Zombie Movies are not Horroe Movies

This review will be more geared towards all zombie movies. I chose 28 Days Later to write this review because it isn't groundbreaking or "excellent"... it is just a zombie movie.
It is unfair to call zombie movies horror movies. They are distinctly different breeds and should be watched and judged as such. What zombie movies do that little horror movies can do is; on a large scale show the human form amidst complete societal breakdown. What I take from most zombie movies (28 Days Later included) is that zombies breakdown barriers to show how human intelligence not confined by societal rules and norms are more evil and scary than zombies themselves.
Also, come on man..... zombie movies make you think about what it would be like to live through a zombie apocalypse. Its a weird daydream to have.
If you don't like zombie movies, that's fine. Hate all you want. But don't hate on it as a horror movie. Hate on it as a zombie movie.
