There was also Naoyuki Tomomatsu's BITE ME IF YOU LOVE ME in 2011:
| Quote: | Hitomi is a pretty high school girl who adores zombies. She has no interest in handsome boys like all other her friends. She has been mad for zombies as far back as she can remember. Hitomi has watched every zombie film ever made and she has an impressive collection of zombie goods and memorabilia
Hitomi's wettest dream is to have a zombie boyfriend, but no one believes she really wants to fall in love with a zombie. Then, one day, she meets up with Shota, a high school boy who everybody knows is still a virgin. This nerdy student is nicknamed "Zombie‐kun," or 'little‐boy' zombie. Hitomi studies every transformation technique she can get her hands on, hoping to develop a spell that will change Shota into a real zombie. Will Hitomi's efforts pay off? Will she actually manage to have her wettest dream come true and have sex with a post‐rigor mortis zombie? |
Takao Nakano's BIG TITS ZOMBIE and Yoshihiro Nishimura's HELLDRIVER are another two Japanese zombie movies that came out in 2011.

Big Tits Zombie had its world première theatrically in Japan on May 15, 2010. Helldriver had its world première at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas on September 28, 2010. Bite Me If You Love Me had its world première on rental DVD in Japan. (I deliberately excluded it and other movies that had/are to have their world premières on DVD, such as Girls Zombie and Sun of the Dead.)
Rain for the Dead could have a festival/theatrical world première this year. |

I haven't heard a peep about that project after Uziga announced it on his website last November, despite his claims of announcing more details and cast members soon. Considering I never heard of the proposed director and make-up artist before, this might just have been premature/wishful thinking and not be going to happen.
It'd be an uninspired choice for an Uziga adaptation anyway. I'd much rather see a film version of DEATH PANDA or MAI-CHAN'S DAILY LIFE. The latter needs to be made just to show Srdjan Spasojevic who's boss. |

Synopsis for Kazuya Ogawa's Killer Motel (Hitokui ryokan): "There is a Japanese style inn located in an out-of-the-way area near Mount Fuji. No one knows if it's in business or not, but the inn is owned by two people: the expressionless host, and his bewitching daughter. ¶ The host lures six patrons to stay at his inn for one night. All the guests feel the inn has an odd feel to it, but none of them pays attention to it in particular. ¶ In reality, the host and his daughter have a hidden agenda. They are hunting in order to feed the host's son: a huge living zombie hidden away in a locked room, whom these cruel hunters dote on as if he were still part of the family. ¶ A twisted tale illustrating conflicts of consciousness, cold-blooded insanity, and the depths one will sink to for the love of one's family is about to begin..."

Zomvideo is scheduled to be screened at Monster Fest in Melbourne, Australia on November 4th.
Here's a description of Zomvideo from Monster Fest: "Tired of zombies? We feel you, and that is why ZOMVIDEO is a uniquely hilarious dummies guide to zombies, a step-by-step instructional manual about how to deal with the denizens of the dead! This comedy-horror-satire aint' your average zombie story! Some fledgling editors working in a dead-end sleazy video company find a mystical VHS that is uncannily related to each undead encounter they face in the wake of a sudden zombie apocalypse in Tokyo city! ¶ The increasing denizens of the dead are led by two very enigmatic and deranged half-zombie women (played by J-Pop stars C-ute) who have a bizarre relationship and the strange ability to control the zombies every move. Playing direct from Yubari Film Festival Japan, this is one very charming, brand new and hilarious gem that is equal parts Shaun of the dead, Battle Royale and Videodrome! ZOMVIDEO brilliantly plays with the tropes and conventions of zombies and turns them into something you have never seen before and is easily the smartest horror-comedy to ever come out of Asia."
