However: I must simply point out that you did not enjoy 28 Days Later that much, and that Near Dark raises the bar pretty high in the fun department for vampire films.
I didn't like 28 Days Later very much, this is true. However, I also do not have much use for Near Dark, which I found a trifle dull, though nowhere near as stultifying as I did 28 Days Later.
However, the 1990 Night of the Living Dead was a gleeful and Karo syrupy romp. Resident Evil had all the parts that make a fun movie -- one-dimensional portrayals (none of those pesky layers and subtleties), impractical clothing to allow us to see yummy thighs, gratuitous nude scene with bruising, wicked British girl in a pinafore, excessive cursing, soundtrack superior to plot, and enough penetrating wounds and trains in tunnels to make Fellini smile.
I think there are more vampire movies that are good than there are zombie movies that are good, but that when a zombie movie is good, it's more fun than its equally good counterpart.
