Of course it doesn't discount that 28 Days and Weeks were good movies, just that they weren't zombie movies.

28 days later and 28 weeks later are zombie movies. Get this, so is/are all the Resident Evils. I know, I know, back in your day zombies had to die first, wore bad makeup and moved at 2 mph (it is a wonder they ever killed anyone!). But things change. Old, immobile zombie stereotypes have changed. Now days, you can get infected by a supervirus one second, and be a deranged, fast zombiefied killing machine the next. No longer do we have to watch the hands digging out of the ground anymore, because we are no longer in the 60's, and we find that boring and cliche. No longer is a witch or voodoo doctor required to use mumbo jumbo that no one believes in to create a zombie, no, nowadays we rely on government or evil corporations with biological weapons to create more believable zombies that relies far less on supernatural deviltry.

The zombie genre has moved forward, you and anyone else can close your eyes and wish otherwise but there is a new direction in zombieflicks... and they all have one thing in common, they are bio weapon derived (The crazies, Zombieland, Quarantine, 28 days later, 28 weeks later, all 90 of the Resident Evil movies). Hell, even L4D1 & 2 are likely bioweapon derived, seeing as i am immune, since i get bit all the time.
