Well, for his media project my mate made a short film called 'The Puppet Master'
A bunch of guys are out in the woods and one of them is killed then taken over by the puppet master. He then goes on to try and kill the other two. He gets one, then gets his arse kicked by the other guy. The other guy then gets taken over by the puppet master and slits his own throat. It was a sound concept and the film making part was awesome. The acting sucked though.
Of course, as all of that is completely irrelevant, go with a zombie movie. They look quite fun to make.
