Of course the slower zombies are more traditional, but I have often wondered if this "evolution" that's happened in the DOTD remake (and I only list those, as I maintain that the 28DL creatures were not zombies - they were still alive, so by definition were not zombies - I wish people would stop nitpicking this cool film), as I was saying, I've often wondered if maybe this will be a growing trend - Romeros next film apparently has faster/AND more intelligent zombies too...Maybe it's just that the film directors have thought "fuck it - I simply WILL NOT think of another way for a slow moving, decrepid corpse to back a living, thinking human being into a corner from which they cannot escape, shit like that just doesn't fly anymore", it could be that...
Although I think in the DOTD remake, it was a little too sudden - I'd have liked to have seen some lumberers too...that's why I think Romeros 4th in the series will be worth a look, from what I've read, the zombies evolve within the film, and a different thing happens depending on who is bitten by what kind of zombie...etc, it appears as though he's trying to bridge the gap and explain how this happens - while appealing to both those that like the fast, and the slow type.
I'm personally looking foward to seeing both types in the one film (not to mention the "thing that we haven't seen before")...I think it'll make for a pretty damn scary experience.
As for my standing preference, I'd have to go with the slow, falling apart "actually dead" zombies - if only for the amount of great films they've graced.
