Fido (2007) - 🤯📼First Time Film Club📼🤯 - First Time Watching/Movie Reaction & Review 

I was amazed to see someone reacting to this one. Such an underrated, often overlooked treasure. Billy Connoly was so much fun!

Billy Connelly is an absolute legend in the UK. One of the funniest comedians ever..

I forgot about this movie. A gem that most people never seen.

I love that Emily referred to the Laurell K Hamilton novels when talking about zombies.

I watched this originally simply because it had the Big Yin playing a zombie(I grew up in Glasgow so being a Billy Connolly fan is in my blood), i absolutely loved it and I now watch it every Halloween. Every time I watch I still find it hilarious that they turned the "Boy and his Dog" storyline around to be a Boy and his Zombie.

Was NOT expecting to see this film on here. This is literally one of those films where you are flipping through netflix on your day off, see the cover, see the title, and just immediately click play because you know its either going to be great, or gloriously terrible. literally as in, thats how i discovered it. lol was very surprised at how good it turned out to be. and absolutely agree, the setting, the comedic timing, the level of 50's cheese. highly underrated. as far as zombie comedy films, its just behind Warm Bodies as my favorite (that one being one of my favorite zombie films, period, and glad it was mentioned.)

FINALLY someone reacts to this Gem. Could Carrie Anne Moss be Any More Striking? GORGEOUS movie.

2007 was the year for the zombie comedy. There was also "Aaah! Zombies!!" which was a great zombie comedy told from the perspective of the zombies.

Billy Conneley is great in this despite not being able to show off his 2 best assets, his Scottish brogue and his long flowing locks.

Didn't expect you to get to this underrated gem!😮👍🥰 Not many people know this I think! So it's a nice surprise to see you discover this! Knew it would be right up your alley!😅 It's been a while since I watched it but I still remembered all of it! That's how good it is/how much I love it! I especially appreciate how much love for 50s cheese and the Zombie-Genre alike are noticable throughout this movie! Love that you mentioned some of that wonderful movie magic!😅 And yup, the cast is also absolutely stellar! They all fit perfectly but Billy Connolly steals the show!! Then again, he's always brilliant! Boondock Saints immediately comes to mind but also all those hilarious stand up comedy specials!! Looking forward to whatever is coming up next! Lots of Love!!💜✌️🍀

If you liked this you should definitely check out Anna & the Apocalypse! It’s a Scottish high school Christmas zombie musical and it is an annual holiday watch for me. More people need to be aware of this movie!

Makes me so happy to get more video's from you both, and now you are watching my favorite zombie movie of all time!! GREAT DAY

LOVE Fido! an all time fave that deserves more love. Billy Connoly is great (as always), and Carrie Anne Moss is everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Glad you caught up with FIDO, truly a neglected little gem of a horror/comedy. Also, not just Carrie-Ann Moss and Billy Connelly, but also Dylan Baker (Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN trilogy, ROAD TO PERDITION, PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, THIRTEEN DAYS) as the dad and Tim Blake Nelson (O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU, MINORITY REPORT, THE INCREDIBLE HULK) as the neighbor with the zombie "girlfriend". As far as recommendations, here are four more good (but relatively unknown) comedy/horror films worth checking out, especially the first two: 1.) MR. VAMPIRE (1985, Hong Kong) 2.) FRANKENHOOKER (1990) 3.) I SELL THE DEAD (2008) 4.) PARENTS (1989)

I saw this movie at the German Fantasy Film Fest on 25 July 2007.

Emily has to be the most smiley person on the internet

I haven't seen this movie in years and while I enjoyed it when I first saw it when it first came out, I can say that just from the clips shown here that I enjoyed it much more this time around. Such a clever movie with a crazy amazing performance by Mr. Connoly!

One of my favorite hidden gems. Absolutely fun.

One of my favourite indie zombie movies, right up there with Juan of the Dead and Wasting Away/AAAH! Zombies, the latter is name dependant where it was released.

the zombies in a 50's settings seems to work, in 2007 the videogame called "Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse" where you played a zombie in a 50's setting.

This movie is fantastic and the layers of references in it run very deep. You guys picked up on the general “Boy and His Dog” framing of the story and the brilliant Lassie homage with the “Is Timmy in trouble?” sequence. Besides Lassie though, another classic “Boy and Dog” story is the novel, “Where the Red Fern Grows” and I believe it’s influence can be seen in the movie as well. In that book, the main character is menaced by two bullies who are brothers. Then at the climax of the novel one of them kills the other accidentally while threatening the main character with violence that goes too far and out of control. Just like in this movie. As a lifelong comic fan another homage I noticed was at least one scene where the main character is dressed just like Dennis the Menace. While his new girl next door crush is dressed similar to Margaret Wade. Who was Dennis’ redhead rival in both the cartoon and the comic strip. There the roles where a little different with Margaret always claiming to have a crush on Dennis, but always treating him blatant disrespect. In an attempt wrap up my nerd fact rant, I will just ask anyone who is interested to google the word “Containment” in relation to US policy during the height of Cold War for a few extra laughs when the phrase is used the way it is in this movie. Love you guys, love the channel! Thank you so much for watching and reacting to this wonderful but sadly mostly unknown movie.

