Children of the Living Dead (2001)


Director: Tor Ramsey

PLOT: In 1987 serial murderer and rapist Abbot Hayes disappeared from the morgue. Shortly afterwards, a zombie plague swept his hometown and many lost their lives in the ensuing battle. Now, fourteen years later, the aging residents of the town are trying to erase all traces of their past. But the arrival of a businessman who relocates the bodies of the local cemetery into a mass grave so he can build a car dealership riles up Abbot, who sets out to create his own army of the undead and take over.

UGLY MOLLY RATING:
Two Brains







When making a terrible movie, please remember this….
"Plot holes can exist as long as there is enough action to distract the viewer from focusing on them," …Every B-rate director knows that, and every B-rate movie fan knows it, too…Even my ten year old asked what made Abbot Hayes different from all of the other zombies and why he could think when they could not. Talk about some bad cheese…Zombies that eat only adults? Please! We did get a good laugh over the Abbot Hayes Big Foot in the Woods scene though…Dark, he is shuffling through the trees…Five steps, turns and looks at the camera…I swear it is the same shot used in the Inquirer. The only reason I gave it two brains was for the scene with Jesse, the former grave digger/ robber turned recluse who finally gains the courage to leave his room only to be mauled by zombies…I loved his “Wide open spaces” scene! That alone gets it the two brains…lol
