Fido (2006, Canadian)

Fido has a fun premise that unfortunately stretches on too long. In an otherwise idyllic 1950’s world, space radiation has created zombies, and after a war with humans, technology has allowed for the zombies to be tamed and put to work as servants and manual laborers. Fido (Billy Connolly) is a bit brighter than many of the other zombies, befriending his owners – Timmy (K’Sun Ray) and his mother (Carrie-Anne Moss). But aside from the premise and the film’s stylish look, there’s very little originality here, and after a while it’s simply not terribly entertaining to watch the same joke repeat itself.
