Children of the Living Dead.
Please note that this movie has NO RELATION to the Return of the Living Dead series. I had a lot of problems with this flick, The acting, doubing, character development, and story were all terrible. I guess the poducers wanted to save time, so they slapped a blue filter on the camera lens and called the shot a night shot. It's painfully obvious that's what they did in some scenes. The plot was terrible too. It was too loose, and was stupid at times. Another problem i had was they killed off the only cool character in the beginning of the film. Tom Savini (played Sex Machine in From Dusk Till Dawn) played a cop who kicked zombie ass. If he had stayed in the film, it might have been salvageable. The only good thing about this movie was the make-up was pretty cool. Thats it. I give it a 1 out of 5.
