That movie really scared me. I'm kind of thankful I saw it a while ago, but even still I remember all these horrible images from it.
I know exactly what you mean by having an aversion to plague/zombie movies. I love them and hate them at the same time. It's like you said, I don't enjoy watching them (because they're too disturbing for me), but I love having seen them. There's just something so unsettling and horifying about something that spreads and no one has any control over. And then you end up alone with people trying to eat you on all sides and you can't do anything and it's just horrible. ;-;
And the soldiers scared the shit out of me as well. Nothing was wrong with them (they weren't infected), but they were still out of it, if you know what I mean. Everyone goes crazy except for the group of main characters, and that frustrates me and horrifies me.
Shawn of the Dead scared me quite a bit too. Yes, I am a little bit pathetic.
P.S. Have you seen the Ebola virus movie? (I'm guessing it's called 'Ebola' or maybe 'Airborne'...) With the monkeys? XD
Movies like that don't scare me as much (although they are disturbing), even though they deal with similar sort of things. They don't allow everyone in the world except for one group of people to become infected. And Ebola isn't something that makes you want to eat/destroy other people to make them like you. I don't think.
Also, I got a DVD the other day with 3 movies on it and immediately thought of you. It has in it The Little Shop of Horrors, Night of the Living Dead (the original) and House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price. :D
