^^In the majority of zombie movies the "virus" that causes the reanimation is passed through the blood, much like the infected in 28 Days/Weeks, however, in 28 Days/Weeks, the subjects that are infected never die before exhibiting symptoms such as that displayed by the classic non-voodoo "zombie." Thus 28 Days/Weeks are not zombie movies as a classic zombie film is all about the undead, the reanimated, what have you, and the infected in 28 days/weeks never die because of/before the virus takes over.
Furthermore, a rage infected human can be eliminated just the same as a normal human, whereas a classic "zombie" that has been reanimated has to have it's brain destroyed as that is the only part of the creature that is still "living" in a way. See the difference? Have to be dead and brought back to "life" to be a Zombie. @Ohiostateguy: I know dude, Im glad he's been popping up in alot of other movies. Haven't had the chance to meet Ken though but I hope to. Walking dead is not the only kind of zombie.. See Serpent and the Rainbow. Let's face it there are different kinds of zombies. The 28 series are still considered zombie flicks.

Well in Return of the living Dead you couldn't kill the zombies by shooting them in the head.

By your way of thinking, the zombies in Resident Evil aren't zombies either.
"True" voodoo zombies don't actually die. They are a drug induced, death like trance. Are you telling me that the original zombies aren't really zombies either? 28 Days/Weeks are zombie movies. Next thing that you are going to tell me is that the monsters in I Am Legend are vampires. lol I think that 28 Days/Weeks just "updated" what the zombies actually are. We've accepted Zack Snyder's version of "running zombies", so I think it's okay that we accept the 28 zombies also. Nocturnal Blood thirsty Weakness to sunlight Hybrids if you will. Zombies with elements of Vampires mixed in. Actually Mutants is probably a more appropriate term. But I would still totally consider I am Legend a Zombie flick.

I have to say that in I am Legend the infected were like a cross between Zombies and Vampires.

But I would still totally consider I am Legend a Zombie flick. You should see "Last Man on Earth". Way better than I Am Legend. The Will Smith movie is more of a remake of The Omega Man, also based on the book, I Am Legend. The book I Am Legend is actually the basis of Romero's Night of the Living Dead movie, and Matheson thinks that NotLD is the most faithful adaptation of his book. Romero freely admits that IAL is his story inspiration and that he cribbed much of the story.

2. Day of the Dead (original) Bub was cool. Gore was amazing. 3. Dead Alive...Lawnmower vs. zombies= awesome. Peter Jackson I love you. 4. Zombie 2 (zombie) Love the splinter to the eye and the shark vs. zombie scenes...classic. 5. Re-animator...Jeffrey Combs is cooler than Bruce Cambell 6. 28 days later...a modern "zombie" masterpiece. 7. Dawn of the dead (remake) wish the zombies didn't run...eveything else was perfect. Zach Snyder is great. 8. Shaun of the Dead...perfect balance of comedy and serious zombie story. This is where we all discover the great Simon Pegg. 9. Undead...very cool funny aussie zombie flic. 10.

I'll see if Video To Go has it. They're our local "weird" and hard to find video store. It's where I got Battle Royale, and Suicide Club. Both filled with awesome.

I was referring more to the book written by Richard Matheson, where the monster/mutants die, then come back to life, and they "think" they are vampires.....they are affected by garlic, religious symbols and the like, but it's psychological. Vampires are "living dead", but think and have their memories and higher functions.
You should see "Last Man on Earth". Way better than I Am Legend. The Will Smith movie is more of a remake of The Omega Man, also based on the book, I Am Legend. The book I Am Legend is actually the basis of Romero's Night of the Living Dead movie, and Matheson thinks that NotLD is the most faithful adaptation of his book.

I worked with the DP of that movie on a yet to be unreleased horror movie titled "Cut, Print". I was the boom operator for the Lansing/St Johns location.
He was an alright guy.
