The Game Mechanics posted a free zombie called "Anthropophagi" that might be what you're looking for. Check out the link here:

They seem to have the same speed as they did when living, so you'll just want to adjust the speed to suit your tastes. One possibility is to use what AFMBE calls "the Lunge", which simulates zombies who shamble around aimlessly until they sense rich, tasty flesh. Essentially, when the zombie gets close enough to someone to eat them (say, 20' or so) they suddenly double in speed and close the remaining distance surprisingly fast. Basically think of it as a short charge.

Of course, this trick will only get your PCs a couple of times. Another possibility is to customize zombies like NPCs- some of the most memorable characters from the mobies are special zombies (like Bub from Day). So you could, for example, have a child zombie that's faster than most, a large zombie who's slower but stronger, or a policeman zombie with a helmet protecting his head from gunshots. You get the picture.
