With regard to the similarities between zombies and the residents of the blue zones, I Am Legend might have accidentally hit fairly close to the mark with its depiction of "hyper-violence" as a major characteristic.
The older zombie flicks showed violence, but I Am Legend took the pack-hunting / predator angle to new heights.
Also, all of the blue zones are surrounded by suburban and rural regions, hostile territory for the blue-zone predators. Recall the helicopter flight out of the city in the original Dawn of the Dead? "Those rednecks are having themselves a field day."
Nah, I was down the Winchester, having a pint, waiting for this whole thing to blow over! :-)

Absolutely. And brilliant analysis!
"Cuz they still believe there's respect in dyin'"...
Cue the Vaudeville music...and throw the pies!
