Many of my friends are obsessed with zombie movies. I've gotten swept up in the fun and the fear, but there's usually something that keeps me from turning completely.
What would happen in your perfect zombie movie? Other horrors, monsters or spirits besides zombies? What kind of build-up and how close are the encounters? Explanation for zombies? Lots of shooting and chopping or mostly running?
I dislike zombie movies that become disaster movies. An explanation is needed for my satisfaction.
So I'd love to have a zombie movie take place in a fictional world where restrictions on nuclear/biological/chemical weapons don't exist, and the protagonist has to escape an active warzone where someone deploys a zombie agent.
This sort of attack would have occurred elsewhere already, to avoid the "omg what in the world is happening?" portion where the characters make stupid decisions out of ignorance.
After the initial helpless phase, there'd be a gratification phase in the middle, once the protagonist gets his hands on some hardware and blows zombies away like paper tigers, and then a badass/gratification phase when the invaders throw their own soldiers into the mix. Zombies, defenders and invaders all fighting one another, the protagonist venting all the anger built up against the invaders, assaulting and luring them towards their own creations. (Sweet.) Then a final helpless phase would end the movie.

My perfect zombie movie? A faithful movie version of Resident Evil 1 & 2. No wire fu fighting, no over the top settings i.e post apocalyptic like in the latest RE movie, and George Romero must direct.

Guys, they are. Wikipedia says!
I read over the book's synopsis and indeed, it sounds pretty sweet.

The ideal zombie movie would be a SciFi Channel original movie and use excessive amounts of low budget CGI.

Hey Wazpy long time now see. Speaking of SciFi Originals, they've been showing a movie marathon of various low budget movies. Griffin or something to that effect so far has the title as worst CGI ever. Nothing says awesome like a low resolution blurry CG monster. |

I've seen almost every SciFi original movie that's worth a damn (I skip the disaster ones). There are a lot of candidates for worst CGI, but the worst movie I've ever seen on there had no CGI. Look up Skeleton man. I cried laughing three times.

In this scenario, Bruce Campbell must be the action hero. If not, a cameo must be utilized. |

It wasn't even a skeleton mask. It was just face paint. You can see the guy's nose is painted black when he turns to the side. Man... that movie is a legend. Here's a trailer for those of you who never saw it. But it's in German for some reason... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfQF_4qtptI |

Of course it's in German. That makes it about 1000x more awesome.
