I think the slow moving zombies work effectively, there is a level of exterior action that opens the film visually. But if you you have the fast moving zombies, which I’ve grown weary of, I mean that’s just absurd; but the point is the characters run away from the action, so there can’t really be any close-quarter action as in the original Dawn Of The Dead, which makes for better entertainment, I mean just look at the end sequence, it has humour and its action-packed.
But with the fast running zombies the characters have to shy away from the action into interior settings, so the whole thing will just be talking heads and very little action. The entirety of Act II in Zach Snyder’s Dawn Of The Dead deals with the characters reacting most of the time, until they device a plan to flee the shopping mall, which in my opinion made no sense whatsoever, why would they risk going into the open when they can stay indoors in a safe place? The electricity will be down in most places anyhow, so to me the second dosen’t work at all, at least in my opinion. Slow zombies make for greater action and suspense, and the running zombies, well they’re just boring.

Yeah, there only excuse for leaving is that they don’t want to die in a mall. I mean Ving Rhames’ character
was looking for his brother, but I think even he had been convinced that it was useless.
I don’t know though. In that situation I’d probly be the first to leave. I’d just have to see what the rest
of the world looks like. I can’t remember who said it or if this is even the actual quote, but I think someone
pretty smart once said something like: “Mankind’s thirst for knowledge is both a blessing and a curse”. Shit,
maybe it was actually just a character from a movie.
