Can you give a bit more info.. do you have a synopsis or a log line?

You can play on the existing greats, like "Shawn Of The Dead' , which if you didnt notice was almost "Dawn Of The Dead" which also explains why an UK filmmaker would go with the Americanized spelling of "Shawn" rather than the UK variant of "Sean" :) Which is also a good example of considering your audience when coming up with a title. Obviously, the guy who made "Shawn Of The Dead" was going for US distribution.. hence the US variant.. (and then again, I just made that whole bit up, maybe Shawn is the PREFERRED spelling in the UK, what do I know?)

How about "The Zombie Film that is going to make you laugh, cry and vomit."

Or "Gone with the eyeballs rolling out of their heads."

Or "Chombie"

Any of those do anything for you?

actually its shaun =p

anyway, synopsis:

One week after Swine Flu infected the Gothernburg Cloning Facility, millions of Zombie Clones invaded Europe. The military is doing everything to stop them, but only a few 1000 humans managed to survive.
The world is ending. The film focus on 2 characters who at first don't even know that it's the end of the world and millions of zombie clones is out there killing people, so they carry on with their nerdy life. Suddenly, while playing Call of Duty, the power goes out and they start to panic. After a varity of scenes they finally realize whats going on. and so they decide to collect weapons and barricade themselves inside. They never however take the situation seriously... they argue about random stuff and eat unhealthy food while killing zombies.

The film is serious but the characters arn't. It's like 28 weeks later and Snatch put togehter.

Easter Special = LOL

Okay I don't know the script but here are some ideas (without Z)

Double Tap

Bullet to the Brain

Eating Brains for Dummies

When all else fails

Till Death do us Part - with the tag line "The only thing between me and my girl is an undead hoard."

Me, you and the Undead or You, me and the Undead (for the grammar Nazies)

It called out for Brains: and we didn't have any left.

Surrounded by Hell

How about "Vaccine" Kinda a play off the movie "Quarrentine" But it could work. I figure sometimes you don't have to name a zombie movie with zombie in the title. Vaccine implies that there is some kind of break out. You could also go with
"Swine Screwed" That implies it is a comedy and about the swine flu. But it could also imply beastiality....so be careful when advertising with that one.

Titles are all about trying to explain what it is about. Or you could go the Bob Dylan route (I know he's a song writer) And name it something that has nothing to do with the content like

"Hot Dog Party" Or something like that.

Hope i helped at least a lil bit.
