Because I sure did. The don't have to be running or anything, but jeez amirite?

That is why Roger and Peter were running right pass them but regardless they still got surround and Roger still got bit.
shareYep, some of them are slow, but when they've got a purpose they're fast. Like when they attack Stephen in the loft and in the apartment block.
shareEven then they were pretty slow. Slo-mo zombies. Except when they had flares or torches in their faces, then they threw up their hands pretty damn fast. As an older, more experienced movie viewer, I notice all sorts of things I didn't when I was younger. It makes me a better filmmaker or actor in theory but it makes me a miserable movie viewer. The only reason I haven't given up on movies altogether and just read books is those surprising rare gems that come along when you'd least expect them to.

Glad I'm not you.
shareIt's not that they're slo-mo zombies, it's that others are fast-mo zombies. As an older, more experienced movie viewer, surely you've noticed the decreasing patience and attention span of movies in general over the years.
shareNope. It's never bothered me. I prefer the lurching zombies in the original over the over-caffeinated "zombies" in the remake.
shareThe "official zombie shuffle" works just fine. Romero basically created the genre; he gets to decide how zombies should properly walk.
sharePoints to the slow yet certain grip that death has over all of us.
Romero zombies will get you eventually.
Running zombies will snap tendons and break bones as they push through any living pain barrier.
They don't have the same longevity. Modern zombies are short term terrifying, but can be outrun in the long term.
