[QUOTE="Tetsubo, post: 1284653, member: 1250"] I think that zombies just follow a simple set of programs: 1) Consume living humans. 2) Avoid obstacles. 3) Return to Number 1. Fellow zombies aren't living humans so they are just obstacles. These simple lines of programming give you th zombie "horde". And 28 Days was a well executed film that had major plot holes. The "virus" behaved in a way contrary to living virii. If it was a virus it would need an incubation period. If it was a poison the infected would need time to process more of the poison so that they could infect others. In the film you were converted in about 30 seconds. And were able to infect others as soon as you were converted. A "disease" that spread that fast is just silly. Not to mention how did it spread to other cities? Once infected you become an enraged ape. Enraged apes can't work cars, trains and planes. the authorities just set up perimeters outside of a city. Anyone that doesn't speak gets shot. Phone calls and radio waves move faster than enraged apes. Not to mention that the uninfected can use firearms. Which is why this film was set in England and not the US. Far too many firearms in the US. I personally could have stopped most of those infected attacks with what I have in my home. Sorry if I hijacked this thread... [/QUOTE]
