(IMHO) Both DOTD's contained elements of people realizing they needed each other to some degree to stay alive. There biggest concern was not coming back as "one of them" if they were bitten.
As far as the BM movies, they are not great films, but they are good. They use actors on location or sets, and FX, not blue/green screens and a bunch of CG.
I don't want to try and say that CG is not a form of FX, it's a developing form like all FX getting better and more complex as time goes by. But a guy sitting at a computer in an office somewhere using software to create graphics is just not as effective for me.
DOTD remake is a good example of a film with a lot of FX, that is very effective, and uses some of the "less is more element", but it does contain a great deal of graphic, (gore) scenes. New does not always mean better.
