previous company employee (Tim Blake Nelson).

But the head of the company (Henry Czerny) has other plans for Fido's saviors.

Set in an alternate 1950s, this quirky Canadian contribution to the annuals of zombie cinema injects some much needed satire and humor into the undead genre.

Incidentally, letting your pet zombie lick your face is a slippery slope.
