They were infected with rage. A zombie has no other functions other than feeding. It does not have the capacity to use any other function than walking. It's stupid. Also, I'll always take the real thing over CGI. When I can tell that what I'm looking at is computer generated it loses all of its effect.

You still missed the point that Rez was making. You are so immersed into the mythos of what a zombie is "supposed" to be. It's still a fictional creation and it doesn't always have to rely on the norm of what zombies have been doing for decades.
If I want to create a story where zombies are super human fighting machines that fly, run at 200 mph and straight wreck s
hit. I will and I will proceed to call them zombies because I motherf
ucking can.
Another thing, I'm tired of people constantly bitching about CGI. CGI is the natural progression of merging technology with film. Practical effects has it's place and so does CGI. They can both live in the same world. All these anti-CGI rants that people go on make me sick. Not everything needs to be immersed in realness.
