Why didn't Logan become a zombie?


I used to own this film on tape. I remember that Rhodes killed Logan with a machine gun, but none of the bullets hit Logan in the head. Logan should have turned into a zombie after that, I think.

The script shows that the reanimation has passed by the end of the movie, where a dead character stays dead. Maybe it's a pointer to that and the hope that it's almost over.

So did they abandon this concept in Land of the Dead because they are reviving in that film.

Most likely.

I see Land more as a "reboot" than a sequel to the first three.

Meh, I am pretty sure I have heard die hard Romero fans state Land is part of the same universe as the original trilogy and that he was attempting to start a reboot from Diary forward. The timelines in the film seem to support this since Land clearly takes place a few years after the initial outbreak and Diary is right at the very start of the outbreak.

Land is not a reboot at all.

You may remember Logan being shot in the freezer doorway. His corpse lay refrigerated and possibly frozen thus delaying or stopping the transition to the undead.

Nicotero's head was the only thing to revive in the film.
