Should zombies run?

However I was and still am a little bit skeptical as to the plausibility of RUNNING zombies. It just seems a liitle too awkward for reanimated dead bodies to stand up, come back to life, and then run after you like Jesus Christ. All of the original zombie flicks by George Romero and others portrayed the undead as slow, wobbling, drooling monsters (as they should be), and no running whatsoever. Am I wrong for liking the new 2004 remake because I like the added suspense of zombies running after their dinner? I still rank the original zombie flicks as reigning supreme, though. Always and forever!

Dead body zombies are slow and stupid.

virus zombies are viscious and fast.

I think they ****ed up with the remake by making that mistake.

I don't really like the evolution of these Zombies, cause it takes away an important element, a single zombie isn't a real threat as soon as their numbers increase (an the plague spreads) it turns into an unstoppable slow wave of flesh eaters. Your only real advantage then is that they're slow and your fast, walls etc. won't stop them for long cause of the numbers. And if you look now at the running zombies and think of a "real life" scenario everyone would be totally ****ed, you have to destroy their brais to kill them but it's almost impossible to hit a target that's fast and then it's not only one, plus their numbers should increase way faster than the slow ones AND fast zombies simply doesn't need to rest, if your not in a car or something you're ****ed. It needs a lot of PIS (yes even for Zmbies 😂 ) to make the movie watchable.

**** no they shouldnt run
theyre zombies
dead people brought back to a semi-existance and therefore shouldnt run imo

if they run then theyre just genetically modified like in RE: Extinction

if i am was a zombie, i want to be able to run.but i might be mindless so i might have no other concept in my head than eating your brains.i do like the way planet terror did zombies.

Living dead should not run.

Infected should.

Like the girl said in left for dead " there not supposed to be that fast, im calling zombie bulls*** on that"

Maybe at first before the body starts decaying is exceptional they could run but besides that, thats the only close to exception i could know!
