Zombie movies...the good...the bad...and the ugly.

I've only seen a few, but here's my low-down:

Night of the Living Dead (1990 remake) - awesome
Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake)* - best of the zombie movies I've seen
Land of the Dead - nice gore, great idea, very badly implimented
Dead Alive - great gore

I have Zombie Chronicles at home, but haven't started it yet.

*For those of you that liked this, check out an Xbox 360 game called: Dead rising.

Slither (althoughn I wouldn't class it as zombie) was fuckin brilliant
Dawn of the dead was alright
Despite what people say I really enjoy res evil (the 2nd one was rubbish tho)
and Shaun of the dead is simply genius!

I wonder if South Africa could sustain a horror movie industry.

I mean even if we pulled out all the stops and made a shit-hot low-budget bloodfest - say in the style of Shaun or Slither - would South African movie-goers go and see it?

Bearing in mind that the average SA movie costs between 1 to 2 million Rand to make and grosses around 300K. What impact on that figure could Horror movies have?
Is there enough of a DVD market?

Here's a goody - would you be more likely to watch an independent low-budget horror movie if you thought it was American or Australian?
