Versus looks like a film made by high-school kids who have seen The Matrix way too many times. The camera work is especially bad. Junk is fun, though.
The best....Fulci's Zombi and The Beyond, Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, the great Blind Dead series, Dead Alive, Return of the Living Dead, and Re-animator.
Also fun, and very important in understanding the genre, are all the apocalyptic Italian movies, stuff likeDr Butcher MD, Burial Ground, City of the Living Dead, Zombie 4, etc.
Cool ultra-indie stuff would be the two Meat Market movies and the extremely original Shatter Dead. Avoid any shot-on-vid movie by Todd Sheets.
Also worth a look....Dead Next Door, FleshEater, White Zombie, The Dead Pit, and I Walked With a Zombie. And anything else I might've overlooked. Check out The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia for an almost complete listing and great reviews.
