Shaun of the Dead -- is that recent enough?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are vampires life challenged? You have Blade 3 and Underworld most recently--but how recent is recent?

Definitely!
I'm willing to go back 8-10 years if necessary. I'm going to be on a panel called Good Dead Vs. Evil Dead which will talk about Recent Advances in Zombies, or well, how films like Sixth Sense and shows like Angel and Now & Again and Dead Like Me are treating the life-challenged these days....

Theo, if you haven't seen it, you MUST rent Idle Hands. It looks like an unfuckingbelievably stupid movie, and in some ways it is, but zombie stoners are the main characters, and it's actually REALLY funny. Plus -- Seth Green!

Let's see what I can pull off the top of my head, then.
28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural, --wasn't there a recent Evil Dead remake or something?
My god, I'm old. I want to cite things that are on or past the bubble - G vs E, Kindred: The Embraced, never mind Due South. Return Of The King had undead in it, Bloodrayne is just out...
That's all I got for now.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Corpse Bride!

What about The Others? It's a ghost story for sure, but told from the perspective of ghosts who believe they're being haunted because, you know, they don't know they're dead. Excellent ghost story.
Shit. I'm not really here. But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!

There seems to be a site of undead movies -- I can't get to it from work.
Also, Dr. Who 2005 had an episode that falls into your category.

Van Helsing. Also Pirates of the Caribbean -- I would think the cursed pirates would qualify as "life-challenged", though they're not exactly undead.

in this you are very much the anti-me because zombies creep me the fuck out.
