A Zombie is a fictional character, and while Romero is credited for having created it, other filmmakers made use of the character utlizing their own unique vision. While you may consider the 'infected' in Danny Boyle's movie NOT zombie, many viewers may disagree, or agree with you. As in the case of other fictional characters like for instance, the Vampire. It has taken many forms, shapes, characteristics and qualities over the ages. I think it's an essential means for such characters to evolve and it's the main reason why we still find them fascinating. Vampires can be said to be wolves, or mists, or bats, they may be destroyed by sunlight or in some cases, the sun's ray means nothing...they may look extremly gross or quite beautiful. (Think Dracula, think Anne Rice's Vampire lestat or Edward Cullen from Twilight...) Zombies, from a very strict definition are undead, rising from the grave, may eat human flesh and lack the 'humanity' or control as normal beings have. But since it is a fictional character, the filmmaker can and have been constantly changing its characteristics. You may have seen FIDO, some viewers may consider it as zombies too, the same case in point with the 'infected' in Boyle's movie. As Jeremy said: [quote]added another dimension to the layer of the zombie as a character[/quote] which is exactly why it's considered a Zombie movie. It's the evolution of the character that is considered in the list. While we appreciate your feedback, it would have be nice if you refrain from using insults. We're here to discuss films and we welcome all comments. I'm not censoring you, as you seem to have some opinions you want to share as well. - Jed Tue, 26 Feb 2008 19:00:47 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy%5c%27s_top_5/tmf-topfive-bestzombiemovies/#comment-413 im sick of you ignorant a-holes calling 28 days later a zombie movie, it was an infection movie, the infected in the movie were not undead, and you didnt have to destroy the brain to kill them - jwest082 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:52:52 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy%5c%27s_top_5/tmf-topfive-bestzombiemovies/#comment-344 I run a video store and all of these movies are hard to keep on the shelves people love them so much they ren them and never bring them back, that in the rental industry is a huge compliment. ;D - Ellen Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:17:47 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy%5c%27s_top_5/tmf-topfive-bestzombiemovies/#comment-338 I love Bruce Campbell! I thought Army of Darkness was just brilliant fun. Also I liked 28 Weeks Later better than 28 Days Later because of the ethic and moral issues Robert Carlyle had to deal with, but 28 Days Later impressed me most at the time. As much as I love zombies, I really dig the fast ones, made for a really scary flick. I didn't like Dawn of the Dead too much. I love the list! Maybe I'll have a zombie weekend next weekend and re-watch some of my favorites. - soundtrackgeek Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:35:06 +0100
