Here's a way to accomplish your goal in Hollywood. Write a script where a doctor figures out a way to engineer a virus that will work on dead flesh, which as a biproduct reanimates the dead. Then tweak it that it is a Jewish doctor, who ends up reanimating the corpses of those killed in the Holocaust... or if you want something more timely, to those killed in suicide bombings
​
Isn't the first part of that the plot to 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse'?
.... or IS that the plot to 'RE: Apocalypse' ??????
​
As to the life Vs non-life issue, maybe the problem is that
there isn't really a distinction at all. It's all just
'stuff' that reacts with other 'stuff' in a particular
way (governed by the chemical and physical properties).

It was just that in Resident Evil: Apocalypse the
umbrella corporation has a beauty product that
regenerates dead skin cells and ....
​
Rather than just a general similarity to zombie/living dead
causation.
​
I like George A Romero's 'Well this satellite crashed so it
must have been something to do with that...' explanation.
​
Not seen 28 Days later ... just seemed like an Omega Man
rip-off to me -- might give it a look though.

Yeah but the dead don't come back as the good guys do they? That was my little twist on it.
​
True ... now I'd go to see your one
​
Ahem, and Omega Man was original? I believe it was preceded by a little something called "I am Legend."
​
Yeah ... but 'The Omega Man' bills itself as an adaptation
of 'I am Legend' .... and it's got Chuck Heston and Anthony
