"In the 1980s, the zombie onslaught was everywhere: on our televisions, adverts and music videos, which led to an eventual lack of interest from the public and a whole lot of "meh". Once there were dancing zombies in Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', being scared by them ever again seemed liked a hard task. When it comes to the best zombie movies of the 21st century, you're almost spoilt for choice for scares.
Zombies almost completely disappeared from our media until 2004 when the both excellent Shaun of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead were released, with the latter doing a lot to introduce "fast" zombies to a new modern audience. Replacing shuffling, sometimes laughable slow zombies with sprinting lunatics did a lot to revitalise the perception of the undead as legitimate monsters once again."
