I have to agree with this to an extent. The Vanishing (1993 with Kiefer Sutherland) was way lamer than the original Spoorloos (1988 Dutch) because apparently the American audiences could not take the creepy ending.

Now are they technically zombies? Is the definition of a zombie a reanimated corpse? Technically the "creatures" in 28 Days/Weeks Later were just infected and never dead before turning crazy. Is this a whole new genre or are they zombies?

These are the things I think about....
I say that they are technically NOT zombies. Although it seems that unless you shoot them in the head, they do not die. Maybe once an infected person is shot (in the heart) and should be dead, and then continues to be animated, they could be called a zombie.

Same with the zombie-like folks in I Am Legend.
