Well you need an idea, script etc and then you have to work our effects, cast, crew, loaction, equipment just to name a few things. I would search through the many topics/posts on this forum and learn from the discussions. The question is way to broad to answer

If they want to make a zombie film let them make a zombie film. Its a lot of fun, not all of us have decided to have a super serious streak in our work from our insertion as movie makers like you Gyro, so lay off the kid.

I started out doing horror films with my friends - no actually they wanted to make a zombie movie and they coerced me into filming/editing it. As a matter of fact they want to do another this summer. What I love about this type of film is how its not really hard to write up a script. You get plenty of good experience making it, and you learn lots of tricks and techniques. Zombie movies are low budget, and a great thing to do. And if you ever want to move to more serious films, then you'll have good experience as well to take with you.
