Having seen RESIDENT EVIL 2

I am compelled to ask



Why in god's name would someone think to hide from the Walking Dead in a graveyard?

And why in god's name do people split up in this films. "Sorry, but my paycheck only covers the next seventy eight seconds."

The Living Dead genre really needs a SCREAM treatment, a film in which the characters have seen zombie films and paid a little attention.

Consider: A body buried in the ground for more than a few months, unprotected, is basically going to be disintigrated by worms and other subsurface carrion. In a high-humidity area like New Orleans it might be measured in weeks. Now since most zombies are more-or-less intact bodies (since they can usually be dispatched by destroying their brainpan), that means only a well-preserved body isoing to start moving.

Did you see the episode where they put some dead pigs into a sports car and let them sit for a few weeks? Very, um, educational....

Did you see the MYTH BUSTERS episode, I mean.
