Fido

Just when you thought there was no way to spin a fresh zombie story, along comes Fido.

Currie's slily funny satire, cowritten with Dennis Heaton and Robert Chomiak, is a one-trick pony, but it's a pretty good trick.

...content to just make you laugh instead of a providing a pointed analogue to whatever real-life horror show is taking place in the world.

...uses zombies as a springboard for a candy-colored satire of '50s suburban conformity in general, and Lassie in particular.
