Like Azzy not getting into this one haha. But yeah they're not zombies but trying to explain that to anyone not horror inclined is just mind numbingly frustrating that I don't even bother.
I've heard people and I'm not kidding, call Evil Dead a zombie film and that right there irritates the living hell out of me. They get demonically possessed by candarian demons who were released when the ancient words were spoken from the tape recorder. None of that has remotely anything to do with zombies.
