Only after you die, can you become a Zombie. You don't turn while alive

They shouldn't have used the word Zombie. the idea that the people become zombies over time and slowly go from human to zombie is just stupid. They only way to become a zombie is to die first, once you die that is it, everything that you were is gone. With some possible instinctual habits still laying dormant, but your personality, memories and thought are gone, dead. THEN you rise again, you are now a zombie, you are no more than an animal going off instinct hungry for flesh, mindlessly wandering.

I find this movie an insult to all Zombie movies. The way her eyes slowly turned white and her skin decayed was just stupid. Decay would only occur after you're dead.

Should have called it something like the Cordyceps Brain Infection from Last of Us, movie would have made more sense then

Why are you assuming that a zombie is alive? In any case they could show signs of "zombieism" while still alive. Decay can occur while people are still alive.

Romero Zombie maybe. But zombies existed before that in different forms.

You can really REALLY tell the OP is a dumbass. Zombie movies aren't chained to be a certain way. Maybe next time do some research before posting and making yourself look like an ass.

In the 78 Dawn of the Dead Roger gets bit in the leg which kills him then turns him into a zombie...

In the commentary track for LAND OF THE DEAD Romeros says that the bite kills you much faster then you die and turn into a zombie.

This comes up several times in the WALKING DEAD show and comic

I know they look like zombies but they didn't actually use the word "zombie" in the movie so maybe it's supposed to be some kind of other virus or condition.

@ OP -- If you ever wanna get laid (like EVER), you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

Your comment is as good as dead, but i zombified it.

You shouldn't have made such a hiss about this. The idea that you are some kind of expert on the matter and decide what the artist(s) should do is just stupid. They only way to become a zombie is to unclench your buttcheeks, once you die that is, and then live a life outside a box. With some possible instinctual habits still laying dormant, but your personality, memories and thought are gone, dead. THEN you rise again, you are now a true living human, you are now an open minded mamal who has learned to think again.

I find this comment an insult to all Zombie lovers. The way you insulted us with your words was just stupid. Decay would only occur after you post this on IMDB.

Maybe you have Cordyceps Brain Infection from Last of Us, your comments make much more sense then.

You are wrong.

According to the last WHO (World Health Organization) study, people who were bitten by zombies started turning after a few days of being bitten, not after death.

After death they are just dead. You can't be a walking dead if you are already dead. You have to be turned a walking dead when you are alive, only then you can walk and be a true undead.

Doctors Without Borders also supplied evidence of such things happening after last Ebola outbreak in yonder 2014.
