2. Fast Zombies
Probably one of the hottest potatoes in the entire horror genre, the whole slow zombie vs. fast zombie argument still rages on today. For me, the slow zombie wins, every time. True, you could say that the fast, aggressive zombie is the next evolution of this age-old monster but I'd argue back with "hasn't The Walking Dead proved that there's still a lot of life left in walkers?" Figuratively speaking, of course. In the book, the Zombies are walkers. Yet in this film, according to the trailer, the zombies are runners. You've already read about how director Marc Forster couldn't seem to make this decision until around three weeks before shooting commenced; to me it seems like a decision made in panic. Almost as though when pressured for an order he said "hey, running zombies are faster, more aggressive and therefore scarier, right? Let's go with that", all the while forgetting the fundamental rule of thumb that sometimes, particularly in cinema, less is more.
