I see we have a lot of newer zombie movie fans here. I suggest you give some of the older movies a try you might like them. I really enjoed the first half of 28 Days Later it was great. All 3 of the Resident Evil movies are really fun to watch.

Meh, just because something is a classic doesn't mean it's the best.

Newer zombie movies have trumped the older ones in most every way.

Yeah, it's not like old Hitchcock where the villains were creepy and methodical, which lent itself to the slower pace of old horror movies. Old zombies were slow, handicapped, and dumb. On top of that, almost all the movies were B-grade schlock that wasn't very good to begin with. Not a recipe for success, though there are a few older zombie movies I don't mind.

It's not often you will see me preaching how modern Hollywood has improved upon the old but this is one of those few cases.

zombies were slow because the film sub-genre hadn't developed beyond logic, which you really have to do in order to make a movie. They hadn't gotten beyond the "zombies just got out of rigor mortis" idea, when they could be part of a mob running up to feast on ya
