Colin, the supposedly £45 movie, was bad enough, here's another that looks pretty atrocious but illustrates that not everything that makes it market is slick and professional; bedroom producers are springing up and able to market and distribute their micro-budget efforts where years ago they would have gotten no further than family/friends passing round a VHS tape: Harold's Going Stiff (not in the least recommended!). The other intriguing aspect of this lamely-punning film is how it plays with representations of age, as it seems to feature a romance between the titular aged zombie and a 20-something woman (reflected in that schoolboy double entendre title).
You can get a sense of the underground boom in zombie production at http://zombiemovieguide.com/category/movies-trailers/page/3/
As with zero-/micro-budget productions within other sub-genres of horror, some of these are plainly and crudely using sex to sell.
