THANK YOU!!! I was starting to feel like the only sane person on this board there for a minute!
The zombies in the voodoo religion don't die and then regenerate and these are known as the only REAL (non-film) zombies to exist. Therefore, the definition given that a zombie is a reanimated corpse is only a partial definition. The zombies in 28 Days Later would fall under definition #3.
Okay, so the director calls it a zombie film. The film feels like a zombie film. And the creatures in it fit the definition of a zombie.
How can this debate possibly go on?
P.S. And Newb..... Bruce Lee would whip an angry chimps ass!!!! hahaha
