I don't think that many people have made it a point to say they're "new", as much as to say they're not traditional, so to speak.
Not to mention, aside from nightmare city which I haven't seen, the others are hardly an example of "quality" zombie films...but hey, just my opinion there.
I myself don't give a shit whether or not zombies run. If they're undead and still moving, it's not as though it's all logical in the first place.
Some of the zombies ran in a game I just played, and it still kicked ass, I believe that "zombie" movies depend on atmosphere, direction, score, good writing and camera work...not how fast a zombie can get itself around.
Those that let such a minor thing spoil the film for them, shouldn't.
It's like ditching your favourite chocolate bar on account of not liking the new wrapping...well, I guess that's something like the point I'm trying to make.
For the record, I maintain that 28DL was NOT a zombie movie by definition, and I thought it was great. Fuck any fanatics that can't deal with it.
