Top Ten Reasons the i am legend monsters were actually vampires!

10. Zombies are the living dead, meaning they died and rose from the grave, not that they transformed into zombies., However, many legends say that vampires are transformed while still alive.
9. Vampirism until recently was thought of a disease that is caught from other vampires, so the fact that the I Am Legend monsters where created by a virus does not rule out vampires, it in fact is still closely related to a “true to the myth vampire”
8. Many legends say that when vampires go without feeding they are stricken mad, and behave like crazed savage humans, which is how the I Am Legend creatures behaved, meanwhile zombies are often brainless wanderers and very slow.
7. If you don't buy into the slow zombie story do you believe in the smart one? Zombies are always dumb creatures yet the I AM Legend creatures used the main characters own trap against him. That is certainly a very intelligent action
6. The creatures, like all vampires where fast strong and could jump very high. Plus during the scene when they attack his house, the guy he is fighting bites his neck and throws him around by it. Then his neck is hardly bleeding for the rest of the movie, almost like instead of ripping his neck apart he merely pierced it with fangs
5. Robert Neville is attempting to make a cure using his “immune blood” now many of his trials fail ultimately, nearly every time he injects his blood into an infected creature their symptoms are temporarily suppressed, later they may die or regress but it seems that blood sooths their hunger, even if it isn't the cure.
4. Before killing his dog he checks his eyes and teeth, upon checking his teeth you can see a new tooth emerging from his gums like a fang perhaps?
3. They burned in the sunlight, last time I checked this is a vampire curse, and has nothing to do with zombies
2. Vampires almost always have out of the ordinary eyes, now you may be wondering where I am going with this point because the normal movie watcher would never catch this and actually realize the significance, but if you think carefully you may remember a flashback scene in the movie where in an attempt to quarantine the city they scanned peoples eyes to determine if they had the infection.
1. The book admits they are vampires. http://www.worstpreviews.com/review.php?id=568&section=preview explains pretty well the difficulties in showing the vampire traits in the movie and why they appear to be zombies
