Recent zombie movies... ehhhh

I’m really tired of some of the releases in the zombie genera since the beginning of the twenty first century. Wait here me out, I said some not all. Movies such as Zombie land, 28 days later, Shawn of the dead as well as the resident evil, Dead Rising, and dead space game series are good. They have great characters that most of the audience can relate with, good settings, good plot and sense of direction, breaking some zombie clichés such as a member of the team or group of people in the story has to get bitten, by a zombie of course, turns, then is either shot or causes the death of another character. Zombie land is a good example of this by not killing or biting any of the main four characters of the movie, allowing them to live at the end.   However many of the ones released to day seem do only be ripping of movies that have come before it. Rec and Rec 2 for example while they are both good movies about  people trapped in building with people possessed by demons, as was reveled in rec2 inserted of zombies, which also act and infect almost the same way. Was first used almost exactly in demons and demons 2 where in the second one people were trapped in a large apartment complex and the tenants became possessed with a demonic entity.  Or the miniseries dead set which took place in Britain on the set of big brother and clearly ripped of zombies in the night and dawn of the dead movies as well as the sprinting rage infected zombies of 28 days and weeks later.  I just don’t understand why they couldn’t easily be original. It wouldn’t hurt having a movie where people kill zombies in original ways or show how much they care about the fans my making one that’s just one big spoof of zombie movies, while referencing others without trying to rip the originals off.
