I'd say as far as the main genre you'd have to classify it as horror and sub-genre it as a thriller maybe. Checked Netflix just for the hell of it and they have it in horror, doesn't really mean much though. I personally don't put much stock in genres because I like a lot of films that transcend them and I really don't feel the need to label a movie. You could call it a pseudo-zombie film but that's simply a sub genre of horror in itself. People being overcome with rage and killing others mercilessly is pretty horrific whether they are "zombies" or not. I liked 28 Days Later, not as much as I thought I would because of the hype and even for different reasons; but I did enjoy it.
