The book > movie.

And all this talk about how zombies should act is irrelevant to the zombie genre, at its heart it is about how people deal with the breakdown of society.


I thought it was more about overcoming peoples' irrational fears, including the ones about dead people coming back to life.

i think this movie looks awesome.

why cant people be a little open minded to new shit.

you know what, nvm. lets make another zombie movie about a group of 6-10 people who stay in the same town the whole movie and share a scene where theyre sniping headshots into a crowd of zombies from a birds nest.


I don't mind a movie where the people have to get away, that's not at all the problem, I just don't like the way the zombies are depicted. I am allowed to my preferences and opinion, I will still watch this though and try to like it. Somewhat of a zombie enthusiast here

They were  kinda like zombies/vampire hybrid - its a great question - if a zombie and a vampire bite each other - what would happen?


In interview with a vampire they say If a vampire drinks the blood of something dead, they will die. I'm not saying that's apart of any official canon. Vampires, like zombies, are usually whatever the hell the author wants them to be.

The book is down right amazing! im a huge zombie fan not because of the dead walking but rather how we has the human race would survive. The book touches on how our nations would react to such a threat, very political in nature.. Sadly The movie has almost nothing to do with the book.. Brooks sold the rights to it years ago. I will still go see it but I will not go in with high expectations.

I agree, the zombies in this movie are so stupidly done.

Zombies shouldn't run. They are dead, decaying people, brought back to life only on instinct, they shouldn't have the capacity to run. due to the death and decaying.. it is beyond stupid, and this movie shows them even more stupid.. piling on each other and climbing walls? Retarded


By this logic they shouldn't be able to move at all.

I say it's perfectly acceptable for a zombie to run.

That being said, the criteria for identifying a zombie is as follows:

1. Must have died and been reanimated

2. Must have an uncontrollable hunger for human flesh

3. Ignores all other basic human needs (drinking, sleeping, etc.) <- up for debate since this is just a speculation of mine.

As far as I'm concerned, if this criteria is met then the manner is which they behave is irrelevant. It's still a zombie.
