See I got this idea, it all started when I realized that some day I wanted to do a horror flick,and with me being a zombie fan i came up with this idea that i'm pretty sure is original: it's about a cannibal that used to live in this forest, he was shot down and killed in the forest, only problem is, the guy's soul decided to stick around, so years later, a boy senses that there's something in the forest thats not supposed to be there, so when he goes to check it out, the soul of the cannibal posseses him, and since the cannibal ate humans anyway, the body of this boy tirns into a host for a "zombie". then this other guy, the main charcter goes to check on the boy, he finds the boy's body laying deep in the forest, but it's the boy is possesed by a cannibal so he's basically a zombie, the whole movie basically is about the main charcter trying to kill this zombie, who can transform into a faster more lethal form later in the film, and this zombie refuses to die. the theme is "evil never dies" is you havn't guessed by now, and i've always wondered if there was a zombie movie with just one zombie, well i just thought of one, so is this idea original? you think it could work?
How does he 'transform' into a faster more lethal zombie?
Sounds like you've crossed Terminator with a zombie movie. I like Termintor and I like zombie movies. It might work. Still you might end up with your hero beating up the zombie again and again, nearly killing it and having it come back again. You might end up with a comedy instead of a horror movie if your not careful.

well the way he transforms is he holds back most of his energy, he builds and saves it up if you will, then he suddenly releases it and breaks out into a run and becomes more blood thirsty(skin might chnage color also), so it's not really transforming, but it's just an idea, I might put some more charcters in it and make it so everytime he eats someone he gets to transform for a short period of time, and I'll be careful not to make it a comedy, and if it turns out to be, then I hope the people that watch it have a sense of horror humor.
I like it, but not in terms of a zombie specifc genre...
The moment you said the 'zombie boy' was lying in the forest you lost me. Zombie cannibals don't lie in the forrest waiting for someone to eat do they? Hey, I don't mean any disrespect, on the contrary, I reckon its a goer. Titled THE ZOMBIE BOY.
