Fido (2006)
Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50s,
where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbor, and
rotting zombies deliver the mail. Years ago, the earth passed through
a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for
human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the
ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated
the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them
our industrial workers, our domestic servants--a productive part of
society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have
everything under control--but do they? Timmy Robinson doesn't think
so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney--Mom
and Dad just won't admit it. Now ZomCon's head of security has
moved in across the street, and Timmy's Mom refuses to be the only
housewife on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When
she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best
friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of
zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat
the odd person. Sometimes, it takes a dead man to teach us all what it
means to be alive.
