Ahhhhh, and therein lies the rub!

The movies depict them as vampire-esque but really just infected people who can be brought back because they are undead.

For the life of me (pun alert) I can't remember what movie(s) had the "smart zombies." It wasn't a particular good movie(s) but the director was making a point about humanity. I thought it was a Romero film...I don't know. The main zombie character was a Black zombie that was paying attention and learning stuff.
