    It seems these everywhere you look, freelance filmmakers make nothing but zombie flicks in this country. Not only are they making them, but most of them are bad, because what else can you expect when the genre has been done to death time and time again. So why? Why the insistence guys? I'd love to go to a local film festival this year and actually see some stuff that involves proper script writing like developing characters and expanding stories, not what weapon are we gonna use on the next braindead moron. Anybody else feeling this way?

    It's just the 'flavour of the month' at the moment. it will pass

    Every year, there is some genre that dominates the film industry

    It's because of Boy Eats Girl being so bad that everyone thinks they can do better?

    Cause it's cheap, fun and an excuse to walk around like an r-tard. Plus everyone has their own take on how to survive a zom-pocalypse.

    I think the zombie film is something every young filmmaker should get out of their system.

    There's a zombie wrestling short being shot in Dublin soon. May be an interesting twist on an old theme.
