Cashing in on the success of a sub-genre is what Horror movies is all about. How many slasher movies were made after the success of halloween and friday the 13th? How many shaky cam flicks were made after Blair Witch? How many Japanese remakes did we have to endure after The Ring?
The reality is, movie studios make films to make money. It's not about story telling, creating art, or any of that sentimental shit. It's all about cash. The zombie craze is good for the genre, because it proves to studios that Horror movies can make money, and are more willing to put up money to finance other horror movies.
One more thing, if you look at all of the zombie movies made before the recent craze, what percentage of them would you consider good? The zombie sub-genre was always shitty movies with some really amazing gems thrown in the mix.
