One of my top ten too - let's hope this one passes beneath the studios' remake alerts radar.

The only bit that really disappoints me is that part about the zombies not showing up on photographs. The dubbing on George is occasionally a bit distracting too - I think his voice seems to have been modelled on Eric Idle! I love that cop though, with his ranting about George's "long hair and faggot clothes". I think the hospital scene's the highlight for me, though. Very claustrophobic and tense. Definitely near the top of my list of zombie films. It’s a superb film despite being let down by a couple of points like you said.
