Children of the Living Dead is a 2001 American direct-to-video zombie film written by Karen L. Wolf, directed by Tor Ramsey, and executive produced by John A. Russo.

Plot

Serial murderer and rapist Abbot Hayes disappears from the morgue and becomes the leader of several waves of zombies that attack his home town. Fourteen years after the last zombie attack, a businessman relocates bodies from a local cemetery to pave the way for progress, but sets in motion Abbot's next undead assault.

Cast

Reception

The film received negative reviews from critics.[2] Russo called it the worst film that he had worked on, and said that he often tempted to resign from the production.[3] Savini has also been dismissive of the film; in an interview, he said that it was originally meant to be a serious horror film but turned out horrible.[4] Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, Volume 2, academic Peter Dendle said, "Wretched and hopeless, this movie manages to be dismal, boring, and unnecessarily complicated, all at once."[1]
