zombie thoughts

I was wondering if "28 Days Later" qualifies as a Zombie movie. Note that when i say zombie movie, my high water mark are the George Romero "Dead" movies. I guess I'm trying to define zombie in a cinematic sense. "28 Days Later" certainly feels like a Romero type Zombie movie, but the antagonists are not reanimated corpses, rather they are alive

Gernally speaking, I'd say it follows the conventions of a zombie movie (large bits of it really remind me of Day of the Dead), even though the monsters aren't technically zombies.

I would tend to agree, although it has been a while since I saw "Day of the Dead."

I just picked up "Dawn of the Dead" remake, unrated version, and "Land of the Dead." I was actually a little diappointed in "Land" even though it had a couple of scary moments. The beginning of "Dawn" has the best, scariest scene in any zombie movie, when the little girl walks into their bedroom. Kind of ironic considering that Romero did "Land," but not the "Dawn" remake.
