I AM LEGEND is a damn vampire movie. Or should have been. Damn movie makers.

Okay then it isn't just me. I guess it's just like the other infected movies where the people become, what many consider to be, zombies.

LOL @ BadCat25. Keep fighting the good fight. Maybe having a zombie bookclub or zombie movie nights will make your sisters recognize what's at stake. Or, they may kick you out of the sorority and try to commit you to an insane asylum. The "infected" absolutely love hospitals and insane asylums. Be careful!

The book makes them so explicitly vampires

Yeah they're undead, but they're specific undead!

The Feed/Deadline books have recently 'amplified' (as viral overload can occur post-mortem or kill the individual while alive) zombies can run but they lose that ability relatively quickly. They're also smarter the more of them are around. It's a great twist. *wills the obsession to expand to reading*

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.

That movie is George Romero's "Land of the Dead." The smart zombie was "Big Daddy" played by Eugene Clark.

I was reading about hottie Simon Baker and remembered he was in that film. Such a frivolous way to recall a zombie film. George Romero, I have failed thee.