I have dropped comments on anybody that liked the wrap-up of Shawn of the Dead recommending this... it is the same ending, just if it happened after Night of the Living Dead. Loved seeing you two watch one of my long time, but little known favorites.

Fun story. This is one of his first films and he did a screening in Denver I went to and I have a copy of the script signed by the cast.

they originally were going to have Rodney Dangerfield play Fido, but the producers were unable to reanimate his body

This movie was filmed partially in my town and the rest in the towns over, lol was amazing to see our town park full of zombies! It was filmed in the interior of bc canada, vernon, Armstrong, enderby, Kelowna.....Love this movie, unique take on zombies films! Great to see you guys watch it! Love your content!

Great movie and another outstanding review. Relatively new to the channel,, but your reviews are a breath of fresh air! Please keep them coming!! 🤘😎🤘

I love this movie- it deserves to be better known

Another horror / comedy that I think you guys would like is "Life After Beth". Aubrey Plaza should be a national treasure.

This was filmed in the Okanagan where I grew up (Vernon and Kelowna, BC). The 50's Pleasantville aesthetic is still pretty easy to find in certain neighbourhoods.

Omgoodness, i forgot this movie existed. It’s so cute!

Please watch the STAR TREK movies. 🖖

I know its Halloween season. But when its over I would really like to see your reactions to some Classic British films that largely unknown or not really talked about in the US. As a big movie fan I have seen many American movies both big budget to no budget. But when I mention many of what we brits regard as classics, many of my US friends have never heard of them or if they have they've never really seen them.. I'm talking about films along the lines of The Carry on films, The Railway Children from 1970, The Amazing Mr Blunden from 1973, Hobson's Choice 1955, A company of wolves, The Snapper 1993, The long good Friday 1980 and Mona Lisa 1986 . I would mention The Devils 1971 but I think that is only available in a extremely edited version in the US or might be totally banned..

Fido is my all-time favorite zombie movie!

If you liked this, you should really watch "Maggie" (2015) with Arnold Schwarzenegger... It is another POST zombie apocalypse movie where society has adjusted to the ever present danger of zombies. Amazingly, it is a very good movie that almost no one has heard of... And Schwarzenegger puts in an amazing dramatic performance! And there is also "Warm Bodies" (2013) about the deeper emotional lives of zombies... It is also a lot of fun!

#title "Purveyor of popcorn, Pippin petpets, and Patreon picks"

#title Scaremore of the film gore. love this movie such a gem people missed!! Billy is amazing as Fido!

What a fun movie, definiently one to add to my watch list.

I adore this film, you should definitely watch some Billy Connolly stand up. He's absolutely hilarious.

See- C.H.U.D. 2 : Bud the Chud. This was a more cleverly scripted version of the earlier film.

I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment….

Also, if you’d like a zombie movie that’s a bit more horror with a mix of comedy thrown in, may I suggest The Return of the Living Dead… one of my favorite zombie movies of all time!!

Re: "Don't like" (repeated) Then you should definitely stay away from Rigor Amortis by Jaym Gates, which is a collection of zombie... romance short stories.

Wow, I looked for a reaction to this recently. I have owned this for about ten years, but it seems to be a sleeper.

Holy shit I forgot this movie existed

One movie they should watch is #title Throw Mama From The Train great dark comedy.

Another great post-zombie apocalypse movie is Reel Zombies

#Master of movie mayhem.

Dang, that ZomCon guy is SO familiar! I can hear his voice in another role, but I just can't place it. Sure, I could just look it up, but where's the fun in that? EDIT: Aha! He played Kitridge in Mission: Impossible!

I would love for you guys to react to Denzel Washington in America gangster ❤️❤️

I always thought Fido was John Cleese for some reason. Mind blown!

Other good horror-comedies: Shaun of the Dead Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

Did I see a "Blondie Zombie"

Tammy 💔☠️

Nice 🤓😂

This movie has such stupid looking cover art that it always made me think that the movie is totally different - don't know exactly in what way, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Watch The Sandman!

What to know about the movie? It's ruff......... Welp, I guess I'll be leaving now.
