I first noticed the new generation of sprinting zombies when I watched Resident Evil and then 28 Days Later.

There were no zombies in 28 Days Later. They were people that were infected by a virus. Zombies are "The Living Dead", people that were dead and have been brought back to life by a curse, voodoo, witchcraft, Aliens in bad makeup......
You gotta die before you can be a Zombie, and some Zombies are in better shape than others.:D
I've got way too much time on my hands latetly!:rolleyes: -
Hehehehehehehe, well now we have "fast zombies" I watched it and it was fun, someone else's vision of the original, I thought that the fact they were in a Mall was appropriate for life today, although the charachters could of been developed more it was a zombie movie afterall. I thought the extras with Andy's Last Days film footage was great!!

Good question about the footspeed of zombies. I'm certainly not an expert, but this may just be a natural evolution that's taking place with Earth's zombies. The ones that sprint get the meal, while the ones that don't fail to catch the fresh tissue of the living human. I think it's a more exciting world to live in when zombies run like cheetas.
Perhaps this helps to paint the picture: Men that can't impregnate women, have sperm that behave like the zombies from the original "Night of the Living Dead," while men that impregnate women, have sperm that behave like the zombies in the new "Dawn of the Dead." My dad must have sperm that behave like that Chinese zombie with only one arm; my man was flat out kicking up some dust ... the oriental Carl Lewis.

I just can't take horror movies seriously. The writing is usually so horrible.
One of many, many examples... In Dawn of the Dead... let's say you're the three security guards in the mall. You have one or two guns between you. Then four or five other people (who aren't the 'bad guys') show up, with a gun or two of their own.
Now, would anyone other then a complete and utter moron tell them to go away, that this is your hiding spot?
Oh, and then once they decide to let them stay they (of course) all decide to split up to look around the mall.
Virtually all horror movie characters are that stupid.Just... Bonham

~~ Not sure regarding the first issue. Now, and of course you're right, having the group split up to have a look about the mall was absurd, but had they met the security guards already? I can't remember, but I thought they took the solo tours prior to confronting the rather amusing security guards.

I'm pretty sure they'd already met the security gaurds... but I could be wrong. It's not like the movie had me rivited with attention.
I've never seen a horror movie that I was supposed to take seriously that I thought was really very good. There are movies out there that will creep me out a bit, that have parts that you would describe more as 'disturbing', but they aren't really horror films. It's a so-so example, but like the part in Silence of the Lambs where the girl down in the pit knows he's starving her just so that when he kills her it'll be easier to remove her skin... it's kinda disturbing, but it's not exactly the kind of thing that's going to make me jump in my seat.Just...

What I find most confusing is the fact that the zombies want to eat non-zombie human flesh for some reason. However, when they bite a human, that human becomes another zombie, so thier flesh is then no longer attractive. Makes no sense.
I like the idea about evolution making zombies faster, however what is the negative reinforcement? They are already dead.
I watched the movies Dawn of the Dead and The day after Tomorrow back to back. I definatly enjoyed day after better, but thought that it would be cool if someone combined these 2 movies. Imagine being chased by zombies and an ice age, that would really suck. lol
