Children of the Living Dead is a 2001 film, a sequel to Night of the Living Dead: 30th Anniversary Edition, which was a "special edition" of Night of the Living Dead with added scenes and a new score. George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead and its subsequent films, had nothing to do with this movie. As such, the film was possible because Romero's writing partner, John Russo, retained rights to make his own series of Living Dead films.
This movie is notable only for Tom Savini's appearance as a zombie killer in the beginning; the film itself is generally regarded as a bad imitation of the original, though many of the zombie rules are not followed. The actors' performances and the quality of the movie itself, which contains almost no background sound, have earned this a D class from critics.
[edit] 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.
