What are critics saying?
New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein
It's madly funny--a treat for moviegoers who don't mind gnawed-off limbs with their high jinks.
Brightly packaged and steadily amusing.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
It's definitely the most fun you'll have with the undead this week.
Amusing without being particularly biting.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
It's just a clever, pointed little fable about the price of complacent conformity, slavish worship of the status quo, and trading freedom for the illusion of safety, wrapped in a sugary-sweet, Jordan-almond-colored coating that looks good enough to eat.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
It won't make you bleed, just howl.
Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Director Andrew Currie is better at laughs than scares, but he can’t sustain either as Fido runs out of steam in the final stretch. Till then, it’s fiendish fun.
