Starting a new life in a quiet Pennsylvania town, Matthew Michaels only thought is to turn an old farm property into a profitable car dealership. He soon discovers that beneath the gentle surface, this small town is anything but calm and peaceful. Firstly, he learns that his new property is located on the site of a graveyard, which all the townsfolk regard as an evil place that must never be visited. He then discovers that years earlier the town had suffered an infestation of the living dead ...zombies who prey on human flesh. One zombie, the infamous Abbot Hayes, escaped destruction. As the construction team begin degging, they unleash the thing the townsfolk fear the most, the wrath of Abbot Hayes and the awakening of ... The Children of the Living Dead.

The last and most powerful specimen of the undead has survived the elimination carried out by the inhabitants of a small town in Pennsylvania that was once besieged by zombies. Years later, the being returns for revenge. A mediocre low-budget production rich in semi-comic scenes and long passages without any moment of tension. The only noteworthy sequence is the initial one, in which a Tom Savini in perfect shape is seen in the role of one of the instigators of the revolt against the monsters. For the rest, implausible actors and crude, ineffective special effects. Ridiculous the makeup of the super-zombie.
