Zombies

So do people agree with me that in Zombies movies the zombies should always be like the Romero zombies (slow , stupid) im a pureist and I dont like all the fatst zombies around in movies these days , Anyone agree or dissagree ??

there is a book called Day By Day Armageddon by J.L Bourne and the zombies are slow until they drop nuclear bombs and some of them get preserved and slightly hightend senses better hearing and they were able to move at jogging pace I think that was a good way of putting faster zombies in while staying true to the romero movies

I agree. The traditional zombies are slow. But hey they're effective.
they caused trouble for the people in night of the living dead, shawn of the dead, and raccoon city in resident evil. fast zombies = no infection. slow zombies = a LOT of infection funny how that works eh?
totally agree with you though.

I saw the remake of DAY OF THE DEAD pure crap zombies could run jump and walk on celings and there was a vegetarian zombie in it , rubbish rubbish rubbish

Eh, I kind of disagree. Every once in a while we need a zombie that can move a little fast. It's more entertaining. Jumping around and crawling on the celings is over the top, though and a veggie zombie? What? That's ridiculous.
There was this zombie movie that was pretty good. I forget the name of it, but there was like this dust storm that had some sort of bacteria and it caused people to go into that zombie state because there was this bug type thing that needed a host, someone to feed off of. The one way to prevent it from happening to you was to get wasted because the bug doesn't like the alcohol. =P That was a cool twist.

I'll agree also..

It a lot of the newer zombie moves they became zombies resulting from some kind of sickness. If you think about it there not really zombies. =/

ya there is a difference between people infected with a virus and zombies

for e.g 28 days later (infected)--not zombies

dawn of the dead --- zombies

Actually by definition a zombie can be either a 'reanimated corpse' (Night of the Living Dead, etc.) or a 'mindless human being' (28 Days Later, Left 4 Dead, etc.). So they're ALL considered zombies...

I find the 'viral outbreak' scenario more intriguing than 'reanimated corpses' ...because its actually plausible. Imagine an evolved strain of 'rabies' that effects humans the same way it affects other animals... scary...

I suppose its a matter of opinion , but I grew up on zombie movies and ill always prefer the old style and I wont consider films like 28 days later zombie movies , I still like them type of movies but just not as much

I'd prefer the classic slow zombies haha.. for some reason it's creepier to me.

dude have you seen the game Left 4 Dead..??

Running zombies does not infect people by biting...

But Walking Zombies is XIET!!!

They infect you just by biting you!!

no I've a Ps3 and am thinking of gettin a 360 but I heard that Left 4 Dead is ment to come out for the Ps3

Romero drew his inspiration for his interpretation of zombies from Richard Matheson's undead vampires in the book... ***I Am Legend*** and Matheson's short story...***Dance of the Dead***

In the book... the infected slowly deteriorated along with their physical abilities... becoming lumbering morons before their end...

To me... this is the best scenario... it has a place in reality... after all... the musculature of a recently deceased zombie is basically the same as someone alive... but as time molts the tissue... the zombie displays the effect.
