Is there such a thing as zombie fatigue? The past few years have been boom times for the living dead. Zombies became savage sprinters in "28 Days Later" and the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead." Zombies remembered they were funny in "Shaun of the Dead"; this year saw the return of zombie king George Romero and his "Land of the Dead." That's a lot of zombies, and we may be getting a little tired of their rotting flesh. The limitations of the genre, not to mention the limitations of first-time feature filmmakers Peter and Michael Spierig, are thrown into sharp relief in the exceptionally lousy "Undead."
