I remember seeing the original zombie movies years ago and was forced to watch them by my older brothers(the pratts!LOL!), so maybe it hardened me to them, but the running thing they do REALLY freaks me out! Zombies are supposed to shuffle, not sprint, as you rightly said Fy Lover! GRJ
i quite enoyed the re-make of Dawn of the Dead, still prefer the original, but when i was watching the re-make and i first saw that male zombie peep running after his wife i thought "what the hecks going on here", zombies chasing cars, i thought "that not right" but it does add an extra twist, with them running, like in 28 Days Later
and by the way, i agree with an earlier post, i thought 28 Days Later was great, i couldnt get into 28 Weeks Later, the characters were not as good, and those kids being the focus annoyed me! It just turned a weird on me (28 Weeks Later)
EDIT: by doing this, are you hinting at some Ninja Zombie action? LOL
EDIT: i hope the fact that zombies are now running in films doesnt lead to a total re-invention of the original zombie and we end up with Zombie's hot-wiring cars and stuff, hacking into computer systems to storm some safe-camp peeps lodged in
Although it made me chuckle, i really didnt like LAND OF THE DEAD (Romero), and the bit where the Zombie "euthanised" another zombie was just going too far with the "zombies have intelligence" theme
Can you imagine? the next thing is we'll have a group of Zombie's planning how to tactfully storm a building, there will be one Zombie ordering others about, saying things like "i want three zombie's down the left flank, watch out for friendlies" etc etc
They might as well just completely evolve back into humans again. They get bit, die, then within a few days they back to their human state, all be it with a few chunks of flesh missing and needing a make-over
