Why isn't the guy who feeds his grandfather zombie his blood a zombie? I mean we know he isn't because he can still talk and walk like a normal human being.
shareI was just wondering the same thing myself.
"You're a woman, Harry"
I'm confused about why you're all confused... do you not expect bad continuity and plot holes in a film this bad?

It's actually his father he's feeding, but you're right, he should be infected by the fluid exchange. Good point.
shareA good question. Another good question. Why was Tovier not infected with the blood slurping yet Ben becomes a zombie for no good reason? No bites, not even a lick...just a tire iron in the chest. He should be DEAD. Just dead!
Wasting is what humans do best. I'm just excelling in my field.

Bite on the neck? They're zombies not vampires. Any bite any old place will do the trick.

I'm assuming it's like the original Romero movies. No matter how you die, unless it's head trauma, you will become a zombie. I don't know, I'm still watching it right now.
shareFirst: I haven't seen this movie yet.
But isn't it established that, like in Romeros version, everybody that dies turn into zombies?
That is the thing in his movies, and it works great. Especially in Dawn of the Dead ('78), where people won't understand how important it is to burn everybody that dies immideatly. That's why the outbreak can't be stopped at the start of the movie.
In Romero's original, it was a satellite (I think) or something from space that was to blame for the zombies, but in this it's a chemical thing, so the rules might be different. With the reason in the original it made sense that all the dead would "wake up" regardless of being bitten, but in this one it was pretty cloudy and seemed to be a bite thing. They never really tell us for sure, hence this whole thing about Ben.
shareA satellite was mentioned as a possible reason for the dead reanimating, but as far as I know, there isn't any real canon for why the ghouls in the Romero films reanimated. As for why Ben in 3D reanimates, maybe it's because of the proximity to the funeral home and toxic waste (where the outbreak started). Anyone asking why the others would change, then, maybe the waste was carried IN the bite, also. Just some speculations. Personally, I enjoyed the film

It is often the bites, but not much literature stating that any fluid exchange will do.
And if you remember the first Night of the Living Dead, or rather the good one, people die from the bites most likely because of the diseases that are consuming the bodies after death. And then the radiation reanimates the recently deceased.
"We are traveling to the future. Just one second at a time."
If you noticed, Tovar Sr. had no teeth, so he couldn't bite. Perhaps you HAVE to be bitten, and not just a fluid exchange, as Perunu just mentioned. So Tovar Jr. wounded himself, and would allow his father to feed off of him?
Who knows. Stupid f#@king movie anyhow.
You have to die of your wounds first. Tovar jr will turn once he is dead. Shaun's mother in "Shaun of the Dead" turned only after finally bleeding to death . Shane in "The Walking Dead", Matt Frewer's Character in "Dawn of the Dead" also died, then turned. 28 Days Later had them turning while alive in seconds.
