Format:DVD
The only reason I bought this DVD is because it was cheap. I am a huge fan of the living dead series and other zombie related films and considering Tom Savinis name was attached to it I thought it couldn't be too bad despite the fact that I hadn't heard of this particular one. This film will go down in infamy as being one of the most amateur films ever made. I think the makers may have blown their whole budget just getting in Tom Savini for 10 minutes because the rest looked like it took about £2 to make. The camerawork was embarassingly shoddy and the acting was even worse. I don't think you necessarily need a big budget to make a decent horror film. In fact some of the better horror films have been made on a shoestring (I cite Halloween as a main example). The head zombies make up looked okay but it did tend to get on your nerves that everytime he was there even in the background there would be this Grrrrrrrrr noise that would denote he was there. I was surprised to see that this film was made in 2001. By the way it looked it seemed about 20 years old. The only good thing about this film is that it wasn't that long but truthfully this film should never have been made its that bad.

CHILDREN OF THE LIVING DEAD starts out great. The scene at the beginning with Tom Savini was outstanding. The moment he died on screen was the moment this film died. Why couldn't they have kept Savini for the entire film, make him do the SFX and call it TOM, THE ZOMBIE SLAYER? THAT would have been 6 star entertainment! But no, they bring you a script which is so incoherent, characters that are so unsympathetic and very very poor FX. The main zombie was a joke - worst makeup FX in years, which is probably why the BBFC passed this one with a 15 Certificate.

I remember picking this up in the bargain bucket two dvds for a £10 watching it when i was about 13 and i have to say it really doesnt do much for a horror fan let alone a zombie fan. At age 13 the film made me laugh , at age 17 i really dnt think id have to much to say about it. I remember the dialogue really was bad, the acting from the teenagers in the van was surely young kids getting whatever work they could and the whole zombie concept is lost in this joke. I remember the openening being rather exciting which isnt bad saying im remembering this film from 4 years ago. Lots of zombies being shot in a field which is fun yes. But to have the name living dead after it is rather a disgrace due to the classic early romero zombie films. Buy to watch and laugh if you can get it cheap, otherwise, turn away.

a bad film
The first 10 minutes or so with Savini are great. Being a fan of zombie movies, those first 10 minutes made me immensly happy... and for christs sake its Savini! Read more

Horrible!
Quite how this was ever allowed to be filmed is beyond me. I am a massive fan of the 'Dead' series, but fail to see the relevance of this shoddy offering. Read more

A decent low budget zombie flick
Although not part of George A. Romero's 'Dead' story arc, this John Russo produced film is certainly enjoyable. Read more
