Cost-effectiveness leads to an overwhelming (though, ultimately underwhelming) amount of movies that inexplicably find their way to DVD. Of late, European filmmakers have been consistently taking more original stabs at the genre (not to cross metaphors) with movies like "Colin," the "REC" movies (yes, a "virus" movie, but still), "Dead Snow," and "The Dead" to name a few. But for every success, there are many imitators, and its because of the influx of poorly made, half-written zombie movies that there is always a cry for more "original" zombie films, while vampire films can continue to be more prolific and unoriginal (with the exception of "Stakeland").

Myself, all I want is a well-made zombie film, something that took someone more than a few days to come up with. The script for "Warm Bodies" is pretty good and the Straczynski script for "World War Z" was really great, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them both as well as "Maggie." Otherwise, there are some great American indie zombie movies out there: "Deadheads," "The Revenant" and "I Sell the Dead," but only the latter of which is available on Netflix, while "Deadheads" is on Amazon.
