HELL YES FAST ZOMBIES!

I never found the slow ones scary, just silly and kind of amusing...but fast ones are freaky as hell.

One of my favorite remakes in a long time, hell if ever.

rembar, you should pick up a copy of the Zombie survival handbook. in there it clearly states that zombies are as fast as the person they once were.

that being said, this clip had some ridiculous points. first off, one does not become a zombie that quickly. it takes a couple hours. second, that "guard rail" on the highway broke pretty easy, dont you think?

Shaun of the Dead is my favorite zombie movie.

Dignant, I already have a copy. When the zombies come, I will be ready!

I do agree the guy zombified pretty quicklly, but for the guard rail, aren't they generally supposed to be protecting against glancing impact? A head-on collision like the one here would probably take the thing out.

The description is inaccurate - Romero didn't have much to do with the film other than he wrote the original 1978 screenplay. Actually, he wasn't too fond of the remake because it was too video game-like.

But I can't believe that guy is still continuing his zombie series. It kicked off in 1968 and he's still keeping it alive/undead with "Land of the Dead" and up next, "Diary of the Dead."

Just to make things clear: this is not Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Whether it should be tagged Romero is less clear.

Also I'd like to join All Night Horrorshow. Please?
