So what is a true a zombie movie?

My brother tells me that 28 Days Later isn't really a zombie movie. It's about monkey rage...Well he didn't say it was about monkey rage. That's my take on it, but I think he's right, which makes me wonder: Just what truly qualifies as a zombie movie? There was a zombie movie where the zombies apparently are our equal mentally in that they intellectualize, speak, and show emotion (angry emotion). That doesn't qualify as a zombie movie, does it? Zombies are suppose to be mindless boobies, aren't they? They are inferior to us, right? Is that one reason why these movies are so popular, because they make us like we could outsmart these creatures?
Hmmmm...
Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.
