See, here's where people get pissed off at me:
They're NOT ZOMBIES! Zombies are slow moving, unintelligent, re-animated corpses. The "creatures" in I Am Legend were just humans that, through the help of a virus, had gone through a total de-evolution of their social and intelligence skills. NOT ZOMBIES!
Also, off topic, one of my favorite movie series is the 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later combo, but I hear them being called zombies also. The easiest way of breaking it down without ruining the movies is this: A VIRUS is spreading through the people in the movies that causes intense rage and bloodlust, similar to giving a rabid wolf Methamphetamine. It does NOT turn them into mindless re-animated corpses.
The best way to put it is this:
ZOMBIE MOVIES:
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead (LOLOLOLOLOL)
Land of the Dead
Virus-related (NOT ZOMBIES):
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
The Resident Evil series (yes, I have heard them called zombies. chut up.)
I Am Legend
Other:
Army of Darkness
The Evil Dead
