I've made several films with pretty good titles.

This is my only film I am a little stuck with the title.

The film is about a teenager named Kevin Syerman, who's life quickly changes when a meteor collides with Earth and releases hundreds of parasites, creating a huge epidemic. The parasites turns people into zombies.

The movie is like a war against this epidemic. The current title is "THE EPIDEMIC WAR"

Is this title good? Bad? Comments.

Film is a story told with moving pictures...

It seems kind of weird for me, like your using the same word twice.

Why not just "The Epidemic" or just "Epidemic". Or maybe you could have the title be the name of the parasites?

Sounds a lot like Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.

I hardly think so, invasion of the bodysnatchers was about pods and communism.
Maybe you could use the name of the meteor as the title?
Or what the parasites are called?
I think "the epidemic war" needs improvement.

Reminds me of Night of the Creeps.

My question on your title is how serious a movie is this going to be? A comedy would have a different sort of title than a serious picture.

Epidemic War doesn't work for me because it means nothing. Is this like the war to end Polio? To vague. Very zombie movie since the 90s (and Aids) has been a plague of some sorts anyway so Zombie and Epidemic are almost redundant.

Not that vague titles aren't often used but I tend to hate them. I prefer some hint at the genre at least. For zombie movies that usually means having Zombie, Dead or Undead in the title.

The movie is suppossed to be very serious. The title "zombie War" was good and I have thought about it before, but it turned out that it has already been the title for a short film on the internet and is a registered copyright.

Outbreak would have made a pretty good title but that was already a film.

Anyway.. You guys don't have to help me anymore, I'll try figuring this one out on my own.

What about a title like 'Mortambula' or something Latin sounding that isn't a real word.
