does j. leguizamo just look like a eerily like a zombie or is that actually him playing a zombie? fucking eerie
i love zombie movies but i 28 days later will always have the highest, weird, special place in my heart as far as they go. i kind of gave up on them after i saw that. it's like after you read a great great book & get really bummed cos you know yr not gonna read a book as great for awhile

well, zombie film snobs will tell you that technically 28 Days Later isn't a zombie film because the people in it weren't dead. ;-)

Good point!

Those people should be shot.

What abouts Danny Boyle and Alex Garland who mention this in the 28 Days Later commentary? Can't we give them lethal injection instead?

How could it make everyone into zombies if they're not yet dead? There's no way fpr you to BE dead with how little the people get attacked. The dad just gets a drop of bird blood in his eye. He's obviously alive. Yet the definition of zombie requires for one to be unDEAD, or one of the living DEAD, etc. I mean, zombies like the human flesh, right? They don't even go for flesh in 28 Days Later. They just throttle you until you've gotten enough infected blood into an orifice... That is soooo not a zombie. And if Alex Garland says this is so... I'd imagine if anyone was a proper judge on the subject...

...& they never call them zombies even

You prefer 28 Days Later to the original Dawn of the Dead?! Insanity. I ADORE 28 Days Later with a passion, and in fact, I personally love Day of the Dead more in the series then Dawn, but I STILL think that pound for pound, George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead is the greatest undead motion picture ever made. The wisest, smartest, funniest, most action-packed, adorable picture of it's genre ever made.

Apparently George hates calling the creatures in his movies 'zombies'. Says he never intended anyone to regard them as such in the first place, when to him zombies were the voodoo-laden big hulking nit-wit monkeys preforming prefunctory obligations for a mad scientist, when these were lethal, quicker witted free to do what they want "GHOULS" as he has put it.

You should help me start the George A Romero GHOUL revolution. VIVA LA GHOUL!

As much as I love the zombie creature, I will help you start the VIVA LA GHOUL revolution. :p
