The "Dawn of the Dead" remake was not only was respectful of the original, but it added a new texture to the zombie films-zombies that can run and have very quick reflexes.
The traditional zombie ushered in by the original "Night of the Living Dead" has fallen out of fashion, and is no longer compatible with what is currently in vogue.
It is also no longer scary.
The last couple of Romero zombie flicks felt as if they had something missing-that extra sense of panic and foreboding because of this.
Knowing you can't just walk past a zombie and they won't get you because they're too slow anymore has thrown a new twist in the genre, and has the potential to make new films of this type much more action-packed and exciting.
