"Not a zombie"? Dead needs to be reanimated, huh? Then what do you think of Henrietta, the old lady at the cellar?! She's dead, and she really looks reanimated to me! And how about Ash's girlfriend? Her head was severed from her body. I'm pretty sure she's dead. Yet she still walks..just like a zombie. And by your definition I believe she IS a zombie.
If one movie on the list can be debated on if it's a zombie movie, it's "28 Days Later". Those guys are infected only by 'Rage' and are very much still alive. They can be killed pretty much like any other living being. Except they have extreme tolerance for pain. Just like Al Pacino in the ending of 'Scarface'. 🙂
