Im a little tired of 28 Days Later being grouped in with zombie movies and documentaries.  So FYI 28 DAYS LATER is NOT A ZOMBIE MOVIE.

Still a good training film, though. I wonder if CS grenades would effect them?  Anybody know?

They were just infected with evil. Still very much alive and that means CS would still make you evily unhappy.

I do love how they have the PETA/ALF losers release the virus.

They're not zombies reanimated and possessed by supernatural evil but there are a lot of similarities.

The Omega Man isn't really about zombies either but it is sometimes worth discussing when the zombie-theme comes up.

It's all social commentary in a way anyway.  About becoming the minority in your own world where everyone else becomes part of an evil collective (communism/socialism) out to get you and turn you into one of them or kill you.

Of course it was a zombie movie!

A virul infection, transfer through blood and the urge to eat the living.  Keep in mind that there is no set rules for what is and is not a zombie.  George Romero blew his title with this last movie having those zombies who taught eachother to shoot guns ().

28 days was a terrible movie about Sandra Bullock being sentanced to a rehab clinic who befriends some whacky loser people.

It would have been better with Courtney Love though. She would have fit right into that mess.

I agree, it should be included as a training film. I think "Shaun of the Dead" has good points too.

Zombies are the dead reanimated. Zombies must be killed by destroying the brain. The infected people in 28 days later could be killed by any means that would kill an uninfected person.

as a side not:

the zom.....    things in 28 days later did not eat the flesh of the living/non-whacko people. they would vomit blood on them to infect them, or beat them to a bloody pulp..

the end of 28days later showed a few starved to death creatures who , by the looks of it, needed a few Big Macs with extra cheese. they did not eat the living, so, they died. rage is a bitch aint it?

Actually, I will take everyone here to task on that.  ORIGINALLY, ZOMBIES WERE NOT THE REANIMATED DEAD.  In fact, TRUE ZOMBIES are NOT the reanimated dead.  Real zombies are folks who are drugged into a brain damaged state, where at first they APPEAR DEAD.  Later they are "resurrected" to become slaves.  The "living dead" were at some later point referred to as "Zombies" due to their addled state.


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........

In all "reality" 28 Days Later is a more technically correct "Zombie" film.



Now.....LOCK AND LOAD!!!  It's time ta shoot some Zombies!!!!
