I rather liked Connolly in one of my favorite Creighton books turned to movies, Timeline. As usual, the book was better but the film was under rated. I am really not a Zombie movie fan but does this one have any thing other than the standard grotesque zombie hordes chasing, slaughtering and being slaughtered by the hero? Is Fido the movie name?I realise I'm way out on a limb with this one since the War providing context for Fido is (as yet) fictitious -The Zombie War,this film starring Billy Connolly (brilliant imo) is one of the funniest and unexpectedly heartwarming films of late and my No. 1 Zombie flick to date.
Yes,Spitfrnd Connolly is amazing in this-especially considering he has (as a zombie) no lines aside from a surprisingly articulate array of growls.The setting is post-war,the slaughter minimal -even within the stabilised safe zones people occasionaly die and failing appropriate funeral arrangements,become zombies.The tone is '50s golden era-with people maintaining zombies as servants,pets etc..Fido is the name ,comedy & social satire the game.This is NOT a low-budget B Movie.o.
