Remy – Fido
Another zom-com makes my list. Why? Because this formula works REALLY well with zombie films. The very concept of a zombie is kind of funny (former human turned monster who eats humans without remorse), and Fido knew that and ran with it. Fido also got one other thing JUST RIGHT by taking place in the fifties, when all the world had those weird Happy Days morals and everything seemed so squeaky clean, but obviously wasn’t. Fido, as the name implies, is the movie about young boy and his pet zombie, and the casting of Billy Connolly as the titular zombie in this film is just why the movie works. Is it stupid? Yes, but in the best possible way. When zombie films take themselves too seriously (here’s looking at you, World War Z), they fail, and Fido goes in the opposite direction of that, which is just why it works. Plus, what a wonderfully original take on the genre – bravo!
