Corrected entry: The Zombies in this film can all run at fairly high speed. Running requires some intelligence (considering you have to concentrate and focus when you run). If they are clever enough to do this, I find it hard to believe that all they seem capable of doing the rest of the time is growling, acting dumb and munching on human flesh.

Corrected entry: What happened to the little girl at the beginning? The main woman locks her out of the bedroom when she attacks her husband. When she escapes, her husband comes back through the front door to chase her. He would've had to pass the girl to get back out and since they seem to hunt in packs you would've thought she'd be with him. Where did she go?
Correction: The little girl could not possibly block a man twice her size and weight, so she is no obstacle to him escaping. She didn't see Ana go out the window, so she probably entered the room as soon as the husband opened the door and tracked Ana to the bathroom, then spent some time figuring it out while he went outside. Also, the undead don't hunt in packs, they are simply commonly attracted to food and certain locations that had great meaning in their lives (like the mall.) In the initial chaos, there are no roaming packs of zombies, and later there is no organization to the mobs.

Correction: While there is a definite science to Olympic running, basic running is a fairly simple and largely instinctive action. Though it does take a sense of balance and coordination, most of this is governed by the cerebellum and brain stem, not the cerebrum that controls speech and "higher" brain functions. Besides, the zombies do have some memory of their lives and would recall how to run with muscle memory, the same way you remember how to ride a bike. It ain't rocket science, or even language.
